Bear,
emma's routine is almost like Z only 2 hrs later. We will reach home from my mum's between 8 to 8.30pm. She will like to roll around in her cot and listen to her mobile while we settle megan. at abt 9am, we give her her bath than it's reading and prayer time with megan and daddy while i make milk. after that will feed her and she is usually out by 9.45pm latest. depending on her milk intake, if she drinks 210-240ml, she will sleep till 7pm, if she only drinks 180ml, than she will wake up to drink 90ml at abt 4am and go back to sleep. the 4am feed is like a 10 min job cos' i prepare evrything in advance just add hot water and she will guzzel the milk down in 10 mins with her eyes still close. burp her than put her back in cot. She has been on this routine since one month old. we cannot wind her down earlier cos' my ah lau always late so we have to factor that in so that he can spend some time with meg and emma before they sleep.
Dymples,
wah... alot of enrichment classes leh. To improve english, get her to read books. books like secret seven, famous five etc shld help cos' she will be expose to alot of words that can help her compo. after she reads the bpook, get her to write a short summary of 60 words abt the book. this will help you know if she understands what she reads. also for comprehension, nowadays the answers to the question asked are not direct answers that can be pulled out from the comprehension. The child must read and understand what the passage and answers are how she interpret it. All very chim now. BTW, do you want other school exam papers that you can let your daughter try? If you want, I can email to you. Hang in there. 要慢慢教.
