All About GEP

My p5 has been drinking peanut soup since young wat. hahaha. I christened it the "grow bones" soup. He's only 1.2m. Hahhahah. The short genes v hard to grow out of in our family.

Dunno ... my son, for one, never gets into the top academic ranks. At the same time, he has no problems doing fairly well in IQ tests ... altho' not well enough to get into GEP though. hahah! The English must've surely stumped him.
Most probably on the General Abilities. A lot of children fail at that... English and Math can be trained... but not General Ability
No, he always scores v high in all those abstract & general ability tests. Last year he also did some as part of DSA, and for one of them, we had the results. He did best in Math & GA, poorest in Eng. There were no other sections for the tests.

Strange, why would he do poorest for Eng? My kids seem to find Eng easier than the Maths part. Do you speak Eng at home? Or could it be the school they attend?

Yes, we speak English at home. And they attend a SAP/GEP pri school (or used to).
But somehow my elder boy is poor in language. Poor as in comparison to his Math & Science lah. I don't find that surprising. Just that he is better at doing subjects that require less linguistic expression? HAHAHA!!! My younger boy is never good at IQ tests of any sort and is good only in Math & Chinese. Even Science is too much of "language" to him - the English kind ... and no, we don't even speak chinese at home(at least not when the elder 3 were young), so I don't know where he got his love of Chinese from.phankao wrote:Yes, we speak English at home.

Yep, sometimes things are just so strange, don't you think?

I have a friend who is 1.73m, his son 1.84m. Don't think it has all to do with the food, this boy sleeps very early every night, and eats very little. He is still growing. His mum is about 1.6m.
To grow tall, 3 elements (from my years of research - which may mean nothing):
1. Sleep
2. Exercise
3. Diet.
I fulfill all those... Ha.. Ha.. Ha...
