Primary school education

[foxer77]

My girl is in P4 and I kind of regretted not sending her to tuition earlier since P1/2. The basic foundation is not built and she is having a lot of difficulty catching up in class now.

she still can make it since still P4. send for tuition to build up the foundation on those weak subjects. Unless she totally show no interest then that another case.

Just wanna say that besides the need of sending your kids for tuition or any other enrichment class(es) to ensure that they can catch up with the syllabus, it is also important for parents to play their part to ensure that their children are in a good learning environment. Bonding and encouragement are very crucial in every young child's growing years. No matter how much extra classes you send them to, but you fail to provide them with adequate emotional support, they may (or not) do well in their studies in short term but over long term they will be bound to feel the pressure and strain. Can't help but emphasize that parents are the fundamental teachers for all children.

Even if they may not do well, don't over pressure them and always show positivity, encourage and tell them "it's ok, I know you've tried your best, you will do better next time, and I will be here to support you always." Children are still children after all, they may not be able to grasp your hard learning methods yet as they are still "soft" and need a lot of guidance. If you don't give them enough support, that is when they will start going astray and in turn start to seek for other kinds of support outside. Children want to feel loved first. With love and enough support, they will grow well. And even though if their studies may not turn out as great as you expect, at least you know that you've raised a child well and happy. And isn't that what we want for all our children?

You see many successful people out there, but there are also many real life examples of how successful people turn wrongly and succumb to many illness such as depression and more. Lots of professionals end up going the wrong ways, and their lives only start to go downhill from then, after working and building up their careers all the way to the top only to see them drop to bottom again. Usually most of such cases are factored to psychological scars from young — this kind of thing you can't see it but it stems from young

Personally, it's both nature and nuture. Parents need to recognise that they play a huge role influencing how the child behaves and reacts. Diligence or laziness also depends whether the child is disciplined and knows how to clean up after him/herself

Family education is equally important, can not all depend on teachers/
