My kids do their hw by themselves. If they have any doubt i will guide.Mostly i help in corrections in P5 maths workbook.He doesn’t know or lazy to find out where he got wrong.So i go through the answer and pointed to him.Now the Maths teacher mark properly.so i know where he doesn’t understand.

ammonite:Don't the kids complain about not being able to do their own things or meet their friends or just erm, do nothing?ammonite,my ds2 will complain no time to do own things everytime when it is bedtime! :spank: prior to that, he will read all the way from after piano prac (after dinner) to bedtime 9.30pm. then when time to sleep....complain no free time! :spank: but other time, after he is done with reading/browsing his library books (i had to keep a secret stash to bring out to curb his boredom), he will complaint nothing to do. even when i clip his finger nails, he will ask what can he do while i clip his nails. i like his high energy level...so long computer games is out of the picture, he will go look for things to do (reading, doodling, lego, old puzzles, assessment books!!) during pockets of free time.now he has been pestering me to sign him up for swimming. but it has been raining most weekends late afternoon....ds1 will complain no free time. but give him free time, he will play handphone games non-stop....or play with ds2 and get into disagreement due to the numerous rules he likes to set for the game (or ds2 sore loser). :spank:

insider:Many people think that counseling is a waste of time and money. Personally I have no experience in this and I wonder any parents can share if your child or yourself had ever attended counseling before? Is counseling effective? I really don’t know but I am giving myself the last shot to help one of my favourite staff.counseling is a waste of time and money if the person is not willing to change.just as tuition is a waste of time and money if the kid is not willing to learn.it is 'weird' to see how some parents can make great teachers at home, but cannot be a teacher outside, while some can be good teachers at work, but poor teachers at home.

Heard from the news recently that they are opening up more such primary school due to the increase number of special needs kids. Is it the food we eat that causes all this problem? Haizz…

I know of someone who will be opening a class for P5 HCL on Fri or Sat afternoons, limited to a class size of max 4 students. She stays in Bt Panjang and teaches in a good school.
