Another example of Sinkie Women

[MarrickG]

SINGAPORE - A woman wants to divorce her husband after her son's grades started slipping, reported the Lianhe Wanbao.

The couple's son is enrolled in an elite secondary school and has always done well enough to be among the top ten in his class.

But she got worried after her son's grades began to show a slight dip. Believing her son could be depressed, she brought him to see psychiatrist Dr Hong from the Adam Road Medical Centre.

According to Dr Hong, the woman also felt that her husband is a "negative influence" on their son, and wanted to divorce her husband.

The woman was very unhappy that her husband often brought their son for outings and she believed that this was affecting her son's studies.

She even requested that Dr Hong write a letter stating that her husband was a "negative influence" on her son, so that she could divorce him.

Dr Hong refused, as he believed that the woman's husband was bringing their son out to help him relieve stress from the exams.

He told the mother that she should change the way she was perceiving the situation, but she did not accept his suggestion.

Dr Hong says parents who are excessively concerned about their children's studies are often unhappy with some aspect of their own lives, so they choose to put all their attention on their children instead.

They are gratified when their children do well in school, according to Dr Hong.

"Such parents need counselling to help them feel more secure about themselves and help them understand that they should maintain reasonable expectations toward their children," said Dr Hong.

He has found that Singaporean parents are getting increasingly worried about their children's studies.

Parents suffer from exam stress too

According to Dr Hong, five to ten students come to the medical centre for help on coping with study stress every month.

The number doubles during the exam period.

Besides students, parents also suffer from exam stress, said Dr Hong.

Such parents exhibit symptoms such as increased tension, nervousness, agitation and accelerated speech.

According to Dr Hong, the woman also felt that her husband is a "negative influence" on their son, and wanted to divorce her husband.

so does it mean the report is suggesting that Dr Hong has diagnose her husband is a "negative influence" on the son?
or is there a typo error?
