天才學童讀寫障礙留班

天才與學障是兩個極端，但有時卻會「二合為一」。

中一學生周善是智商（IQ）超過140的天才學童，卻有讀寫困難，更懷疑有運動協調障礙的徵狀﹔他既可以對課本過目不忘，但又會嫌課程太淺不想上課，最後留班收場。

母親何瑞娟為他奔走多個政府部門也不得要領，無助媽媽不期望將兒子的天才全部發揮，只希望周善恰如其名，做一個善良人。

周善小一評估後證實患有讀寫障礙，寫字總是字體潦草及左右不分，但當時未證實他是資優學童，又不清楚為何周善經常跌撞至「遍體鱗傷」，直至中一也經常跌倒，或在午膳後弄至滿身食物污

Comforting to see that this has a happy ending.  If no one explore and learn more about this subject, the kid will just be tabooed as a "disruptive" student that does not pay attention to the teacher.

Chungmama 寫道:
「天才得不到發展是負累、而非恩賜。」何瑞娟累積與周善相處的經驗，「天才對賞罰不在乎、教又不聽、自我中心」，她形容是「超煩」。

矣.............IQ高又如何............

看到人家的孩子有乖有叻，而他每次只會攪事，自己內心感慨無限，也不敢多同其他家長接觸，怕他會多生事端．晚上跟他作睡前閒談時，他總是說一些在校怎樣可走’法律lai'的方法，經常挑戰權威，我只可用盡方法跟他說教．真的不明白他腦子裏想什麼，而內心的感受也難找到朋友分享，人家只會覺得你唔識教，這擔子真的很重，很怕他日後會成為社會禍胎！

Giftedness could be a blessing and a curse.  I remember the music teaching telling me that "perfect pitch" for a musician is an inconvenience and "relative pitch" is useful.  

I have a friend who has two sons and the second one has all of the characters of a gifted child and also a little devil.  My friend acknowledge that this little kid could mature into a Saint or a Devil.  He suggested that he will treat his son like a sheep and guide him away from danger and pitfalls as much as he can.  Afterall, his life is his own and there is really so much that we as parents can do in the 15-20 odd years that we spend with them.

I enjoy parenthood and I see the occasional "rebellion" as a challenge without which both you and the child will have no "tale" to tell in the future when they become an adult.

The most important thing is enjoy the "experience", carry out the duty as parents to the best of our reosurces and ability.

I strongly believe that "you reap what you sow".

I also try to guide him to the right way as possible as I can, but it really very tired. Lucky, we met the good teacher in P.1, I can reduce some pressure than KG period.

With the difficult kids, I use the following tricks all the time:

1.  Reverse psycology;
2.  Creation of genuine motive;
3.  Let them learn the hard way;
4.  Allocation of pride, trust and responsibilities.

They work wonders for my kids
