答非所问

since both of them take school bus to school, we hardly goes to school or met up with teachers. the only meeting we had will be the parent-teacher meeting every end term.

 

i received a call from teacher with regards to yu ze's 'problem - 答非所问' and can't hold a conversation. she wants us to help reinforce it at home.

 

some examples given are:

teacher: yu ze, what letter is this? (a)

yu ze: i want to eat apple.

 

teacher is discussing about food/other things with class and ask questions. yu ze will answer non-related answer or talk about trains/planes.

 

teacher trying to hold a conversation with yu ze on a topic. after a sentence or two, he will go out of point and talk about any other things but mainly on his thomas and train tracks.

 

sigh.... how to guide him in this?

new uniform

a brand new year and a brand new day for yu ze. he is in nursery this year and needs to start wearing proper uniform (like primary school type, not t-shirt and shorts).

 

i took out the uniform for him to change, he refuse to wear them to school. he says that one (uniform) cannot, will drop. i packed his uniform in his bag and inform his teacher to change for him and 'educate' him. he went to school in his usual t-shirt and shorts set.

 

after dinner, i pick up another set of this uniform to show him.

me: yu ze, you got wear this today?
yu ze: finished already (means he wore the uniform). mummy, i got new school. must wear this one.
me: no, not new school. its new uniform.
yu ze: no, new school....
me: you want to wear this tomorrow?
yu ze: yes.

the day after, he needs to t-shirt and shorts uniform. how? hope he won't argue with me every morning over which set of uniform to wear.
