Yah...took 1 day leave today to coach gal....some things she has forgotten...aiyoh!

Group tuition doesn't work for my P5 girl because she is slower in grasping concepts and by nature she is reserved (don't want to ask questions kind). Been to a few but quit when results are not improving. So sigh...got to pay more for one-to-one tutor. Mind map is not for everyone - some...

Yes..its stress related and apparently the doctors told her that this was not unusual near PSLE! So I think we need to strike a good balance because if a child is not used to coping with the increasing homework and pace, he will not be able to handle it. The child was hospitalised for one day...

Daisy/Elly...thanks for your good views. I do agree that academic scores are not everything. But to go into above average sec school, you need PSLE score of at least 235 which probably is the top 30% of the cohort. If your child is not academically inclined, I think we need to push a bit but...

Hi 1997 mums - Dont know about you all but I intend to step up on tuition during the year end hols so that we don't panic near PSLE! Next step is convincing daughter to "sacrifice" her holiday rest! Don't know whether it will work!

Thanks Kiki for your leads...been so busy so will look at it later....

For those interested in Myanmar maids, this is my advice. I have 2 so far (one currently). The first one was for 3 years and she wanted to go back. The current one has been with me for 5 years. One very crucial tip (that I got from someone whose wife is Myanmese). The honest and mild ones...

Thanks littleprincesses. Any leads as to the brands?

Hello. I am asking this question on behalf of my relative from KL. Is there such thing as a baby carrier that can be converted to a stroller (or vice versa) ? If yes, appreciate some leads on this. I am not a new mother...my girl is already 11 years old so I am very behind time and out of touch.

Yes, payment is monthly either 4 or 5 times a month. If you miss a lesson for whatever reason, you can take a "replacement" in other time slots within a month's time or even take in advance near to exam period. It is in an old HDB kind of building block - not classy, worn out type. Perhaps...

Daisy - your child is undergoing growth spurts! I do not think there is anything wrong but check with the doctor on your next visit. Maybe hereditary..Check your husband and your shoe size/height ? My daughter is 11 and is 1.30m weighs 23kg with tiny feet...so is completely opposite of yours...

Caroline3sg - sorry you got a bad encounter with the reception. They are quite popular so "service" is often forgotten ! For compo class, it is Ok to be in a big group because it is through this way that a child gets to hear different ideas and words from others. Remember that the teacher is...

Apparently Ms Joanne is an ex English teacher from Nanyang. Her classes are usually about 15 to 20 kids set in a classrm environment. The compo exercises are firstly discussed amongst the kids (phrases..story ideas) so it is not so boring and quite fun. They then write what they have...
