I'm stress. I don't know why I can perform at work and yet at home, I can't. I'm such a bad mommy. I could not teach my kids well or rather, I neglected them, especially V.
She is not doing very well in school. I've spoken to her teacher and she commented that she is rather slow in her work. She needs to attend the learning support class and now her form teacher will be giving her and some of the students, maths remedial and reading class.
I know this is not a bad thing, as she can have extra lesson which will help her learn more and catch up with the rest. But then again, it led me to think whether is she that poor? It's quite contradicting actually, as she always gets full marks for her English Spelling and at least 85 marks for her Chinese Ting Xie. If she is that poor, how would you explain the good marks?
I really needs to think of ways to help her. Any suggestions? To help her recognise more words, remember them, understand them? To help her love school?

One thing I learned with my girls - they all learned at their own pace. When my one daughter was struggling - we would make a game out the things she needed to learn - it helped her transfer things to her memory - especially when we used music!
Have you asked the teacher exactly what is the problem? Other than "she's slow?". I think if you knew what was wrong, you'd be able to address the problem better. What is V's area of interest? I don't make my son read/re-read the school texts, cos I thitnk that's boring, but instead I let him choose the books he wants to read, with the ultimate aim of increasing his vocabulary.
As for loving school - do try to speak to V about it. Don't feel stressed about it because I think she'll be able to sense your anxiety and that's not going to help.
Chin up! :)
