Many kids 30 yrs ago would just have been labelled ‘naughty’, ‘stupid’, ‘not trying hard enough’, ‘rebellious’ etc and would have somehow struggled through school that way. Those who couldn’t cope at all would just drop out. Speaking as the mother of a child with some learning disabilities, I am a bit ambivalent about whether too much testing and diagnosis is a good thing. It is good to understand each child to help her achieve as best she can and spare her some scolding and accusations, but it can also become too easy an opt-out from difficulties.</p>

The psychologists would say the kids were not diagnosed. Sometimes I wonder if the psychologists come up with all these to justify their existence. Even if these cases are true, I don't remember schools having so many cases when I was young. At most 1 very notorious one, and even then, he would relent in the presence of the principal.<br /><br />I just want to encourage you to soldier on with a lot of love and patience for your son. The fact that you are in this forum alone says a lot about your commitment to your child. Is there a support group for parents like you? A friend whose father had senile dementia found a lot of strength and encouragement from her support group. She said the hospital treating her father introduced her to it, so you may want to explore the possibility from whoever gave you the diagnosis?<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1201448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1201448</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[rains]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 27 Jan 2014 00:24:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Failing relationship with Son on Sun, 26 Jan 2014 17:32:11 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">Main thing to let the child process the praise keep it at 5secs and then walk away talk tooo much they think we naggy let the praise register and process by them.</p>

DS was drying the bathroom floor after his shower. I asked him why he is drying the bathroom floor because I am going to use it so it will get wet again. He told me he is drying it so I will not fall because the floor is slippery when wet. :love: I praised him for being considerate. I think it can be considered as step 1, 2 or 3? So, step 4 is coming. Yay!<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1201044</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/1201044</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ngl2010]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jan 2014 02:57:45 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
