This week is the school holidays for the kids.

My boy is especially happy. Not so for my girl. She finds staying at home is boring. :p

I brought them to the library on Monday, and also a little art session at one of the shops at Jurong Point. The kids enjoyed it.

On Tuesday, I sprained my neck…. so I brought them to the playground. Unfortunately, the playground is infested with flies as there are food on the floor, everywhere…. The kids ended up staying at home.

Today is Wednesday….my neck is still very painful…. but I think I will bring them out anyway.

Endure Endure….

I have not been updating for sooo long.

Now for some catch ups. The busy June holidays proved to be too much for my Miloboy. He fell sick for weeks and missed the last lesson of the Classroom Behavioural Skills Course.

But not to worry, Miloboy has always been a good boy. He is just unattentive, and he does behave well at class. And this is a direct feedback from his teacher. ^^

After the course, the Doctor sent him to a Speech Therapist instead, as he found out that Miloboy has trouble expressing himself well. There is still no medication given for his ADHD…. sometimes I really wonder if it is good, cos his inattentiveness at school is still there, and the teacher, I can feel the stress level is increasing.

True enough, just last week, the poor teacher bursted. My poor Miloboy came out of school crying….

I subsequently passed the Survey Questionnaire to the teacher via Miloboy as requested by the Doctor for he needed to know how the teacher think of Miloboy, which was actually sent to the school in February, but there was no response from the school.

Then immediately after this event, the School Counsellor called me up. From her tone, she seemed to think that we, as Miloboy’s parents, ain’t doing enough to help Miloboy overcome his inattentiveness…..

Ultimately, they are worried about the exam, how Miloboy will flunk if he doesn’t concentrate and daydream all the way. But, somehow, it gives me the feeling that they are more concerned about their KPIs….

I was pretty sad by this suggestive thought, “She doesn’t understand ADHD at all“, I told myself.

Who likes their own kid to be shouted at at school ?

Who likes their kid to be thought of as an idiot ? (although consequently, they realise he is not)

Tell me about it.

With the exams over, all parents and kids heaved a sigh of relief and the kids are already in holiday mood,  requesting to play games every single day.

The School is preparing the kids for a performance this coming friday and I am looking forward to it.  My boy’s class will be having this “Do Re Mi Dancing”, as per what my boy told me. I wonder how it will turn out. He told me it is fun.

Afterthis, it will be the Meet The Parents Session. Got to gather some feedback from Miloboy’s teachers for his ADHD doctor. The June holidays will be very very busy. I will need to shuttle to places as well, the doc recommended a Classroom Survival Skills Course for Miloboy and it will last for 12 days, 5 days per week. Its a one hour session.

I am also looking for a Japanese Language Private Tutor (found one and waiting for a reply) for Sweetie, my elder daughter as she’s very very interested in the Japanese language. If she’s serious about it and doing well, will most probably let her continue.

Ok, its Playground Time for the kiddos. Until next time!

Finally, the schoolbags are really heavy these days.

When its the start of the term, the schoolbags are not heavy.

But now that the term is ending, the kids’ schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier.

Its true.

My boy’s schoolbag is heavy, with all the files filled up with worksheets for 3 subjects, they are really heavy. Dun forget the water bottle and the story book. For kids need to bring reading material to school as well.

This is also the examination period for kids. Its also a heavy period for us parents, teachers and like.

Well, my boy’s not feeling heavy, so in a way, its good for me too, I dun have to worry. ^^

Talk about “slow”. He’s slow but I guess it does have its good side.

I hate badmouthing.

I noticed that when most people, when they reach a certain age, they like to badmouth practically anything under the sun.

I hate badmouthing.

No matter right or not, true or not true, I have decided to turn a deaf ear to it.

I can do it, so can you!

Stop badmouthing!
