My dd will be taking o levels next year. Does anyone have any preparation tips to share? I am a bit worried cos she has not done well for literature for this CA, which is the only humanities subject she has. Biology & chemistry are also in the B range.

Understand your love language and your partner’s love language. There are 5 love languages in this world and all of us will fall into one of it. When you understand and speaks your partner’s love language and he/she does the same to you, then that is how to keep a good relationship going on strong. Of coz, there won’t always be beds of roses. Arguments keep relationships alive also. Learn to manage anger and stress, learn to manage conflicts. These are all skill sets to be learnt.

Important not to nag at them. The more you nag, the more what you say will onto deaf ears. Through my recent personal experience, i became a 'out-of-town' expert for a parent and it really works!

At this stage is usually rebellious and everything classmates say are correct, and anything we parents say will fall into deaf ear!

Kids at this puberty age tends to feel the stress of it. To adults, it is nothing because our puberty was way way ago and it seems normal to us. Most importantly, you want to establish a good communication linkage between you and your kid. Let her know and feel that you will always be ready to talk if she is ready to. Your support is very important, rather than plain anger and shouting. You have to learn to manage your stress well so that you can help her to manage hers. Advice from a stress management specialist.

KS_me:

[quote=\"slmkhoo\"]Recently, she started to SMSing her friends using the four letters words, going to website and watches love movies.
Have you established controls of how much freedom she gets to use her phone, what she watches etc? If you haven't, it will be harder to set them up now, but you should try. Get a time when she is more receptive, and tell her why such behaviour is bad for her (don't just say 'wrong'). We have always been strict with our girls, told them frankly why we feel certain words/websites/books/films are not edifying, and have gradually relaxed as they get older. So far, they haven't done anything we strongly object to.

Just some thoughts.

I think this is really important.

Thanks simkhoo, ks_me,

She promise us to be obedient when we got her the laptop, even though it was necessary by the school. The fact that we parents are working the whole day and can't monitor what's going on at home. It's just barely few weeks into the secondary 1 and her altitude turn for the worst. If we ask her now not to watch any youtube movies, she turn into a deaf ear and don't even bother to reply us. Can I span her? Can I shout at her? Slow talk can't work as we have tried earlier. Am afraid she will hate us even more.[/quote]
