My DD is still very much dependent, stilll too playful to be responsible for her own school bag and HW.

Hi preciousmoments!

My DD \"tasted her own medicine\" last weekend. She was allowed to play on the computer on Sunday after dinner. I asked her to pack her bag before playing and she suddenly realised that she has forgotten to do her HW! In the end, she forgone her PC time to complete her HW.

Hv to make them learn to be responsible.

Aiyo my DD oso have to finish her hw each nite b4 play but she chin Chye do cos lookg forward to play time

Sigh.. My DD whines as she does her HW as it takes her time away from playing. I have a feeling she has to kenna from her teacher once before she will learn her lesson..

Tink our DD r d same. Sigh

Tink our DD r d same. Sigh :([/quote]Sometimes, we hv to \"let go\" & let them learn their ropes.., if they want to chin chye then they hv to be answerable for it lor. My DD normally dun heed my advice, it's more effective if it comes from her tr.

I used to freak out if she didn't practice on her piano pieces. Sometimes, I chose not to remind & nag her for a week & she couldn't play the pieces well in class as compared to her frens. Unable to accept it, she came back & worked doubly hard.

We have to learn to take on the \"Supporting\" role more than the active role.

Congrats on yur DD gettg into the sch team. She muz b v talented. Did u rec a letter. Tat means my DD is on recreational basis lor. Mummy more \"eng\" liao. :evil: :evil:

Frankly, I dun find your DD small. My DD is not much taller/bigger. She was teased on orientation day for being short n she told me she's shortest in class.

Thanks! Yes, she came back with a slip of paper informing that her gym classes will be changed to mon and wed mornings. She'll be left alone to eat her own lunch twice a week now. A bit 不放心.

Same here! As much as I want DD to learn to b more responsible for her own learning, I'm afraid the FT will think mummy is so bo chap, cannot be bothered to monitor DD's work. Sigh..

:evil: :evil:

Hi worriedparent74,

Fantastic that your DD enjoys her art lessons... can destress over the weekends. P1/P2 is the best time for all the fun activities before the hectic schedule starts in P3 with science and supplementary lessons etc. :lol:

By the way, DD got into the P1-P2 school team. My poor mum will have to bring her to school twice a week now. My mum has become so busy with her these days.

:congrats: to your DD on making into the sch team for gym...Must be showing great potential. In upper pri, a few of those in the sch team will be chosen to be in the national team. :ugogirl:

Hi chergaby,
