Back to Basic

We have notice that P's attention span is very short, ~5min nothing longer than that even with TV. Recently, i found a lot of P's drawing/coloring in her bag, and it reminded me how we have to make her draw straight line n circle as part of her therapy. Perhaps i m being KS ba, i m asking her to write ABC on paper with pen/pencil, but i realise she is not using enough strength to write. As she has an iTouch with a sensitive touchscreen panel, she can wriet quite well with that. When it comes to writing on paper, we are seeing problems, she can hold her pen well but nt writing or drawing with it.

With the advance in technology, the kids today might be lack in certain skill, eg. writing. New rules at home, P will nt be able to play with adults electronic as and when she want. She will need to ask for permission. No more angry bird in the car, one it is bad for eyes, two it is cruel to swing the bird. With the control usage of electronic, we have seen some differences. P has equipped herself with a notebook and pen, she will sit down n draw as n when she likes. Most importantly, i can see that her attention span has improve, ~15min, must more focus when we are doing art/craft work and we can even finish 1 short story (normally after 1 page, she will just walk away). I read somewhere that too much computer and iphone lead to behaviour/learning problem in class.
