<![CDATA[P2 results no good as compared to siblings]]>It might be good for the children to have their own study space especially for the younger one so that he or she can focus and build the necessary study skills. Encouragement on the efforts put in will also increase the confidence and interest in putting more efforts in studying. It takes time so be patient.


I'm giving enrichment classes for English and Math in Woodlands for primary students focusing on reading and comprehension and core concepts in Math. Monthly fees is $150 for 8 lessons for two subjects including material.

Hello. Hope things are going well... Perhaps our kids Were classmates?.. A new kid has transferred into the class & taken over that index number. & when the teacher went through everyone's number, the class missed him.

If it is me I would hire a tutor to coach him on subjects which I myself can't teach.
If he his academically weaker I will not want to wait till he is struggling as it might be too late to do something to help him.
I will not set v high std for him but I will make sure he gets all the foundation right.

From your post, it does seem that you are asking how to get him to her standard, and that may not be realistic. Not everyone will be able to get the same academic scores, no matter how hard he works, how well heā€™s taught, how the stars align etc. There is a bell curveā€¦


I have 2 very vastly different children though in reverse order from yours - my older girl has always been weaker academically, while my younger one has always done well. Both are in their 20s now. I found that there were 2 major issues I had to overcome while they were growing up - accepting that they were different and that the outcomes would be different, and finding ways to help the older one improve as much as she could.

One of the posters recommended good study habits, encouraging him to read etc - I completely agree. Also find out what the problems are and address them in ways that he can understand, even if his sister never needed that same kind of help or coaching. Find something other than academic work that heā€™s interested in (sports, arts, music etc) and let him have that outlet for creativity and enjoyment. Tell him that as long as heā€™s put in his best, you will be happy. Treat them as individuals, and NEVER, no matter how frustrated you might get, say you wish he was like his sister! With all this, you will know that youā€™ve done your best as a parent.

And, no, there is no way you can ensure that his grades will as good as hers. Itā€™s possible that he is a late bloomer, so itā€™s important to cultivate those good habits and an interest in learning now.

FFS. chill. Itā€™s a 42.195km marathon, not a 100m sprint.

While they may have come from the same factory, they have to be recognised as two individuals with different likes / interests / personalities. The elephant can never run as fast as the cheetah, but the cheetah will never be as strong as the elephant. Look for their strengths rather than getting obsessed over the ā€˜resultsā€™.

The English mini sneak test is round the corner. Better print past year papers (grammar vocab synthesis + compre) for your dc to practise!


Which aspect do you find is lacking in your dc? As compared to the elder one? Is it review from the recent HCL sneak group role playing 口čƕ?

Jokes aside...start off rationalising the importance of good habits, perhaps. Is your child not reading enough, not practising skills sufficiently?...For instance, my P2 dd used to whine when asked to attempt Maths questions. We then exercise greater patience, break the work into smaller more enjoyable pieces, and now she is ready to practise without sulking.

No, for my case I wont compare the 2ā€¦coz both also have own shortcomingsā€¦

maybe for your case, yr elder one is just too perfect?
