Dun think it's a casual question. he actually asekd me seriously if Sam was going to a playgroup. I said I was thikning abt it, & he said no, bring him to a weekend class. I thought he meant those 1h type, he said not enough! Shd go to a 3h type like Lorna Whiston. I was like.. er.. what's that???
sharon
Thanks for the list. I'll google them. Where got 3h type of class??? I can't imagine him being able to be inside for that long. Aiyoh..

Nvm Sam also doesn't call me either
And worse is.. MIL's so tickled by it. keeps saying that he can call Jiejie, Gonggong, Porpor, Papa, Gugu.. but cannot call mummy. I dun see her trying to help at all lor. Everytime he goes near their photos, he'll be pointing out jiejie. She doesn't bother trying to get him to call me. It's all her "own" family. I know I'm bad but I get so upset I feel like slapping her sometimes! Gosh! So this is where Sam gets his violent tendencies!

Ethan calls me 'Jie Jie' when my mum asked him who I am! Even though my mum always corrects him, he still calls me 'Jie Jie'. But not in front of me. Cos I always firmly tell him no, it's mummy. So he totally stops calling me. Sometimes I dunno whether to be upset or laugh.

Sam also called me Jiejie for a while!!!!! Then he also stopped calling me! That was abt a month ago. Gosh! The 2 of them parkkat to 气死我们 ah???
And nvm. Sam also dunno what alphabets or numbers. Cannot stay still to even learn. I gave up long ago already haha
piggy
Well I guess thinking that Sam has autism is a bit kuazhang lah. I got over it liao hee. Guess Sam isn't the "serious" type? Or maybe he wants me to go try the classes then feedback to him and based on my feedback, he can tell me whether to go to specialist?
Coz this PD everything also ok, nvm, dun worry.. type. If he actually ask me to bring him to school.. must be need to go I suppose.

Sam & Ethan can be buddies. haha! Maybe yr PD is suggesting classes for him so to be more well-behaved. It's for the same reason y I want to send Ethan to daily playgroup. To teach him some classroom rules & to learn to sit still! He's always moving around.
I a bit regretted at first & thot of withdrawing him from class cos he kept crying & simply can't keep still at all. Remember I even asked for suggestions where can I find classes that he can move around instead of sitting down to learn?
Just when I decided to withdraw him & enrol him somewhere else, he stopped crying. I'm v happy that he can sit down to listen & participate in class now. Although not for long. But u know lah, it's an achievement for our kind of kids rite? haha!

I didn't ask leh. I was so distracted by Sam's screaming & crying & a bit stunned with his question that I didn't ask. But I baguely remember it's to make him "socialise".. coz we did talk abt stranger anxiety & I told the PD Sam has not prob with all strangers - only some, depending on who it is. Maybe that's why he didn't send me to see specialist?
I also dunno how to do a 3h class!

Yeah maybe it's to "soothe" Sam's temper? It's really very strange that he told me to bring Sam to classes *scratch head*
Yup I rem you asking abt "moving ard" classes. It's great that Ethan has settled in
For our type of kids, if they can sit still for 5min, I think we need to give thanks liao! I think better not let Sam & Ethan play together. We might collapse! haha

Jul, i also wondering y ur pd suggest that. Maybe he thinks enrichment classes with parents will help him socialize and can encourage parent child bonding. And maybe he think sam not so sociable cos sam cried when seeing him but pd dont know that sam wasnt crying outside.
Shayna calls me mama or mami but calls my husband mama too!! She can say papa but when she wants to call her father she says mama.. Hai.. Haha.
Shayna could point out her body parts (head, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, belly button, hand, leg and backside) but doesnt talk much. Haha.
Piggy, yeah all kids develope differently. Shayna doesnt excel as well verbally but socially wise, she's very well adapted.

Maybe I shd ask him again what he means when I see him next mth. Coz Sam will need to go for his 5-in-1 booster, so I can prepare myself mentally. I'm aws very stressed at the DP's coz Sam aws cries. he's been crying since like.. 5 mths old!
I think it's more impt for a child to be sociable than to talk. Sam says clothes, card, car, bread, nana, pear, pleple, jiejie, gonggong, porpor, papa, gugu, gorgor, chair, bag, bird, cat, ... but I wish he's more 'easy'? Haha greedy parent that I am, I don't want him to be 'backward' either. Oh well...
Oh Sam gets confused between jiejie & gorgor too

yeah kyler is really fast, sometimes i wonder if zac really doesn't know or he's just refuse to say it out.
cos i notice that when i give him instructions, sometimes he will obey and sometimes (most of times), he goes and do the direct opposite.
joyful
zac is very scared of this remote control robot toy that i got for him. he loved it so much when we were at the taka toy fair that he kept guesturing me (he's on the pram)to chase it, then when we got home and i inflated it (it's almost same height as him),he runs far far away whenever the robot nears him.
jul
maybe the PD just want to observe/your feedback on how Sam behaves in a social setting. i worry about how zac behaves also, he seems very aloof.

Maybe you're right. It could be that he asked me about whether Sam is attending playgroup for feedback on his behaviour in a group setting. Then since I replied that Sam doesn't go to playgroup, he asked me to try out the weekend class where I can sit in to observe.
piggy
I also find 3h very very long. I asked PD whether he refers to those 1h class, he said it's not long enough - barely warm up then dismissal. He said 3h & I nearly fainted.
zen
Ethan's already gog to daily playgroup right? If he goes to Zoophonics, won't that be less frequent than now?

Too bad Sam ddoesn't like gog to the PD haha

I really dunno leh. Boohoo.. so blur hor? I also dunno why he asked me that. maybe like babymaking said, he just wanted some feedback on Sam's behaviour lor? Then since he doesn't go to playgroup, I can't provide any? or maybe because he sees Sam cry so much, he means not to start Sam at daily playgroup immediately coz he may freak out, but to slowly ease him in with 3h long weekend session so he can get used to playgroup timing which is also 2-3h?
I very headache now..

maybe he's just saying that to tell u that it's time to send him for class and not just stay at home as going sch can socialize and learn things ESP for a single child. And the reason for 3 hrs is he will need time to warm up. If too short, by the time warmed up, time to go back. So don't think too much into it. There's nothing wrong with Sam just that it is time to send him to sch to learn things.

How abt trying weekday lessons that are conducted twice a week? Maybe more classes at shorter period can help oso? I honestly think 3hrs is too long for our tots to attend, esp tots like ours, buay si diam one. Even Ovann will get bored in his 1.5hr class, and it's very hard to control him or get him to sit down.
Mummies, how many hrs are nursery conducted? The kindergarten just got back to me that the timing is 8.30-12.30 for am session, and 1 - 5 for pm session. I thot nursery only 3 hrs but this is 4 hrs leh. Or am i wrong? Which timing wld u prefer if u r like me, hve to bring kid by public transport to school everyday yourself?
