@thebottomsupblog This resonates with me much because I was so hopeful that my son would do well, but as I looked at his PSLE results, I was quite disappointed. He did all the revision and past years’ papers and excelled in them. SO why did he do worse? My son was pretty much upset as well though he did not show it. First thing I self-calmed myself and encouraged him that it was okay, results don’t define his character or future. I believe constant encouragement, support and discipline will shape him to a better person and accepting that if things don’t go the way we wanted, we should press on take it as part of growing up. Surely, God has plans for him. In the end, he got into his affiliated secondary school where his older sister is studying. Both of them had so much to share and conversations have been about the school, teachers and their friends now. It’s a blessing in disguise.
