@tyeogh your forum already not active. I specialize in 地藏经 and we should get together. I healed my ADHD and Dyslexia after reading 地藏经diligently. WhatsApp me at 85183288

Hi, I’m Edmund. I used to suffer from ADHD and Severe Dyslexia. I managed to overcome that by reading 地藏经。If you’ve tried everything and somehow don’t see much improvement, I am open to sharing and teaching people how to read it for free. You can PM me if you’re interested. We can organize a get together on Sunday when I don’t work.

I just heard of this new learning centre for neurodivergent teens - Undifferent Learning Centre https://undifferent.sg/ It addresses those teens with special needs in mainstream schools who don’t get specialised coaching in skills like executive function, self-regulation, communication, etc. It may be worth exploring. Disclaimer - I have no direct experience with this centre, but it’s the first I’ve heard of that fills this niche.

Case of Improving Dyslexia Just sharing, we have a daughter with dyslexia, and she struggles to retain information for more than a week. This causes her to do poorly in spelling, maths, and basically all subjects. Through research, we realised that children with learning difficulties often need time, patience, and the opportunity to go through the same story again and again until the words finally sink in. Thankfully, we discovered that reading books really helps her. But the challenge was that she needed us to read the same storybook over and over, many, many times. Sometimes until we were completely drained. Then we came across OtterCanRead. If you search for their website on Google, you can read that the founder’s daughter also has learning difficulties, and that’s why he created this web-app. It’s filled with storybooks designed for repetition learning. When using the web-app, our daughter can revisit books endlessly and slowly build vocabulary at their own pace. (without our constant help). Isn’t that a godsend? Its really good for parents to have tools to reduce their loads. Now, our daughter has improved so much that she is being recognised for her leadership. She went into the best class of her primary school. Still, she struggles with her math, but our effort is getting lesser by the year. For her spelling, we used to give her spelling daily, til now, once weekly. Sometimes she can handle school’s spelling totally without us. We believe the long term building on reading and repetition learning do helps. Do give it a try — it’s free to use. Hope it can bring your child the same small victories and slowly builds their confidence. Just search OtterCanRead on Google. Cheers, ​Jas

Yes, you’re definitely not alone — some parents also experience this. It’s common for parents to notice kids being physically present but mentally distant, often a sign they need a break. This can be normal, especially when they’re tired or overstimulated. However, if it occurs frequently and impacts focus or daily activities, consulting a pediatrician might be wise to rule out attention issues. Generally, this behavior is part of how some kids process their surroundings. You’re doing great by paying attention and asking questions!

I totally agree with @slmkhoo and @zac-s-mum - You should bring your child to go for an ADHD assessment, no harm in that! If you want an alternative, maybe you can check this out. My 9-year old son also went through similar a phase. He was constantly being scolded for making “careless” errors in homework and exam, but I realised that those were actually signs of poor sustained attention. Then a friend recommended NeuroKokoro+ Programme. It is not a tutoring programme, but rather a brain training system that uses neurogames and real-time brainwave data to help kids improve attention span. What I liked is that it does not feel clinical or corrective, it like a fun computer game. After a few session, his confidence grew because now he has been making lesser mistakes and so does his teachers. If you’re interested, I will recommend checking out their site: https://www.kecparkway.com/copy-of-neurokokoro

Hello everyone, I am the parent of a 12th grade student. My child is preparing to take the National High School Exam and wants to enter a favorite university, in which Math is one of the compulsory and very important subjects. I read on TiimEdu that the 12th grade Math program in US is quite heavy with a lot of new knowledge and requires high thinking and application skills. However, I am wondering whether I should send my child to extra classes or extra classes to help him study better? I want to find the most suitable learning method for my child, avoiding overload but still effective. Parents whose children have completed 12th grade or have experience in helping their children learn Math, please give me some advice! Is the program really difficult? And is extra classes really necessary? Thank you very much!

@Serendipity which centre did you go to? Can others also recommend? I am open to going to a private practictioner if that means less waiting time… I am looking for an EP to get a formal diagonosis. my DS is entering P6, so want to see if we can get him extra time.

My daughter was diagnosed with selective mutism when she was around 5-6 years old. She is in the mainstream school. She was not really talking much in kindergarten and P1. But beginning of P2, she started to respond to her teachers and chat with her friends in class. Now she is in upp pri, there is not much of a problem communicating with others, but she still has episodes whereby she may be mute - when the situation gets stressful for her (e.g. visiting the dentist for extraction). I actually published a children storybook on selective mutism. It is more suitable for kids around 4-9 years old. The story is about a little girl with selective mutism the struggles she faces with speaking in school. How through support, and small steps, she gradually learns to express herself and gain confidence in her own way. I did this book because I thought it may help the younger kids understand what they are going through and hopefully help them to gain confidence and hope that they too can overcome this condition one day. If anyone is keen to have a look at the book, it is available on Amazon (The Lost Voice) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DF84QRM3
