ya nowadays definitely tougher and expectation higher. I do not want my kids to overachieve or to get top. In fact, the only goal I have in mind is that they are sufficiently prepared so that they can at least cope and yet have enough time to pursue non academic interest eg. violin for Samuel.
If I do not slowly help him to catch up and be comfortable now, he will always be trying to catch up and that will undermine his confidence. I want him to be confident and cope sufficiently well to move to the next level. So that he can learn at his pace and not last minute hug buddha leg
For some kids who are naturally smarter at study/reading or academic stuff, these can be done even later, but for Samuel, I think now I need to start to coach him liao else he is the one who will be in a mad rush and then be so overwhelmed that he thought he is no good.
