Hi,
I Wanted
To Change The World
By Unknown Monk, 1100 A.D.
When I was a young man, I
wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to
change the world, so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn't
change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't
change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my
family.
Now, as an old man, I
realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly
I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could
have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have
made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed
the nation and I could indeed have changed the world. |
Best Regards,
Andrew Loh

Dealing with the "Finicky Eater" Child
By Dr. Jennifer Sowle
Q1:
My son, Thomas is aged 7.5 years. No problem at home but at
school has difficulty keeping quiet, wants to answer the
questions all the time, doesn't let others have a chance,
labeled through out school as disruptive. Attained top level
in local sat tests, excellent observational skills, memory
and have keen interest in nature. I don't think he is being
stretched enough at school and have approached them about
this. Need some advice about who we could see that may help us.
A: Find Dr. Sandhu's answer on
Under-challenged gifted child
Q2:
I noticed there was a post about Terra Nova testing. In
seventh grade; I was tested with the lengthy test, and I
still remember it. I was in special education and received more
time. So far; I am through the process for getting tested
for an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Since, I did have many
delays and language delays when younger. I still display
difficulties today.
Still yet, my point is; I scored a 96 national percentile on
Mathematics. Does this determine eligibility for being gifted?

Q3:
My daughter has entered 8th grade this September, she has been put
into a Reading/Writing Lab based on her Terra Nova test results
(score 682) from 7th grade, that this is an academic intervention.
Yet, she was an honor roll student 3 out of 4 semesters and her year
end average was 93%....should I been concerned? And can someone
please explain to me what is Terra Nova score actually means?
A: See Dr. Sandhu's answer on
The Terra Nova score
Q4:
My girl is 5.1 yrs old and she has been confirmed to be
gifted with the overall performance score at 135 (verbal -
135 and performance - 126). She is also confirmed to have
eye tracking problem. However, she doesn't like reading and
sometimes she cannot do simple calculation such as one digit
add one digit or one digit minus one digit. May I know
whether she is a disable gifted?

How does your child learn?
Journal Star Jan 13, 2005
if you are among the hundreds of parents who wonder what to do with
your distracted, disorganized, not-performing-to-potential,
rather-doodle-than-take-notes kid who day after day comes home with
a planner devoid of writing and "ouch" notes from teachers because
she once again has not turned in her homework - (which you know is
completed) ... perhaps what you have is a "unique learner"....

Science Journal: How nurture overrides kids' nature Post-Gazette.com
Jan 16, 2006
For almost as long as scientists have pondered how nature and
nurture shape personality, intelligence, health and other traits,
they've assumed that each contributes some percentage to the trait.
Maybe intelligence is 55 percent genes and 45 percent environment.
