Connie,
Shauna just told me yday that she's an English bcos she cannot rem Chinese. Faint.
I also went icr je assessment and wasn't impressed. Hehe.
Hb went for the meet parents session. Nothing that we do not know of. Mrs teo generally has good thing to say abt shauna, which I suppose is the case for most students.
I haven't explore CIM, only intending to sign her up later cos I tink it is pretty academic. I dun want to kill her interest now.
Yahama teaches maths?
I am also looking at the music wonderland by yamaha for shauna. I might sign her up soon.
Roxy,
U already signed up isaiah for the music class with yamaha? |

Connie,
No wor. Only my mum speaks mandarin to her. S' mandarin has an ang mo slang. Lol.
Oh, I m looking at wonderland music too. Maybe I will sign up for e tue class. Will let u know if I sign up. 
Yes, I was at the concert. Did u buy e cd? S is in the middle, the one who kept flipping her hair off the face. Lol.
Oh, I manage to speak with e principal yday when I sent s to school for her enrichment. She received my email lor but claimed that too busy to reply.
Cnl's syllabus quite standard leh, phonics starting in pre-nursery, nursery start to learn blending. K1 will start spelling, k2 will start ting sie and hanyu pingying. K2 will also learn to write in sentences and learn additions and subtractions.
Then again, some other more academically driven schools might do more tough spelling and ting sie, etc lah.
S should be staying put in cnl unless if I switch her to cc. How abt z? |

connie, berries is at the bt batok cc.. so far, some of my friends whose older children go there for primary school chinese enrichment find them not bad.. im hoping to improve their chinese cause really cannot make it!! like S, they speak chinese with an ang moh slang. Im making an effort to speak chinese to them at home but its tough cause my chinese is also CMI
Connie and Zuen, yeah loh, im not very impressed with ICR, save money and withdraw him better...hopefully ICL will be better. Yes, I signed Isaiah up for yamaha at frontier cc, near JP.. every tues 745.. want to go together? |

Mummies, you are so wonderful had the plan for your kids already.
Don't like me, dun know what should do for my boy. Everyday let him play and play.
Till now, he still can't hold the pen properly and dun know how to colour. Feel upset when sawing others kids can write and colouring at the same age. |

Piyo,
Kids process differently. Mine go sch but also can't hold pen / cayon properly. His teacher advise me to buy the thicker type so that they can have a better grip. They should not be using the normal thin pencil.
Roxy,
745? I better go check mine again. Going to buy books this few days.
Zuen,
I have a feel that my maid might not cont after 2013. If MIL still stay wif me then I cont to engage a maid n they go K1. If MIL decided to move to SIL place, then I will put both to CC.
Pre-nursery phonics? I doubt so. Mrs Teo only said she did let them expose to phonics sound but not in details as letting them pronounce. She said will be in it next year. They have spelling but I fadely remember I saw Bag, cat, bat as spelling. Not sure K1/K2.
No time table for them? Only plus n minus?? Oh
My boy chinese are better now although English are stronger. He switch between languages when talk to me. I usually speak mandarin to him.
Roxy,
You engage bus or drive them daily? Sound far for me. |

Roxy,
When I try to speak in Mandarin to S, she replies me in English. She only attempts to speak in Mandarin to my mum.
Piyo,
Jia you. Dun compare, only end up getting upset. There will always be somebody who is better. Maybe boys are slower? My no. 2 is already 14 months, still not walking or talking. Faint.
Connie,
I will laugh if any of my maids can finish their 2-year contract lor. I really hope to go maidless one day just that my mum cannot handle 2 kids now. Bcos hb and I worked long hours, the kids will have to stay full 12 hours in CC if we really decide to send them there. And we will still end up having to rush to put them there and pick them up so that we will be on time for work. They will probably end up being the earliest to reach the CC and latest to be picked up.
On top of that, I will have to handle them alone on weekends and PH bcos hb tends to work. And the housework after the kids sleep.
The tot itself is daunting enuff. I will probably have a maid until S goes into primary school.
Time table? Must learn time table in Kindergarten? I remember learning that only in P3 wor. Faint.
Like I say lor, the syllabus seem normal but I suppose the more aggreesive pre-schools do more difficult stuff.
Will let you all know if I sign up wonderland. I am lazy and havent move my butt to register S. |

Hi mummies,
Ask for help.
My boy still cannot sit down properly and concenrate study (at least 2 mins, he also dun want). Everytime asked him to read the book (we let him choose the book his like), he will keep on complaint eg: eye pain, tired, want to sleep and etc. Asked him question, he never think and straight tell you he dun know. He keep on looking around, the eye doesn't look at book at all.
Till now, he dun know how to hold pencil, dun know colouring (just colour all over the paper and draw a circle) and can't recognice alphabet.
What can I do?
How do build up his interest? |

Merry Christmas.
Roxy, Connie,
I signed up for Music Wonderful. See you all pm 3rd Jan. I have never met Connie before but I think S should recognise Z.
Piyo,
Your boy can read? Or you to read for him?
For Shauna, it will be dependent on her mood too. Sometimes, she also does exactly what you mentioned. Asked her to practice her alphabet, she decided that she wants to do something else when we barely start. I just tot that it is most important for them to be interested and enjoy what they are doing now. They are afterall just 3 yo.
Which month is your boy born in? |

Zuen,
Yeh, Then we can meet up. Mine is 8pm but Roxy said hers is 745pm.
Piyo,
AT this age, they learn thru play. My boy's peer can write and do homework on his own. He is in Ichiban kiddy and there's good n bad feedback on this sch. This sch is very focus on studies. At 3 yrs already have homework.
My boy still can't hold a pencil properly. Maybe u want to buy the thicker type so that he can have a better grip, This is wat his teacher told me to do. For reading, you just have to be patient. My friend told me to read a loud and even if he is running around, he will still be listening. So I just follow but now can see improvement. Don give him books with all words or little picture, they are not patient. Other than thomas books that he choose, the rest of the books that I bought have little words so they are more keen to listen. My initial mistake is fairy tales with no 1-2 pictures so now those books are kept in carboard for future. |

zuen, connie, then it should be 8pm. I probably got the timing wrong. Was going to call yamaha up tomorrow to check ... cya gals tomorrow!!
piyo, if you are really worried abt his concentration, you can ask GP to refer you to KK specialist. Last time when I brought isaiah for speech therapy, within the same place, they also have other therapies and when i checked with the parents, its for kids who cannot concentrate and the therapist teach the parents how to guide the kids to focus etc.
I think boys at their age don't concentrate... even when I show flashcards to my boy, he is still playing cars. But surprisingly he can recognise some of the words le.. so connie is correct... even if u think they are not paying attention, they actually are. Ive been letting them play with pens and pencil since 1.5 year old so both of them can hold quite ok.
He also not very interested in reading so i try to borrow cars books see picture only |

Roxy,
Its good that you start planning now. I will either do PV at west groove or register in the new Pri near Gek Poh. West groove CCA not good so many said is disadvantage. Think their standard also drop after the principle change.
If zac cough get serious today, will have to miss class. Hopes he get better, he slept for 15hrs from 330pm to this morning 630am. |

Ur no 2 was waiting for gorgor thru e 45 mins lesson?
Frontial is in my consideration. One part of me says thar neighbourhood schools are all abt e same, the other part says that I shld do homework, do PV + send S to the better one. LOL.
Connie,
Hb is abt 1.85m.
To think that S is a preemie and only 1.9kg at birth. There goes the hope of being petite. The male species always have a soft spot for petite girls. ;p |

Wow. Mine 2.86kg at birth but now v short lor. He was v noisy in class, wonder is he like that in CNL.
By the way, have to consider the cca in the pri sch too. CCA is imp for sec sch. whichever sch, the PSLE allocation is 100 for chinese n English, 50 for math n science. add up 300. So language now is imp. Heard west groove CCA sucks, pioneer are better than them. Ruland is gd but no chance. |

I am also wondering if I shld try west grove. I m just worried that they take in too many pvs and have to turn away, like wat they did for last year's intake.
I am thinking of xingnan too, just that hb hates the name of it. Lol. He has his eyes on frontier. He likes new school, new building. |

Zuen,
then u might want to try the new one at Gek Poh that will start 2013. Hope the teacher can concentrate more since it is new sch. and they will strive for higher score to build up reputation. Maybe I go ask PV in Jan 2013 when the sch start. Most likely they will have soft launch this yr as what frontier did. My plc sucks, west groove n the new pri under diff RC and my plc a road away is also under diff RC. My friend said can only do RC at own area. My RC and the 2 pri sch less than a km.
Not sure have i told you that Rulang took in many PRC. My friend area many from Rulang and according to her, they bring in PRC so that their chinese standard can maintain n PRC CCA very good. Now Rulang top are maj PRC.
Roxy,
My friend's son also in frontier. they don take in higher pri.
Me too, want to be tall but at least I'm the tallest gal at home. So my gal should be taller than me. Must push HB train them basketball. Jump jump jump. |

Frontier is too new to take in pv. No pv for jan 2013 intake too. So I am thinking of pv-ing at gw or xn. Secure a place until p2b 1st, then decide whether to fight for a place in frontier in p2c. I duno if my weak heart can take balloting. Hahaha.
I supposed the new school at gek poh will not take in pv so soon too. So can only apply under p2c. If cannot get in at p2c, will be distribute to whichever school in your vicinity with vacancy wor. Very risky. |

Ya lor. That is why must do proper planning. That is also why parents go crazy when their kids are due for p1 registration. I am also thinking about pv-ing at WG. Let's keep each other updated lah.
Ur no 2 is starting nursery next year? So age gap is 1 yo?
Roxy,
No restriction to how many schools but need 40hrs per school wor. We are working mummies, why to find so many hours to spare for pv? Unless there are big school events, otherwise, have to slowly accumulate the 40 hrs wor. |

My friend hb clock those long hrs eg camp etc. v fast 40hrs up. But again depend on sch, they take parents for granted. Called in last yr, confirmed Jan 2013 open for PV registration.
Yes, diff by 15 mths. Accident during BF. Who says BF won't get pregnant? Sabo by my gynae.
Roxy,
What fee to pay if have the slot? Just walk in to ballot? Might try and get both to take bus together. My friend told me approx 45mins bus journey n all kids enjoy that rid. Maybe I go ballot for both.
If ballot fail, don know will I cry or not. haha. My Gal still refuse to talk to teacher. Make me v Gang jong. |

Hello,
I am distressed mother of 3.5 years old boy. I am facing serious issue regarding my son's social behavior. He is quite talkative n active at home and comfortable with elders.
The moment he is in company of similar age group kids he just don't utter a single word and literally becomes dumb. He started a year ago with playgroup where he never interacted with other kids and never answered any of questions of teacher. Nor he participated in any kind of activity and just sits idle. He was never comfortable with other kids. Once came out of his school he is fine.
I thought he will be fine over the period of time and I need to be patient. With this hope I enrolled him in nursery in an international school. Shocked to see symptoms just continue.
Teachers try to encourage him to participate but with no results. Lately I got him enrolled in a dance class but for complete 1 hour he just stand in class watching other kids and not uttering a single word. On the contrary he is talkative at home and dances well.
Problem from my angle is he is just not comfortable with other kids.
Been advised that solution is socializing which I am trying hard but with no results. He is not ready to mingle with other kids. Otherwise he is intelligent, talkative at home, quite active.
Can some suggest me how to deal with this problem? Or is there any such school who deals specifically with such personality(socialization disorder)?
Any help or pointers will be of great help.
Will appreciate if anyone can suggest way to move forward.
Thanks |

aarti like wat leng leng has recommended, maybe can go to kkh to seek specialist help
connie, just have to pay $50 deposit if you get the place. If you don't get it, no need to pay anything. I don't think balloting is available for no1 le.. they have a waiting list... maybe no2 can get in and no1 can get priority? I know it works the other way round.. not sure this way works or not... |

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. |

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? :p
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. |

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,

Shauna never on pacifier. We tried to give but she doesn't want. |

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? |

zuen, so funny, my gal like ur boy so much.. keep wanting to play with didi.... and turns out that its your mother in law
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! |

Your friend gal maybe smart? but so far in kiasu parents, the JCK reviews all says JCK prepare the kids well for lower primary |

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. |

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.

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. |

I am thinking of signing shauna up for jelic, leading to mpm. Initially tot of cma (abacus), but read on forum that abacus concept different from how the school teaches maths and it is as good as not learning if the kid subsequently stops and forgot about the abacus rule.
There is a branch in pioneer mall. Anybody tried mpm or done research on maths enrichment?
Roxy,
I am trying to teach Shauna sight words top but not progressing leh. She is not remembering. I hope she will one day surprise me and read out those sight words that I am introducing. |

bonjovi both no1 n 2 are with berries 1 term now. And it's good I see Isaiah Chinese improving alot. He can converse to me in Chinese now n sometimes I hear him sing Chinese nursery rhymes which he tells me taught by berries. Simple sentences like 我的玩具车 he can read cause taught to him by berries. I tried ICR last dec wasn't very impressed by them n withdraw him. I'm with Icreativelearners now
Zuen yes n I haven't pay yet hee think no more slot le. I only try first week sight words teach him le I think I neglect Chinese. Being a parent is really not easy haiz what centre is dat? I Also thot sign up cma but have same concerns as u |
