Thank you and appreciated all the advises given.


:thankyou:

Thank you ningy,


I had requested to sit in during the counselling, but the teacher said it is not necessary.

I will monitor my child and if he is still very depressed, I may seek help from outside counselling (not from the school).

Thank you hquek.


My child has apologised to his classmate, without his teacher asking. I’m happy that he knew his mistake.

My only worry now is how to help him overcome this incident.

This has been on going for 3-4 months.


Until recently the mother complaint to the teacher, then the teacher bring to my attention. The reason for holding on for so long was not to cause my child being punished. But why after so many months then she brought up and to the extend of making a police report??

Your question is also my question, why is he afraid of my child still continue this friendship?

I need your advise on this issue. The incident happen as follow:


I received a call from my child formed teacher saying that she received an email from one of her student’s mother complaint that my child had been boxing/punching her child for a long period of time (about 3 to 4 months). She will want to make a POLICE REPORT! The school wanted to cane my child, but the formed teacher help to stop the canning.

After the formed teacher investigation, she found out that:
(for easy narration, my child: Peter and his classmate: John)
1) Peter tweak John neck. John felt painful and asked Peter to stop, Peter stopped doing.
2) Peter changed to box/punch John
3) Why Peter did these to John?
Because John did not response to him when he asked him for help.
Because Peter wanted to had him the worksheet, but John ignored him.
Because they compare result.

My questions:
1) My child did not know he hurt his friend. Moreover, John is his best friend.
2) Is the school allowed to cane my child without giving him any warning?
3) According to John’s mother, his child is very afraid of my child. Why did his child still telephone my child?
4) Has my child committed any crime? The police can take action against him? The child is not injured.
5) Now my child is very depress of this incident. Should I bring him to seek a psychology?

Please, this is not a complaint. I agreed that my child is wrong to lay his hand on someone, there is not excuse for him. But being a boy of 12 years old, he may not know how to express himself. My worry is he may enclosed himself from other friends, because I had not seen him so depressed before.
I advised my child to stay away from this friend, am I wrong to give him this advise?

The teacher suggest my child to go for counselling and I agreed. This morning my child called me the counselling will be tomorrow, but he sound so sad and depressed.

WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Thank for all advises.

It is good to start CCA in P3 when the school work is not overload yet. It is very impt to get a CCA your child is interested becos it is very impt if he/she want to apply DSA. To start early, it give him the opportunity to change (if he doesn’t like) when he go to P4.

Ask her to go immediately. It is better to change until you can find him a suitable tutor then to drag on until your son is in P6 when you find it more difficult to change.


That is what I’m facing now, my boy is in P6 now and I’m still trying to help him to get a good English tutor. My time is running out as I’m left with about 6 mths for PSLE.

Don’t hesitate, go ahead!!
