Esther, Since your girl is 7, she should be in P1. I suggest you flag this to the school counsellor and see if she can help.

I suggest something. Go to the pool that you would like to send your kids to learn swimming, spend 30 min and observe the swimming instructors giving lessons. You should be able to find one that you are comfortable with. I frequently spend time observing other instructor teaching swimming...

Tigress, If you live > 2km from NCPS, don't even try. They have not balloted beyond 1 km for Phase 2C over the last 6 years. I suppose at this point, parents make the decision as to which school to register their child, so the onus is really on the parents to decide whether they want to...

I gave my girl S$1.50 and then up it by 6% to S$1.60 due to inflation, and the fact that some food prices in the canteen has also risen by 10 cents. Anyway, my rules are clear, if I caught her buying soft drinks in school, she will be banned from bringing pocket money for a number of days...

My girl is in P2, and she is already started on composition - 120 words in length, actually. My take is this, cultivate a reading habit in your child as early as possible, this is almost a sure way to expand their vocab. I am still trying to do this myself, because her teacher said we should...

Hi Cecelia, My girl is in P2 NCPS. My hubby and I actually did some leg work and visited a few schools. In the end, we decided that if she didn't get into NCPS, we would consider Fernvale Primary, at Jalan Kayu. It is still a young school, I think it only has P6 students last year or...

Hi Yuki, If your are within 1km of the school, your chances will be higher, because balloting will first goes to those within the 1 km. For eg, if NCPS' Phase 2B has 40 vacancies, and 80 applied for it, and within the 80, only 50 is within the 1km, then balloting will only be for the 50 who...

Hi Yuki, HKHK for Nan Chiau will fall under phase 2B. But, if you monitor last year's phase 2B registration (and please also keep an eye on this year's phase 2B registration), you will noticed that since last year, demand exits supply even at phase 2B. Last year demanad exceeded by 20 - 30...

Ai ya...people, I am also mid 30, and am also considering taking piano for leisure. My thinking is this, it will keep me from getting dementia earlier because need to continue using right and left brain, and it is for the same reason that I let my kids take up piano lessons instead of mind gym...

Cracker, Try "My Little Cottage @ Rivervale", at blk 195, near riverview mall. My 4 year old is there, while my 6 year old has moved on to a before / after school since she is starting P1 next year. To me, this is a very good CCC, but it can be subjective to individual. Just to share...

Hi All, I have a friend who have been trying to conceive without success for more than 6 years. She was then recomended a TCM sinseh. After a year or two (and a minor surgery for her husband), they managed to conceive naturally, and she now has a child who is 2 years old. She has been...

Mine, 6 & 4, sleeps on their own in their own room. The 6 year old has been sleeping solo since she was born, the 4 year old, about 1 +. We have settled into a routine, brush teeth, toilet, milk, good night hugs and kiss, sleep.

StayWithMIL, Now is the best time to put your boy in the childcare (if he is of age). The excuse would be you xin(1) tong(4) her being so tired loh. I would definitely do that if I were you.

Aware, Share with you one incident. I am one of those active people and will go window-shopping, or whatever, but never always want to stay at home. My MIL, on the other hand is very much a stay at home person, so perhaps she expect the same from us. By the way, we don't stay in our...

Same, Aware, Tolerating the situation for your kids are not healthy. Your daughter(s) (if any) may become the same victim that you are because she takes after you example. Is moving out and staying on your own a viable solution? If so, just do it. Years back, I told my husband that I...
