Really appreciate all your replies and feedbacks. I think i had already stressed her too much and make her hate the subjects. I really thumbs up for those parents who are so patience towards their kids. If my kids don’t do assessment and just think of playing, i will eventually flared up and start to nag and scold them. I remember there was one time, i taught my girl on her maths assessment. As usual she gave me those not interested looks and keep turning here and there. I was so angry that i scolded her and threw all her assessment out of the doors. I know i am in the wrong but i just cant control myself towards her. After seeing all your replies, i understand that i am too hot temper and impatience towards them. So after having read all your replies i think i will not stress her anymore. Like what mum2girls had said," A happy learning environment is very important". And YES we should not give up on our kids

Yes the school usually will give a list of the topics to be tested.

So normally I will only targeted on those topics to guide her and do assessment only on those topics. But my girl she is quite weak in maths so like the topics division and multiplication she will need more attention on them. Especially those problem sums questions she will take longer time to attempt. She is the type who don’t anxious about exam. When I am doing my housework she can’t revise herself. She must wait for me to sit beside her and revise with her. So by the time we reached home is already 7+pm and we can start to revise around 8+pm. Sometimes I am thinking of just let her be and don’t ask her to do any assessment because I really tired of it.
Mostly we will end up quarrelled and shouted at each other and I think is not healthy.

Thank you for all the replies. Slmkhoo maybe you are right. She may be too tired to concentrate because normally we do assessment during night time around 8pm+.Sometimes I can see her tired looking face but I just want to make her do so that she can understand. I think is time for me to change my method as what you all advise. I read some of the forum mentioned some kids attempted suicide because of stress make me so worry now. I shall wait till June holiday then see what and how I can help her rather then drilling her now.

Usually when exam is coming, I will make my P3 girl do a lot of assessment on Maths and Science which are her weak subjects. This time as usual make her do all the assessments. Alot of questions to her is like a stranger to her,especially problem sums. I am not sure whether she don’t understand the question or she just don’t willing to go and think. When I see her ‘don’t care’ expression i suddenly become frustrated and keep scolding her. Sometimes i used those harsh words like ‘why you so lousy…you sure fail you test…how to finish your exam when you do so slow…’. Then she will cry and will start shouting back at me.Recently i noticed she will cried easily on small little matters and i not sure whether is it due to her stress.


Kindly advise how can i revise with her during exam time? Should i let her do more assessment to practice?
