This has been a busy week for me, and I believe so for most parents with school-going children. Cos, it is the SA2 week ...and as we all know lah...parents are more anxious than their children re the exams, revision, preparation etc...haha....how I wish I can also take leave to help my girl with her revisions ... as somebody will say "we also need you in school"...haha....maybe and hopefully, i can then be able to take leave to help my boy who will be in P1 next year, while my wife attends to the girl.
Sometimes, I wonder... have parents 'over-done/show' their anxiety and push their children 'too hard' so much so that they get so 'stressed out'...and subsequently show manifestation in their behaviour - lying, falling ill, ...even to the extent of suicide thoughts. This will be sad. Some of us may recall our schooling days...then, life seems to be different ...i dun recall my parents 'pushing' me...maybe I am self-motivated.
I am guilty too....cos this week, we were ferrying our girl to her tutorial class for extra lessons in the evening so as to acquire some tips/revision... hope she is not stressed out (dun think she does lah, cos she still plays a lot with the brother when we are home from the class)...anyway, hope she clears her exams.
