my dd has been very "slack" after the prelims. Not sure is it burnt out. Keep reminding her the big war is not over, she said she know but…

Give a her 3 days break? Fill the 3 days with FUN and FOOD... long walks... leisurely meals... cycling... NO COMPUTER GAMES BECAUSE THESE USE UP COGNITIVE ENERGY.
Do this quick (like starting tomorrow?) so that she can recharge... then maintain a soft training schedule from now till PSLE. Keep her humming... not revved up. I teach a course on Burn Out and Stress at the uni... so... I do know what I am talking about.
But well... Mommy knows best. Just my suggestion. -

We went slow for a few days after the prelims...or else both of us would have gone bonkers. The big war is just 24 days away...didn't wish to remind him of the number of days actually but he doesn't seem to know the urgency if I keep quiet. I was very soft with him so as not to stress him...but tutors complained the same thing - HE REFUSED TO THINK when he sees thinking questions. So mad with him that I had to cane.
He seems to think that everything will be presented to him on a silver platter...anything difficult and he will just switch off !!! -
My ds is quite slack too after prelims. He needs to go for supplementary classes for four days. Thinking of giving 2 days break this week.

Is it a norm to behave that way. He looks so relaxed only mummy is so stressed up.

Don't know if DS is the one who slacked after prelims or I am the one. Feel like got no more juice left to push. Maybe I am burnt out!

I believe most of us are burnt out by now. Ever since my DD’s prelim, we are taking a slow pace too… I also believe in no last minute of drilling anymore as to prevent backfire! Now we should just continue to do more reading for Science, go through questions that she had did wrongly and do practices selectively…

Haha, Chen's advise can apply to you
Have a foodie fun break for 3 days .
Actually that is what we did for DD. During Sep hols , 3 days getaway at Sentosa to just chill out. Both DD and DS fondly remember that break even now.
Only I was paranoid :frustrated: . Watched like a hawk over what she ate , avoided crowds and every ride we went I was on my toes to protect DD from accidents...even repeatedly warned DD, that if she were to fall , NOT to use her right hand to break the fall.
Refused to let DD fly the MegaZip too much to DD's disappointment.
It was well worth it for her.
Not so sure about me though! -
I dunno about you ladies but I am reminded of the last month of my pregnancy… WILL THIS THING JUST HURRY UP AND COME OUT!! I am so tired!!

DS also look xianzzzzz. I also getting lazy, but gotta keep reminding myself to set good example (still got DD watching us closely, this gal is lazy like the mommy so cannot let her catch me too relax :rotflmao: )
Was at west mall & saw a ukulele + teach yourself book with 2 disc @$69......looks interesting & bought one set.
Hope can cheer DS up
