Children in P1 still in the stage to adjust himself to adopt the new environment. As parents, we should leave spaces for them to learn from error, and accept that everyone should have different learning curves.

More important is to teach your son to enjoy his school life and get along well with other schoolmates.

You should also need to know the learning style (學習模式) of your son.

根據專家分析,人的腦袋大致會用三種不同的模式來接收資訊及學習事物,分別為視覺、聽覺及運動覺。最有效的學習模式是把這三種模式合併使用,但許多教育學家的研究都顯示,每個人在學習的時候都會有偏好或較強的一種學習模式,如果未能配合本身的學習模式,可能會使學習的成效大打折扣。另一方面,孩子的專注能力及時間,亦直接影響各種學習模式的效能。

For examples if your son is major in "運動覺" learning style, when preparing for Chinese dictation, you may need to
turn the text contents into flash cards and let him to re-arrange the sentences or characters. If 聽覺 is dominated, you may record the textbook contents for he to learn,...etc.

Remember: your son is unique in the world. You are his life coach. You need to find out his strength and not just always emphasis on his weaknesses. After all, he can use his strength to build up confidence and bring up his weakness. In addition, there should not be any success or failure in his studying life. All are his valuable learning experiences.

So, be relax and explore your son's potentials.
