Zuen,
Haha, ur gal smart. Still can request language.
Has her chinese improved? The speak at home do helps, now z is v fluent but still mix a few vocab in english.
You can call to ask cos K1 entry not much student. Might still have vacant. For Nursery, no slot. Get S to enter first so your boy will just follow. Then we can save on enrichment n time bringing them. I just noticed my boy enrichment class all china children. He is the only local.

zuen... yes, we were surprised when he wrote "shou, da, xiao" etc very basic chinese characters... seems like reading chinese story books to him helps. last I checked with principal, kindergarten still has vacancy in noon session.
fei, long time no see! how is charlotte? Isaiah doesn eat tutu, but his mei mei does. Am trying to wean the mei mei off at 2 year 2 months, very tough but trying!!

Roxy,
Can ask the principle can let my gal go in ma?
Hoping both can go into same session n same sch else next year I'm in trouble.
Zuen,
How? want to join me? The positive training kept making me wanting to throw zac there.
The chinese story book that they bring back weekly are too tough for them. Last week I can't read cos no hanyupinying. This week ask daddy to read, he read the book facking himself and I told him book have to face kids. So he reply so chim, how will kids understand? some words are wrong also...... Do u face this problem? My boy don like chinese story books cos he don understand. A bit of defeat the purpose and adverse result out.
Feifei,
How are you. Charlotte is #1 or #2?
Zac throw tutu away himself so auto wean at 18 mths. Happens I change it from pigeon to avent n he don like it. No 2 succeed when she turn 2. I cut the pacifier and gradually reduce the time. so she wean off after that. She also diaperless at 2 yrs old in the day time. The hardness is diaperless training during nap n nite time.

Connie,
We were in hkg last week. The tuesday that just passed, my nightmare came... Shauna refused to go to class!!!!
Haiz.. We were outside the class and she refused to be coaxed. Waste my $$. I will try again next tuesday.
I told my hb to bond with shauna over class. One lesson only and he complained boring and refused to go anymore. Lol.
Re: jck
I tried calling them but couldnt get thru. Will try again on Monday. So isaiah and zac are in the afternoon or morning session?
Feifei,
*Wave*, how's Charlotte? Got didi or meimei already?
Shauna never on pacifier. We tried to give but she doesn't want.

Zuen,
Does Shuana like music? Zac enjoying the class. Will sing at home too. Maybe she enjoy gg with u rather than ur hb.
Roxy,
U plan to start ur gal on the music wonderland? I will only start mine when she turn 3.5 yrs old. Now waste $$. She is not on any enrichment class at this moment. Not sure is it because she is sep bb thus find her not ready for any enrichment yet. Her refusal to talk in class n follow instruction really made me hestitate to send her anywhere. Just felt like dumping her to CC to learn.
U mean I can start calling now to ask for her priority and not wait till OCt?

connie, i think you can try calling now. Tell them that Zac got a confirmed place already.. as such, can they put your gal at top of waiting list and give her priority. This week they are on term break, but I think you can still call them.
Im thinking whether to stop isaiah from music wonderland, he enjoys the sessions alot, but very shiong on pocket. There's chinese enrichment (2 kids), english enrichment (1 now... to be 2 next year), swimming and thinking of signing up maths enrichment. Plus all the childcare, kindergarten and bus transport charges all add up to quite an hefty amount per mth!

connie, really ah? but i really do see improvement in I's chinese. I do not know is it JCK or his childcare or berries. But will still continue cause he is not exposed much to chinese at home. For english, heard good reviews abt ICL... so maybe let him try one term
Your friend gal maybe smart? but so far in kiasu parents, the JCK reviews all says JCK prepare the kids well for lower primary

<font color="aa00aa">HI Ladies, i'm back here. Have been a long long time since my last post here. I was looking for some piano lesson info so peek in here to take a look.
for mummy whom is aiming popular school, better check with the school for PV matter this year coz most school start accept PV registration when the kids is at 4 yrs old. Registration does not mean you'll get it. You'll have to wait for their call to confirm. But i heard that some school, if you keep calling them, they might put you on priority list for PV.
Btw, can i know if you kid can write well on number and alphabet? my girl still very bad in writing and even tracing also have problem.</font>

Connie,
I remain in e same class. Didn't see u and roxy in e class last week. We may be skipping this week. I have company event and S may not want to go with Daddy.
They opened new classes? I thought the different timings are for the next level of class.
I am more than happy that S wants to continue. I am just worried that I pay $$ liao, then she gives up! I asked her so many times before I finally made payment for the new term.

Good morning, ladies
. Hope this note finds all well. It has been a while since I dropped by.
Sounds like all of your kiddos are very advanced. Mine can only recognise a few alphabets and numbers ( s,m, l, o, k, t, g, 1, 2, 3). For a long time, i thought he is colour blind. Only recently he surprised me with knowing all the colours.
Felicia:like yujie, i am struggling to get him to write. even when he colours, it is horrid even with my very low standard.
he is super hyper. can i get some ideas how u get your children to sit down and write or how u taught the alphabets?
plus point is he enjoys reading alot(us reading to him) and loves books.
roxy: i am keen on the books if it is still available.let me know.

Mid Aug but might have complication again this round. Boy.
Bonjovi,
If he love books, don sound hyper. Their time span will start to improve over times. My boy love books too. To reduce my damage, I bring him to the library.

clim: i think its a habit for him because we read every night since he was 4 months old (unless we are away for holidays). even his teacher feedbacked that he has short attention span. we go to the library but i also purchase quite a fair amount of books for author he likes.
maybe, i will need to start to factor in writing time every night. Or force him to write/ colour even if he does not want to.
I worried about his not catching up yet struggles with not wanting to kill his interest in learning.

zuen and connie, ive reserved a slot for him under Mon class. But I am very reluctant to pay cause want to save $$ haha. Am sending him to a few lessons now. Was thinking can save some $$ by cutting yamaha.
bonjovi, i try to make it into a game with him. Eg, right now he just attended his first English lesson and he has to memorise 8 sight words per week eg its grandpa, grandma, father, mother now. What I do is I lay the flashcards on the floor and try to make it a game with him and his sis (still trying to teach her ABCs now) and whoever can get all 8 words correct will get a reward from me eg chocolate/sweet. He is very enthu and every night pester me to play because of the sweet cause I do not give him sweet normally. But its been only 2 nites so far, we'll see how far his enthu lasts haha. I borrow from library too. My no2 also very little attention scan, much lesser than no1. So getting abit worried on that.
