<![CDATA[Share with u after school]]>Hi all


Is your kids will tell u what happened during the day? when u r asking them the qn like : what had u done today? what teacher teach u today? etc. Will them start to tell u some story during the day?

My little one, when I ask him, wat teacher teach u today? He said," today teacher do not teach anything le" then I ask him "what had u done today?" Today do not do anything le" :x

After asking my P1 DD everyday what she has been doing in school for the last 1 term, now she ask me to share my day in office with her. She said can share anything good or bad.


I don't know whether I should be :stupid: or :?: or :celebrate: ???
Yes, I share my day in office with my girl. When she was younger, more on colleagues' kids issues. When she is older, more on other complicated matters, eg working relationship, work matters and some gossipings .... 😄

hi addoil


My boy is P1 tis yr
Ture lor, they will tell you when they are in good mood
I think may be my boy find it 'sian' (bored) abt me asking him the same question everyday since day 1 of sch 😉

Hi,
I've P1 boy too. He does share with me what he did in school most of the day.

This is what we both do every night. After bedtime story from me, is his turn to share his story with me. He'll go on and on.. ie recess time fun, chinese class hypy competition games and etc... untill to a point I've to say:\"enough of the day, your mind need to rest. Sweet dream..\"

Is rather interesting to hear about his friends character, behavior and \"stories\". We even have a good laugh together at times..

I guess this is what I treasure most after a hard day. :love:

So sweet 🙂

My sons will either reply me - don't know or fine...

I had a Meet Parents Session with Lorna Whitson last Sunday. The teacher said is a great way to improve communcation, we can add one more. By asking him to write at least one and two sentence every day then can improve their writing too.

The lessons do not spark their curiosity nor engaged them intellectually, socially or emotionally.

Hi sashimi


of course this is not the good idea to focus on who they don't like... unless during the conversation, they did mention a bit, sure we will try to find out what was happen during the day. rite?
Yeah, that's what I meant. 🙂

But when I asked abt his sch & wat he learnt, answer still \"fine\", \"nothing\" and \"can't remember\" :faint:

Did u ask the question, which teacher/children you don't like? why? will he tell u more about it?[/list]
No, I don't think that's a good idea. But, in fact, my DD will sometimes volunteer that information. Eg. she'll tell me she likes A and B, but she doesn't like X and Y. At this point then I will probe gently a little further.

The idea is to get the kid talking, focus on one thing, then slowly nudge the conversation towards what you really want to know.

Eg. if she answers \"I like teacher A\" then you ask back \"what did teacher A do with you today\"?

My boy seldom talk in class too. He said when he's in class, he'll just sit still and listen. And he complains that his classmates talk too much liao... :faint:

When we ask him what he learnt that day, it's like playing 'guess-what-i-did' game with him.
He'll signal with a nod and sound effects, plus a hand signal likened to the nike sign using his thumb and index finger if I answered correctly. And if I answered wrong, he'll shake his head with that evil grin.

my son also like that, mood up and down, sometime go inside happily sometime refuse to go in so hv to drag him..

jedamum
ya, i think they really don't know how to answer the mummy qn, and he cannot keep quiet, so \"Nothing\" is the weapon for them to stop their mummy keep asking again. 😄

wiimum:
it seems that is the standard answer from boys.

.
Totally agree! I mentioned it to my boy's K2 teacher last year and she suggested asking specific questions instead of general questions as she reckon the kid doesn't know what to say so said 'nothing'.

My list of 'specifc' questions includes (but not limiting to):
1) did you do any writing today?
2) did teacher read any story books today?
3) did anything funny happen in school today?
4) what did you eat for recess?
5) did you have go for a stroll after that or go back to the hall?
6) did teachers ask you to help around the class?
7) what did you do/teacher teach during _____ lesson?
etc etc.

Else, he hardly tells me anything and just ask me..\"what do you want to know\". :roll:

After work, the moment I walked into the house, will ask 'how's your day? happy?' no answer, but asked me back 'why u come back late again?' :shock: instead of answering me, i've to report back to my son then he will then happily say today I've love my school...

next day morning, preparing to go to school :'mommy, i dun like school!!! :x

KSP:
This reminds me of a funny situation.


When I picked my DD after her chinese enrichment class, i somehow noticed one daddy always asked his son \"what do you learned in the class?\". The answer was always \"I learned nothing\" and then the son just keep walking. One day, the son was fast enough to tell the daddy \"I didn't learn anything\" before the daddy can open his mouth.
Being the principle financiers, we daddies have to be constantly monitoring the ROI of our investments. It's not different from how we ask our staff: \"How much sales have you generated today?\" or \"How many new features have you implemented for my million-dollar software?\" Unfortunately, while we can fire our staff, we cannot fire our children when they don't deliver. That's why heart-attack rates are going up in our society 😉

"How did it go today?" " How are you feeling today?" "Did you have fun today?" – try not to ask about work… and give them a hug first…


I usually give some waiting time and try not to probe if they are not ready to answer… they may not answer at that moment but usually after dinner or before bedtime (when they are more relaxed), they will tell you everything…it works for my hub too…otherwise you either get one-word answer or no answer at all…

After I pick her up from my mom (who picks her up from after school care and gives her dinner), we will walk home. During the walk, she may ask (i.e., demand) me to ask her questions about school so that she can answer. :lol:
