Aiyo. Why the kids these days are so violent? My student also told me her primary school has gang fights.

Hope he is fine. Maybe check on him later?

TheAnswer:

A study habit needs to be cultivated when the child is young. Always changing the method is not going to work. We cannot give up just because we meet some hurdles.
She needs to have a time limit to complete her homework. In her schedule include relaxation time, nap and treats.
Relaxation time, nap and treats must be approved by you. It cannot be simply anything, anytime and definitely not free and easy.

Sitting besides my kid is not something I would do. In fact I rarely do it although my boy is only P2. I can't afford the time.

Start giving her a schedule today. Give her something reasonable to work with. Must persevere this time.

Ya, you got a pt. Bet I gave up too easily and did not persevere whenever things didn't work out what I have expected.

Slmkhoo, TheAnswer & the rest, :thankyou: for your listening ears and advices. Greatly appreciated. Kum xia much much

Hi I had to chime in with my one cent. If she is significantly slower, you may want to check it out. My son benefited a lot from handwriting therapy. I was very skeptical at first, but now that I see the difference and realised that there was NO way I could have helped him without the specific knowledge the OT has, I wish I had listened to previous therapists and done something earlier.

Hi ammonite, do you still have the therapist contact for the handwriting therapy?

Jennifer:

I recently made an arrangement to see a professional who suggested to me that my boy might be suffering from a xx condition based on my email to her describing my boy's behaviour. Our appointment is next Monday. We shall see how it goes from there.

Hi Jennifer, how's the appt going? Do you think it's effective? Was thinking of looking for one for my DD. how's the charges like? You can pm me if you feel more comfortable to talking abt the charges.

I think it was more violent in the past. My dad said he used to go home with torn shirts. sports accidents cannot be helped lah. My son came back from training yesterday and said one boy was tackled (by order of coach), fell on his nose (he was supposed to bend his knees) and ended up with nosebleed.

But I am bothered to hear of older boys beating up younger boys during recess.
