Club 2002 Kids

[smartmummy]

Gd morning champ and club 2002!


Yesterday my son talked about parenting.He said, \"when kids around 5-6 years,moulding time.If grandparents with them,GPs spoil the kids cos they love the grandchildren\".He said,\"one of his friend had bad company with another friend and got spoiled\". When I hear from him I just :yikes: . I felt like wow my son grown up like a man.

But nowadays he refused to do everything that I am telling to him.Sometimes he didn't know why he said \"no\".He wanted to decide what he wants.I need to talk to him a lot about studying.He refused to hear also. and :xedfingers: he will be a good boy and cooperate to study.More importantly he has to understand why he need to study harder for another two years.Sometimes I felt that he knows and he didn't want to do hardwork.

[quote=\"snowball\"]i know it might be a bit too kiasu to ask as the SA2 has just ended, but i still need to know from mommies here; how to start preparing our kids for next yr, Pr 5 ? what r the recommended books to purchase for the different subjects?

Hi Snowball,

The experiences shared by KSP in this thread is invaluable, have a read...

Dear 711mum, thanks for your recommendation on the above invaluable thread. :lovesite: it's really a very good reference that can prepare me for what to expect next yr. :rahrah: but is there a \"Pr 5 in 2013\" thread on the same topic? i [/quote]no.It has merged with 2014 PSLE preparation thread.

While 'we' were studying for 'our' Sa2 last few weeks, when I asked ds to focus & put in efforts, he complained that his 'happy' level had gone down. He asked why don't I make him happy. However, instead of answering him, I asked him why don't he make me happy instead by doing what I asked him to do, that is to study hard.


He replied:\"Do you know that its very easy to make me happy than to make you happy?!\" I was like speechless...

Hahaha... yup,they are so smart in talking and shut our mouth.
He told me that when I taught day before exam,he has a pumb on his head triggerd by his studies.He afraid that his brain exploded.He said that his brain so soft you know. :spank:
I have a book that how our brain works.I told him read the book first.I told him that our brain can store infinitely.He refused to hear/accept.What can I do? bring him to psychiatrist or psychologist. I can't Counsel him.

Just last wednesday, dd complained that it was the worst day of her life. I asked her why and the answer was \" I have to revise Chinese the whole day.\" (The next day was her chinese paper)


Yesterday, they were asked in class who would like to take higher chinese in P5 and she raised her hand. :roll: I had to remind her that it was the worst day of her life last Wednesday!

mummies.

i think we have to employ the soft approach...
i brought him out and play whole day on his last day of exams.
i also bought him a present before his results were all out.
he is so happy to spend time with me and....to receive a coin box from me. he said his classmates had stuff like laptop, wii, galaxy note, iphone promised by their parents for good results, but a simple gift from me is just as good. :love:
i had to remind myself that we only have 2 years left before teenage years hit us hard and take away our baby.

I bought ice-creams,chocolates and McDonalds during the exams period. Yesterday the last paper.We went to Library as there was a story time for my DD2.He refused to come.He wanted to see TV.After came back see computer so long.now refused to read story books.After school see TV/computer.


definitely I bring him out but buying toys now i feel waste.one day playing then no playing.
