:grphug: Good Morning, Club 2002 parents and their beloved children! It's Friday and I believe all our kids have finished the SA2 exams! :rahrah: :rahrah:

It's 2 more weeks to the end of P4 and looking back - whoa! time flies!

I was home late last few days so did not get to sit down to have a proper conversation with my children :sad: But yesterday nite, DD1 said,\" Mummy, it's a fast moving, challenging, tired but enjoying year that I have this year!\" :love: For the moment I felt - hey, my girl has grown - 10 years old and she knows how to express her feelings and emotions....Of course, there are days or times when she becomes so emotional, short-temper and I have to raise my voice at her! :oops:

Well, all I have to say is - Parenting is never easy and is a forever learning journey in us

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

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.

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!
