[sun2flower]

hi ladies,

wanna check something..

if going by caeserian, is it cannot take ginger and sesame oil during confinement?

if can take, is there a period after operation then can consume? Does this apply to natural?

Thanks for advice

 

[okipoki]

Sunflower,

U are going for csect? U try your luck if MTDT saw this cos I rem her kids are via csect.

 

[sun2flower]

okipoki,

I've not decided yet but I guess high tendency to csect.. first one was emer-csect. Seeing doc this Friday, will discuss with her and finalise haha my doc also like 'huh, you've not decided' heehee

ya, mtdt usually very active le..

 

[okipoki]

sunflower,

Given a choice why not opt for natural?

 

[sun2flower]

okipoki,

true... but on the other hand, what if same as #1, long labour in the end also got to go e-csect.

 

[sun2flower]

[okipoki]

Sunflower,

Congrats to you !! Have a good rest

 

[poohy]

toto,

to teach chinese yourself, get 四五快读 from either dangdang (cheaper) or in local bulk purchase or yu yi bookshop at bras basah

My kids are not in berries too and I also teach them myself. We started not too long ago and they are both at volume 2 now. They can read simple chinese story books.

 

[mtdt]

wow.. din noe the thread is active again

huh? i organise dang dang spree? cannot lah. think this spress is MASSIVE! join spree easier

toto - welcome back

settle all the things already? yes, i also got the 四五快读 from dangdang. using this set to teach Zav.

poohy - vol 2 liao huh? Zav only in Chapter 5.. waahhaa but we are really going slow... must see little zayden mood at times.

CONGRATS TO SUNFLOWER!

 

[poohy]

mt,

me too... I was moving very slowly too in Book 1. As I had wanted them to remember every single word before I move. And everyday we revised through all the words taught so far.

But later on, I felt that maybe its not that important to remember every single word very hard before moving on. Reason being, the words are repeatedly used in the sentences later on, so they will get revision when they read. But generally they remember all the words.

Their school taught them quite well in terms of chinese reading vocab so they already know many of the words. But I really like the series, it teaches words that allow them to read a full sentence.

We generally do 1 lesson/chapter a week. I go through with them on the car 3-4 times each week.

 

[mtdt]

poohy - haha ya ya. same.

this set is just like "peter and jane" chinese version.

the new words get repeated and repeated later. gd for the kids

i only do it at nite.. so if little zayden needs my attention tat nite, we wont do much but just play ard

 

[sun2flower]
