hi everyone..
up late..
come in read forum.. coz need rush work.. then read read read.. nw i forgot what i am supposed to reply to!
Star/Pink: ehh.. seems like the GUG not very nice in terms of their reception.. and the reason they give. i cannot figure it out.. as in it is not logical.. but mow. i forgot what reason they give!?
as in someting 'can trust teacher but cannot trust teacher?!'..contradictin.. hmmm
Star: go easy slightly
if rae was to stay in the GUG class.. she will have many chances to 'go blue'..
Mejo: raw liao ah?! ok ok.. go and buy this wonder gel , "MediGel" from pharmacy.. teng was prescribed this by dr ong.. and it is actually meant to be for mouth ulcers.. so that teng can continue to suck on his thumb (applied on thumb) and it will still try to heal.. now ok liao
Swmom: ah bui teng went for 8 LESSONS leh.. which is still double of what ur kid attended so look who is still slower?
and as a kid grows, their focus and concentration will grow also.give ur kid some time...
I was told .. that a child's progress shouldn't be pegged to other kids.. ehh.. ok. this comes from a colleague in the shcool of sports, health and leisure.. and she was trained in autism.. so u can imagine i always go fun after her..
that time she was concerned that teng did not crawl. hence she cautioned me to be careful.. so we talked again, she said teng can walked liao and is running and proceeding to jump.. maybe teng is quite unique coz he does things reverse.. now he is going down stairs, aided.. but refeused to go up stairs. see how sot the boy is?! then i told her this.. she said.. 'the child should, progress as a whole.. if there is progress.. he is fine. compare progress to the child'sdevelopment as a whole.. NOT compared to other kids".. i will try to remember that..
it is going to sound ironic/contradicting coming from someone who is always 'whining' about how 'slow' his boy is.. but when the perceived 'slow' boy catches up.. but there is this immense joy that is felt only by me alone.. and this joy is not relief from comparison.. it is just pure happiness to know that ur kid has grown..
so given that everyone has his strengths and weakness.. (examples well quoted by pax on her J & M).. and that the constant assurance from mums here that advnacement now doesn't equate to any additional adv in life.. it just means.. 'leave it be?'.. there is a saying..'xiao X liao3 liao3, da wei bi jia"??
and when i am 'down and out'.. i always tell myself that teng is healthy and well..strong and cute and happy.. and there are other people in this world who are less priviledged.. and i should channel my energy to hlep those instead ..
alamak.. so long..
and why am i writing all this?? beats me..
okok. i should start working! :S
