Lydia,

It turned out that Brian napped for an hour yesterday afternoon but he couldn't sleep well at night. It took me over an hour to bring him to bed and he woke up twice in mid-night. :yawn:

BTW, why did your friend let his son study in two kindergartens? Just want the kid to learn more? That's too much for a kinder kid!

Wow, I missed a lot of your conversation.

Thanks to Doris for your care.
I suffer from inflammation of eyes.
These two days I slept more but the illness make me look & feel a bit tired.

Hei Ching mommi, I used to live in HK side before marriage.
Though I’ve been living in Kln side for some years, I don’t have much idea as to which schools in Kln are good.
For certain, I know Alliance
Primary School is a good one.
According to you, does the school emphasizes on music development ?
FYI, I live in Kln
City.

DBS is definitely good but is too competitive.
Taking kids to two kinders & a lot of ECA is too much & I agree with Doris.
Doris, since you’re a teacher, maybe you have advantage in enrolling Brian in a good school.

For me, La Salle is on my top priority.
I do think it will give much pressure to me but I only know La Salle is a good school in Kln side.
I may also consider schools in HK side (my mom’s living in Western District).

Lydia,

Brian did show improvement as he's getting bigger. However, his social skills are still weak. He had as assessment in CAC again last week. It was found that his concentration is still weak and he couldn't express himself well.

ljsze,

Brian only has advantage in going to the primary session of my school but not the others. Personally, I prefer a co-ed school but my school is a boys' school.

ljsze,
It's good you live in 41district and have a higher chance to get in. I'm just thinking what kind of school is suitable for Preston, a traditional one or more active approach. I'm afaid a traditional one has too much pressure and also suppress one's creativity. It's a headache to think about this topic.

Doris,
Any follow-up for Brian to improve his attention span and social skills? Preston is not good at social skills and I plan to let him take the EQ course again in Sept.

Doris

You mentioned that Brian took assessment. Regarding the issue of concentration & self-expression, do you notice that he has got a problem (if you do not take a test) ? Or, is it just minor ? Btw, which school do you teach ?

Lydia

I do agree that traditional school suppresses one's creativity. School selection is really a headache to all the parents.

Lydia,

Brian was referred to Heep Hong (Pak Tin Centre) again for group training. I just wonder whether his concentration span can be improved in group training. What's more, Pak Tin is too far away. Anyway, I will let Brian join the training for several weeks to see if it helps.

ljsze,

Brian's short concentration span is quite significant, esp at home. Miss Cheng told me that Brian would lose concentration in class as well but the situation was improved in the second term. For self-expression, I think it's a matter of time.

For the school in which I teach, pls check PM.

Doris,
I think a group situation can improve social skills more than concentration. But on the other hand, a group is closer to real situation in which you need to pay attention in class to what the teacher said intead of one-to-one basis.The EQ course Preston took also trained that too. Preston was only fair in this aspect. What Dr. Chow did was she read a story with different objects in it. The kids had a picture of all the objects and they had to listen carefully to what objects appeared in the story and the amount. Then they needed to color the objects very fast while still paying attention to the story. Preston got little marks in the beginning coz he colored too slow but later on he knew the rules and did better. It's not easy for kids but Dr. Chow said they should be able to get most of them.

ljsze,Doris,
Have you heard of Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau? I heard it's a very good school and not traditional. It's not easy to get in either and they teach in Mandarin. Cressida's mom told me that Cressida went for a Mandarin prestation competition yesterday b4 coming for the birthday party. She's a brilliant girl.

Hi LydiaWong,

I don't think Hei Ching have much advantage when applying APS. She still needs to attend the interview and no extra mark will be added even her elder sister is an APS student. Anyway, will try best .....

Hi ljsze,
Being a APS parent, I will tell you that it will be pity if your kid does not learn musical instrument. They look for the best musical tutors in town to lead the orchestra and teach the students. If you will consider APS for your kids, please make sure at least they don't hate music. he he...

That's good if your target school is La Salle and you are now living in district 41. You can try to apply this school in 2 rounds. However, you should aware the heavy workload for being a LS boys. My best friend's son will be a P4 boy in LS from next month. Since she is a working mom, she has arranged her son to a tutorial centre every day (after school) when he was P2. Although it costs her more than $3000 every month, she can keep good relationship with her son after work. As I don't know if you are a full-time mother or not, but please aware that taking care the homework/exam for a primary school student is not a easy job. (especially for those studying in famous schools unless you don't care about their ranking.)

Doris, Lydia

You've really done a lot to help your kid improve in different aspects.

Lydia

I know Choi Kai Yau is quite popular because of its teaching method & having 2 teachers in each class. If you read the yr book of LH, there are quite many graduates going to this school. If you aim at your kid studying abroad, this is a good choice I think.

Hei Ching mommi

I know the case of top school like La Salle & DBS. I talk to some parents of these schools but seems that the kids can manage. It's more of a problem of parent. Got to start checking for more alternatives within & across district.

Hei Ching mom,
Preston is learning piano for a year now. He doesn't really enjoy it but he won't hate it. I guess his talent is not in music. But thanks for your advice and I'll consider what school is sutiable for him.

ljsze,
I don't think I've done a lot for Preston, just he needs more attention in some aspects. I just do the best I can. I think a lot moms do a better job than I do.
