Bummer ... non acceptance letter

Two weeks ago my son went for a school interview. And now he got non acceptance letter ... this was at Norwegian International School. I feel that it is a waste of time. I told them he has speech delay. I mean how do you feel if you have speech delay and get put in a group of people who speaks perfectly normal.  I rather that they said no we do not take kids like him and I save my HKD 900.00 to pay for his speech therapy.

Is non social a crime? I don't know. We just moved and my child is trying to cope with the moving to a new culture. Anyways they are probably not the right school for him. So I shouldn't be jaded. Sigh.

Good for fine motor skills and creativity

I love these ... They are large beads easy for small hands to handle the amount of challenge to arrange on a peg board. I bought them at Toys R Us Hong Kong at Festival Walk. You can really get creative with these and also learn about colors, creating patterns and counting the beads. Have a little patience and good for fine motor skills.

Competition tantrums

I still haven't found a perfect solution to deal with my son who has to get his way in winning board games if not all hell break loose. It happened today in his class as I observed him on the monitor. There were 5 students taking turns and round one is over he didn't win the game, he threw a tantrum.

I have enforced a number one rule with board games.

1. Anyone can win, if you lose don't cry or we are not going to start the game.
    Can you agreed to this rule? if YES then we can play if NO we cannot play.

2. The rule of the game is to take turns. Everyone will have a turn. You cannot skip ahead.
    Pick who is going to go first and then second, third or forth.
    Then remind again about the first rule.

3. The actually game rule. Read the rules of the game. Then repeat the first and second rules.
