benlee,
today, we went to do the registration for Amanda at the gifted and talented school in Manhattan.
Nest+M....
We don't know if Amanda will like it or not, but if she doesn't fit into it, we will pull her out immediately.
Nest +M is the top 29 high school in US.. they starts from kindergarten.
I wish.. we made the right decision.
Amanda is asking us that will she attend new school soon (as teacher starts teaching her about new school --she is the only one who will leave her old school)

how is the situation in china?
Please take care, as you need to take care of your son as well.
greetings from new york

Dear Wynma,

Thanks for the information.  Do you know how those schools bring up the gifted children?  Any comment...?  Anyway, I will try to find more information for both.  Many thanks.

Dear Nillie_Mami,

It's nice to hear that little Amanda got such great achievement!  Don't worry.  I think she will like the new school even also miss the old place and old friends.  Just try to explain to her that we all growing up need to move on to many different places.  And, everybody have to move on.  From kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, high school, university and so on.  She being the only one now moving on is because she is the first qualified one, and, the second and rest will keep doing the same thing later.  We still can be with our dearest friends and all the ones we love and miss, even we no longer stay at the same place to study together.  In the new place, we learn new things and make new friends as well.  Tell her this and I definitely think she can understand.

China now is very busy for redevelopment.  Over 50% of temp. housing building fell into Guangdong's hands (every province got own duty from state council, but since Guangdong is the richest one able to take the majority - it pays quite a large number of HK little construction firms for doing 80% of its job).  For the permanent ones especially the infrastructures, all is politics and all state council related departments everyday trying best to show their respectively capacities want to be awarded at least certain part.  But I can tell that they all will fail because even state council cannot control over any in this dimension.

I personally just care of the people.  How they can recover, rebuild their homes (even state will build the physical ones for them), how they can live on after nearly whole region collapsed in such horrible disacter...???  How the little ones losing parents, being handicapped can grow up and then go on...???  Every time I think about this, the heart is bleeding.  Thanks God that I was told no one building those "tofu" rubbish schools could escape from being shot for guilty after I the same day reading news in TV that hundreds parents and foreign reporters were caught because of shouting for fair to their lost children had asked for why in tears.  I wish I could be one of the troops holding gun pointed at those guys and shoot!!  My seniors said they didn't mind I would use more bullets (perhaps worried I might shoot our own people by error...), but not want my hands getting bloody.  Therefore, some professionals are doing that job now.

The most guilty I got is I being such crazy busy for workng on business haven't got sufficient time to teach and play with my little boy even he is always around.  Having such mother like I is in fact a nightmare.

Anyway, how are you?  Everything going fine.  I wish you are.  Thanks for kindest blessings.  You take care too.

Greetings from HK...

Dear Benlee,
still.. in new york, our chinese community donate money everyday. The radio and chinese newspaper are still working on it everyday.

it was Amanda's graduation today. And surprising us.. she is the first honour student of the year . So, at the end of the ceremony, principle invited me to have a speech in front of all parents and guesses. I thanked the school, in these 3 years, they took good care of Amanda, thanks the teachers who taught her how to study, how to play and also taught her to be a multi lingual girl.. with russian, spanish and english... (at that point, everyone started to laugh).
She is the only one who will leave this school. and from this sunday, we will randomly bring her to the new school.. hope she will get familiar with her new school.
we had a very nice reward certificate, and a graduation certificate. I am going to put them into Amanda's scrapbook. keep them neat and nice.
I almost cried today!

Dear Nillie_Mami,

Thanks for kindness to Sichuan.  I promise that the real final power behind has already realized.  Ridiculously, it always shows only common people got the most beautiful hearts.  Have you realize Mainland China has changed quite a lot in many dimensions since 2 years ago?  Ha, ha...  No one outside including central government knows what the real power really thinks.  It finally has been awaked.  The one sending roughly 150,000s people with medicine and rescue weapons from air, marine forces and armies to save common people 2 hours after earthquake was "them".  Don't worry about Mainland since we will recover very soon.

Congratulations to Amanda's graduation!!  Now, she became a big girl.

I also want to cry...  My boy learnt 9x9 times table by himself within couple days when he was 23 months.  And now, playing times and divided games up to 14x14 by his own.  He played with his little PC toy, learnt and finished Phonics level 2 by himself while I was in my battlefield but physically beside.  I haven't got time to play or teach him, always.  It is not too bad if I can have 2 hours to teach him within 2 weeks.  But he can read those Chinese and English words immediately after seeing, which I taught him once 2 or 3 weeks ago.  In order to fully utilize the very limited time, I normally teach him around 40s - 60s new words at one time...

He got a friend (2 years 9 months, 6 months elder than my boy) in playgroup.  His parents let the little boy attend 6 different playgroups 7 days a week.  Even at their home every day and night, they keep playing CDs of 9x9 times table, poems in Manadrin and English, phonics, different typed flash cards when the little one is awake.  I don't want to comment on their way to bring up this little boy.  But the fact is the boy now can read 90% simple sentences of whole children story book while he still remains at "1" of 9x9 times table after half year.

All parents burn out themselves so as to take care their children.  I do take care of thousands people everyday, but who takes care of my boy????!!!!!  I gave born to him, but what then?!!!  I stop all parties whoever they are coming up for anything during day time and only allow being reached after my boy falls into sleep at night, but there are always "top urgent" businesses...  The one who need I take care of the most should be my boy, but I haven't.

That's why yesterday I said to have a mother like I is a terrible nightmare.

dear benlee,
and that's why your lil one is a gifted from God. Because God knows that you have different roles, different duties at the same time.
I did not let Amanda to explore to 9X9 table..
Then time comes, she will ask me.. same here.. I will not push her to do those thing.. whatever anything she is learning now, is "on her wish". I don't do "non-sense" thing.
if the child does not know what is going on, that is wasting their time, and make thing bored.
Glad to know that thing in china is under control.
Amanda asked me about the earthquake, I just told her about the very general idea.. (I did not mention about the death, because she has fear about it, she will have real night mare, cried and sweat thru the night).
Amanda got her very first bank, and now she is saving her money,and she uses her allowance to buy things she wants. like have Happy meal in Mac Donald with 6 pieces Chichen nuggets cost USD$5.15, she has to save for 2 weeks, or she has to do extra work at home, help out with prepare dishes for dinner, take care of Gabriel, do her laundry. clean the garage.. etc..
Amanda's chinese is really worse.. she is good with russian and spanish.. but chinese.. *sigh*.. we do not have any idea.. She only knows her chinese name, she knows that she is a girl in chinese, she knows 2 nursery rhymes in chinese, she knows that she is 4 years old in chinese.. that's it.
when your lil one turns 3, you can apply the online course from standford university. They have online programs for kids who are gifted, and also, he will have something to learn as he uses computer now. He can take some credit online.

Dear Nillie_Mami,

Thanks so much for all your kindness...  I shouldn't mention any on Amanda's great day, no much how much I wanted to tell you my story.  Sorry... and many thanks.

Honestly, I also think some parents bringing up their children by very terrible ways although it is the fact for majority HK parents.  They all expect / want to train up their children to be super heros.  I just wish my boy could grow up in love, fortune and luck.  But what I in fact have done on him???  I throwing him by side and then setting thousands rules to force him follow so as to well behave and develop certain most important foundation value concept which should be totally disregarded at his current age, after I realized he could understand all what I had told.  I let him know that we must treasure all we can have now from food, water, toys, clothes and etc. since it is never a must, respect and be polite to everybody even including those whom he doesn't agree with their horrible behaviours (he can't copy or complain but must be able to keep himself all the times under any condition well behave), not attract and never being attracted by the others, stand out and able to protect his friends especially the girls and little ones...  Sometimes, I do query whether I am crazy for doing that.  But, I got no choice since I am too closed to power.  I don't him to go on my old way in future, but I must do something first so as to eliminate all estimated possibilities which might turn my little angel to be a monster.

Do you remember I previously have told that all other people think my boy got the whole world but in fact have lost the most.  I am not able to give him many things even including those nearly all children normally have everyday.  Is it fair...???  It's me creating such situation.  No one force or can force me to stay in battlefield, but I choose this way.  I can't leave those people and my seniors but trade off my boy even he was still in my tummy.  Putting the load on shoulders or letting whole collapse...  It's on my shoulders and will still be there at least in coming decades years.

Perhaps I better stop complaining here.  Otherwise, the negative feelings will spread out and infect you.

I introducing 9x9 times table to my boy was because he had asked me what and how when he had found his little friend got such "interesting thing".  I then introducing 14x14 because I wanted to pick him up after he had showed off how well he after couple days could manage 9x9 by singing "2x1=2, 2x3=6, 2x5=10, 2x7=14, 2x9=18...", "3" normal because I had stopped him, but "4x2=8, 4x4=16, 4x6=24, 4x8=32, 4x10=40...".  Our family doctor asked him why.  He said, "4, 8, 12, 16, 20...".  When he had found we both looking at him, he left words before going to play with baby toys in clinic,"5,10,15,20,25,30..."  But I promise I have ever introduce or mention multiplication before even up to today...  At that time, he was just 24 months.  

Just like he suddenly can read "earthquake" two words in Chinese.  I just told him what had happened when he had asked why I was crying in reading news...  I need to tell him that because he being a boy should be able to grow up strong.  For him, just a nightmare perhaps even I think it is not applicable to girls (fortunately, he didn't make any nightmare in dream).  For too many thousands babies, kids and people, it is their real life.  And, I think I need to well explain why his mother has to work so hard, let him keep losing so much and brings him into battlefield everyday.  I guess...  he understands.

My boy is much richer than his parents since he got too many "red pockets" after born.  I wrote down details about from who, the date, for what reason and where on each red pocket, so that someday he can know everything when he opens and is able to read all those words by himself even some of those seniors leaving blessings to him have passed away.

Tell me what your mail address is by PM and I send you some Chinese cards by carrier if you have interest to see whether they can help Amanda.

What is Standford University online course for gifted children?  What report they need for proving if the child is gifted?  Is HK government health clinic's official report acceptable?  When I need to submit application?  Only after 3?  Would you mind tell me more details?

Anyway, really thanks...sss so much for all kindness!!!  As you previously said, I know why you got gifted angels from The God.  The God got own meaning for doing every single thing to we all.

Have a nice weekend.

Dear Benlee,
Have a look with that.. some of Amanda's friend takes it..

http://epgy.stanford.edu/overview/index.html

As Amanda will attend Nest+M, so we did not apply it for her..
They required the IQ test result or evaluation from dept of education.. something like OLSAT will be good. some document can prove that your lil one is gifted, then he will have a test before he attends the program.
He is doing much better than many kids in Grade 4.

Dear Nillie_Mami,

Many thanks.  It's a good idea and I now understand why many gifted children go to US.  Honestly, HK is nothing and US is much much more and better even comparing with UK.  I haven't take my boy to have any IQ test because I basically do not have much interest in proving whether he is gifted or finding out the score.  But now, I have change my mind...  If the score can help, then we go to find it out.  Anyway, thanks a lot once, once again.

But sorry, what's the children normally age in Grade 4?

And, you still haven't tell me where I can mail stuff to you.  Any post box??  Or you want I bring those along when we meet in NY later?

No, he is not that good.  He just finds "times + divided" and Algebra very interesting and loves to play with numbers and letters.

I think it won't be too long... even though I honestly don't know the exact schedule now especially somebody has called for a "top urgent meeting" and I most probably have to fly to Beijing very soon.  But in order to save my time, I will try to let them fly down rather than I going north.

Thanks for kindest advice.  I'm then better let "the score" help him to get into some interesting places having fun.

spelling games and Brain quest

Age 2 kids
They can read vocabs and spelling vocabs.
They can count one flower, two pigs, three cows (single & pruals).
They speak full sentences "There is an apple, There are two oranges, there are three tress ........ten pencils."
We should speak in full sentance, then they can learn more quick and understand how to present by himself.

My son talks so long with his reason - use because during two and half.....
We talk an hour every morning and discuss what 's happened on the street, school, home, his pet. and teach him how to explain his feeling such as happy, sad, angry, excited, bored......
If they need something, give me 10 reasons first.
I think age 1 to age 7 kids should learn how to present and express themself in difference kinds of words........

As parents, we may read a picture dictationary and teach them full sentances in speaking.

I love to study US teaching methods, they build up their kids' languges first and then they write  passages to express their thinking easily.  

In HK, even a fresh grad. student cannot present well as a kids.  Teachers  always told their student "shut up", Be quite...." Dont move....."  Age 5-10 kdis are the activest and they are full of energy to explore everythings in the world.

So I will let my kids to lead me what they want to know and I try to find the answer in the liabary if I dont know.  Sometimes, we may borrow a chemistry, physics or history kids story books for them.  Let them find the answer by themself.   All extra knowledges he cannot find at school or home.  So I love to go to liabary most.  May be we missed a lot of  knowledges  in school.  
During Primary one, he studys all past tenses, future tenses and reading a long long stories but he isl no interest on them now.
I teach him 13 x 9 , he teach me 11111234 x 9. so funny and change my questions into harder.  Strange boy!

You dont belived that my son ask me what is the Gama radiation.....?
He borrows radiation books and sciences/energy books for study.  Bascially, we really dont know about them.  We have to study with him now.....  

He want to be an scientist so I search on internet web. Please sugguest some science websites for me!

In international school, all students can describ an ant hole by pictures and passages.  Writing a full story of mammals, wild animals or their imaging stories. Creating a lot of comics or cantoons for expressing thir feeling.  I wish my kids can follow this education and we dont need to dead-memory the history, chinese composition, dictation.....

This morning, we made some space shuttles, space engineers with some disposal tissue boxes, bottles, files, made-up containers and some plastics and alluminium papers.  It so funs and we can play together.  

I like Brain Quest :
e.g. 1.find the product of 3x3x3x3?  
2.Is the amount of liquid a container can hold called its capacity, its mass or its velocity?
3. There were 1200 ants in the anthill. An anteater ate 400 of them. How many are left?

You must buy these MATHS QUESTION CARDS for your kids.  It contains 1000 questions.

I like spelling games too, e.g:
plaple = apple
ananab = ?
phantele =?
anpleerao=?
ours=?
eetws=?
lef =?
incepress=?
ohp =?
ppahy=?
I have made 1000 spelling games for my son for dictation use.  It is useful than replete writing.

kids web learning

In 2008, most of kids are study on websites. no need to bring books, it is so bored on the task books.

Let's go to find more useful web sites for study and learning. Now all kids are study faster then before.  Quick learners and they go so fast.  The HK old sysliblas are not suitable for them.  Dont start from abc in primary. It should start writing strories and create formulars now...Designs new objects on computers......

We should throw away the old methods.  Be smart all the times.  Imaging 30 years later, we all are in space travel or living in a new centrys.

No more polluted air and highest gold / gas/oil  price.

brain quest is a very common one.
Amanda is 4 with no problem to finish the 5-6years old one.. we may have to get the 6-7years old next week from costco.. very cheap.
spelling game is good..also. we let Amanda to find the letters from puzzle.
hum.. if kids growth up in hk, they certainly should be fluent in Cantonese. English for them is just a second language.
so, I did not expect that Amanda can express herself in complete sentence in Cantonese. I don't wanna scare her and she will lose the interest in our mother tongue.
therefore, benlee may bring us some chinese material from hk when she comes over to NY next time.
Good to know that you are very well known with US educational material, you may even give me some hints to guide Amanda.

Dear NichoB,

Thanks for sharing.  

Firstly, I wish you could understand that I from start till end got no intention to show off how well my boy and we are.  I think I am just like one of you at early 30s got a lovely but headached little angel(s) and want to find some kindest friends who are willing to share the similar experience / nightmare here.

My boy could read simple single words and vocabs from picture dictionary by his own after I just had introduced once at 10 months.  One year old's conservation was in combination of couple full sentences.  I had taught him about the structure of eyes from an cyclopaedia (for secondary science students), he immediately learnt by himself how to control eyes' muscle to close and open his eyes.  I didn't know how scary he did because he is my only child.  But he at 13 months really did scare both HK government clinic's and our family doctors very much.  And now, is too long description from causes, progress, result and his own "comments" towards whole matter (but telling mom and dad only since he tends to only speak to the ones he loves).

I don't know how to well bring up the little one as the best and qualified mother as you all or know nothing about where I can go to seek for professional assistance.

I never doubt how good of each little life form since all lives are orginally the big big gift from God.  Not just human.  I don't think human lives we meaning more.  Why people or I need to query whether your son had asked about Gama radiation?  They are all the best to the mothers even though we respectively got different expectations and blessings to them.

I don't know where we can find science websites.  I have read one of your previous message about building space and robot university in HK.  With my own very limited knowledge and working position, I can try to give some advices as below.
1. If you do think it is forever impossible to build NASA in HK, why you think HK government will waste money on never valid industry development?  Not saying space matter, but just the highest technology such as aircraft design / manufacturing, and IC design...  Comparing with space and robot, those industries are much more down to the earth.  But we got nothing here in HK.  Do you know why?
2.  If you can send your children go to study in US, then it will be a chance for them to get into NASA, but never Mainland China.  Do you know who controls over whole space matter and development in Mainland?  Even the best people, they can never touch the surrounding if they couldn't have certain element.  In China, they must have something AND being the best.  It is never the dream for common people.  Very sorry to upset you but just want to tell the fact.

I personally think letting children to study freely what they find interesting is parents' job.  Why we need to care about whether our children can earn for living by those studies in future someday?  Why we cannot bring them up to be all rounded people with fruitful life?  Life is too short to expect or calculate too much.  If you find today is a happy day, you already got your bonus for living.  Trust your children and they will find their own best way to well go on.   If your boy someday becoming the best still insists to be astronaut, you can come to I and I perhaps can give him a pair wings if I am still alive.  

Thanks for your kindest suggestions for Brain Quest and spelling games, but my boy is too far away being that smart to play with those games now.  Perhaps someday.

Anyway, thanks so much for kindest advice and sharing again.  Nice to meet you.

Dear Benlee,
believe that.. if you really love your son, and you feel exhausted and hopeless.. that means.. you really care!
therefore, we have a small spot here.. for us to tell our stories and let us to learn from others.
I am glad that.. beside I read all other moms message.. watching how good they handle their child.. and some moms will also tell that they have the same problem as I am experiencing right now..(I was a child care worker before I become a nurse).. I bet, you can feel how hopeless and sad I am..and I even feel ashame of myself.. that I don't know how to help Amanda at all.. especially in a new country and an education system which I don't familiar with.
I don't believe that you are showing off here. You don't need to..
somehow, in our own position, we can not express our feeling freely.. people are rely on us. for me.. people are asking my advice for caring their family.. how I can tell them that I can't even handle my lil girl..?
there is something call能醫不自醫.
cheers.

Dear Nillie_Mami,

At the time I should well take care of my baby as a mother, I was in fact in battlefield instead.  I find I am a very terrible mom.  At the time I find all mothers well take care of their children by all means all the times, I find I am the worset.  It's never your fault to have limitation or sometimes don't know how to solve certain problems since you have already tried all your best to be the best mom and you always are.  But my problem is leaving my boy by side but working / taking care of the others.  I have ever blame why I need to keep working for 23 hours or even more everyday so long but why I cannot be a good mother or choose my own life.  

You don't need to be upset.  We are all human and got own limitation.  Try to think about the whole matter from different angles.  You are now in US, a well developed country with the most well developed education system, professionals and support to help parents and children in nearly all dimensions.  You are breathing in free fresh air everyday and basically not necessary to worry whether whole education system structure will be suddenly "upgraded" by any political move.  You are well educated and professional.  People coming over to seek for your kindest assistance but not you begging around for sympathy.  Your angels are gifted and you need to think about how to run faster than their crazy burning and rapid development in order to guide them way ahead.  Unlike the poor little ones being handicapped inborn, without parents or need to struggle against for physical survivals in generation by generation poorness immediately after born.  

I got terrible crazy life and couldn't go on the way I want to go.  I have realized those so-called liabilities when I was still very very young, fought and resisted once by turning my head over 6 years from my original world, kicked back the ball to my seniors used to be in battlefield already for decades years...  but then, got back and picked those all on my two shoulders.  Because I learning how to say thanks to what I can have and can choose but not to long for what I never can have, finally know we are the ones with luck and fortune.  But how about the others...

If I can help, I will but only for the ones worth of since I only have very limited time.  Just as you, you don't need to keep yourself all the times crazy busy for helping others.  It is not the issue of whether we are selfish, but to be fair for our children and family even you might ever concern your own position.

What's your problem for bringing up Amanda?  She and you both are doing so great!  NY...  If you need assistance to help Amanda's Chinese/ Mandarin or some other areas, I perhaps can help you reach / join certain Chinese associations in NY.  All those Chineses are the best scholars, scientists, professionals, professors and top students in many top US universities such as Princeton, MIT and Stanford.  Those societies are very difficult to get into be the one, but very closed to each others.  Some of them speak in Cantonese while some of course in Mandarin.  It is not my area but I can help you to have the contact if you need.  Wish you won't feel you were alone again.

Let me know what I can help.

Be happy and have a nice weekend with lots of smiles.
