Ladies, thanks for the compliments on my hse.
Dolly,
Dun have to worry about the communication. Nowadays they can speak English moderately and can understand basic instructions.(unless u take totally fresh one) For Filipino, they entitled to have 1 day off per week. It is negotiable with the maid herself, depending on individuals. My SIL one, after 6 month then entitled off days, 1 day per month. Actually for Indonesian, they also entitled to have off days, but can compensate with extra $20 per month.

Good morning ladies,
Wah! everybody miss Lynn's house again ah? Shaine miss the water activities. After she back from Lynn's house, she keep show my parents on her swimming suit, we guess she must be telling where she went.
Dolly,
I feel to get a good maid is really depend on your luck. Lynn's maid should be consider good already. She is very helpful.

i reply my facebook comments thru here, dun wanna make a big hooha thru facebook. we think kiern is having some learning disabilities, right now we still dunno what exactly, we are crossing our fingers that its because too much tv and lack of sleep. so may cut off his tv time and increase his sleeping time. But if it dun improve from there then we will need to bring him for assessment test.

Actually for Kiern, we still cant confirm anything but there is possibilities. couple of years ago, we already knew something was not right, just tat we couldn't explain it so we brush it off as maybe he still young but back then my mum and sis did ever mention of bringing him for test but as of cos we brush it off.
when he was of a smaller age, we find it very hard for him to listen to us, he will only answer us if he hears what he wanted. Even just by calling him, we needs to call him for a few times before he will answer us and he loves to day dream to the extreme where he will do actions or giggle out of a sudden and when he do that, we try calling him to snap him out of it but we have to call him a few times and aloud then he will snap out.
and up till now, he has problem giving eye contact. when i asked him to look into my eyes and talk to me, he will stumble or his face is facing me but his eye balls will look elsewhere. many ppl always tells me tat just ask him to look into ppl eyes when he talks but he just find it difficult and by means of making eye contact is also an important part of communication which we cannot under estimate and this mode of communication is implemented in our brains right from the first day we were born, its not something where each time i have to tell him "look into my eyes" "look at other ppl eyes when talking to ppl" and even if i asked him to look, he still wont do it.
I got more worried when hubby and i spent our near 2 weeks leave with him, we both felt that something is wrong but we couldn't put it wat was exactly wrong. in fact, his teacher did mention to me b4 his holidays tat something was not right but we will kiv till last sat, i spoke to his school in charge, she did mention if i have ever consider assessment test for him, learning disabilities comes in many form not only the common ones tat we know like austism or adhd but our conclusion now is for me to quit my job, guide him for the time being, his teacher will feedback to me if he has any improvement in school and i will feedback to her if he has any improvement at home.
today when i broke the news to my mil tat i be tendering, she also finally open up to me that she and fil also felt tat kiern has learning disabilities. she said fil ever told her tat its better for me to look after kiern full time myself so in a way i am very touch and glad for their support.
i really glad that u ladies here are willing to listen and all words of encouragement is really appreciated. The reason why i decided to say more here instead of thru my facebook comments is because i know many friends and relatives will say i think too much or he is still young and i dun want to explain too much to them or to argue but the fact tat ppl who are really close to kiern felt tat something is not right is something that i do not want to brush off anymore but face it!

Jer,
oic... hmm, i understand how u feel. Is a good choice to be close to him and monitor him for the time being. And i think an assessment will be good to clear yr doubt at this moment.
My opinion is maybe Kiern is realli shy boy lei that refuse to look at pple when he talk? He seems all rite to me except when I talk to him, he is a bit shy. Different pple has different way of learning and also different behaviours. So dun worry too much ya... I'm sure he is fine der. My hb said he day dream a lot when he is a kid and outgrown it when he gets older =)
Update us after the assessment by the PD if any oki

Morning ladies.
Jer,
Glad to know ur immediate family members N kiern teacher are giving u the support u nd n being frank with u.
It's gd tat u tendered so u can care for, guide n monitor kiern.
Hopefully kiern will show improvement in time to come. If he really does have any learning disabilities, finding a proper channel n professional help to guide him will be paramount to his future learning n social well-being.
Anyway, keep us updated on kiern. I am sure many of us here are concern abt him too.

alice,
ya will monitor him first and see how. day dream is common for kids but for kiern case is quite extreme. he is daydreaming all the time and he will do all the action like he is acting in his mind and giggle out of sudden and its like he is totally ignoring the reality world and we find it very difficult to snap him out of it and due to this, his attention span is very very short and he find it very hard to focus or concentrate. if you observe, i will always say in a stern voice to him "auntie is talking to you, pls answer" "dun be rude, look at ppl and answer" and i have to pull him to make him realise i am talking to him, if not most of the time i be talking to an empty shell. right now we are hoping tat its becos of too much tv and lack of sleep tat causes all of this.
choc,
i already out of the worry stage, now whole day my mind is thinking how to create a fun learning environment for him and i dun wan him to feel stress or pressure. kiern get stress up quite easily. right now at his level he has spelling and from the first day he started learning his spelling, he wet his bed daily. have to keep communicating with him.
val,
thanks, i do some read up on learning disabilities and many of the points really hits hubby and my heart but like i said we will monitor him and see how is it first. anyway learning disabilities is not very serious case, just have to teach them in a fun way lor cos traditional convention teaching style wont work for them.

ladies ,
I was at a wedding dinner last nite , was quite impressed with Jorel that he is really behaving well and he enjoy the dinner throughout .
Maybe he just like to get attention around him and he will said please and down when he want to get out of the chair
we allow him to roam around for a while in between dishes .
And of course PIL was so proud to have him around to boast around with the relative .
But I feel that Jorel really grows up alot

On a lighter note, do you recall an ad in Ch 8 sometime back where it is talking abt a young gal, who will talk to her bear, plants, water tap etc? where her parent and teacher dun noe wat to do with her? and her classmate call her crazy but only 1 male classmate like her and find her special? then in the end when she finally grow up, she pass the acting test and impress all the judges.
so mayb Kiern is juz like tat....
like wat Alice say, different kids have different development and learning pace...and i alway believe they are good at something de....be it, sports, study, music or acting...
do stay positive and strong...
