Hi bleues13,

I am indeed very proud of him, not because of his good results. More in his good learning attitude and willingness to work hard. I hope he continues to stay sensible even beyond his secondary, JC and university days.

How is your child coping with school? As long as he is still coping fine , you don't need to rush into tuition. Sometimes, they just need a little guidance from us. And in my son's case lots of practice.

I buy other schools' test papers to let him do ,on top of assessment books

Definitely agree that attitude is more important than aptitude! I'm not keen to jump on the tuition bandwagon any time soon, so I find it reassuring to hear about your experience and parenting style. My boy is coping and I don't stress him... he's just P2 afterall! To me, the early school years is to develop his ability to learn for himself and enjoy the process of doing so. Though i think 'enjoy learning' can be tough in our education system which is still very exams-oriented.

Wow, Careermum, thank you so much for your kind sharing. I look forward to read more about your elder 2 boys' experiences!

Hi Littleprince and Careermum,

I read with interest about your sons’ academic achievements! You must be very proud of them! I’ve a P2 boy and am hoping to hear some advice from experienced mums with achiever kids how your kids managed their academics. Is tuition necessary? If your kids have tuition, how do they balance their childhood/schoolwork?
