    Hi hi I just joined as a member. When I was a child my mother used this site a lot and it helped me during my PSLE preparation. We often asked for help. Now I am a medical student doing internship . I would like to give online tuition for chemistry at a reasonable rate if anybody is interested. I can start from the basics if chemistry is difficult for them to understand. Do reply or contact me if anybody needs help. Thank you

    For me, the bowel preparation was more uncomfortable than the colonoscopy itself because I had to take the prescribed laxative and make frequent trips to the toilet. I had mine with Dr Kieron Lim, a Recommended colonoscopy specialist in Mount Elizabeth. My advice is to follow the preparation instructions closely and stay near a toilet.

    My 2 kids aren’t dating yet. I have friends who are single (ranging from 20+ to over 40) so I do hear a lot of stories! Wondering how you’ve supported your kids through dating issues, like poor experiences on apps, no physical attraction/no spark and not sure if one should move on, being ghosted, talking stage lasting forever, boundaries, etc? Just curious

    Here at KiasuParents, we've actually interviewed Stephanie before, years ago! She's a mother of two, and in the article she talks about how we as parents can make a difference: At a glance · From the archives (2017) Raising kids who care Her advice: just start. Stephanie Chok tells parents not to wait for the perfect moment. Find a cause that resonates, then connect with civil society groups through social media or events to get involved practically. Mother of two. At the time, Chok was raising two young sons and spoke about having age-appropriate conversations with them about the world, with plans to involve them in causes as they grew older. On feeling disheartened. Chok acknowledges the risk of burnout when tackling systemic problems, and shares her personal motto: "Do what you can, whenever you can. With thoughtfulness." In her own words. She quotes Nelson Henderson: "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you will not rest." Source: KiasuParents →

    For those who are still into heavier music + gigs (eg hardcore), we actually have a fairly interesting scene going on! Went for a gig over the weekend and it was pretty wild, by SG standards! Would do it again for sure! This is one underground organiser to check out: https://www.instagram.com/gidwreckunit/

    I’ve many parents reaching to me about access arrangements of their kids: exempted for certain section of subject, having reader/scribe/extra time, different formats of papers etc. Along the way, we made multiple discoveries on how to do this more efficiently and effectively. For PSLE 2027, we are now 17 weeks away to the cut off for AA application. For parents with younger students, it’s important to test out the AA arrangements as early as P3. PM me now if you need any support and advice. Refer to this guide (hopefully it’s useful as a starting point) https://www.strugglesmart.sg/blog-posts/exam-access-arrangements-singapore-guide Strugglesmart.sg Educated in Special Needs/Parent of one #accessarrangement #aa #dyslexiaawareness #adhd #autism #sensoryprocessing #sensoryprocessingawareness

    To give an idea of JC and Poly COPs in 2026: [image: 1792029524688-untitled-design-2.png] I think the “why” behind doing anything is really important. So in terms of grades, teens in secondary school need to know what they’re working towards: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/article/monitor-grades-secondary-school Of course, not everyone is ready to think about their future pathways! For parents of teens, how are you having these conversations about grades and goals with them?

    Kiasu Parent Checklist ️ Tuition? Already enrolled. ️ Swimming? Of course. ️ Coding? Why not. Violin? The funny thing is… violin is one of the few activities that trains: Focus & discipline Listening skills Confidence performing in front of others Patience & perseverance Creativity And unlike many enrichment classes, your child can actually create beautiful music that the whole family can enjoy. My lessons are designed to be: Fun and encouraging for beginners Structured so children build strong foundations Suitable for young learners who are trying violin for the first time Because being “kiasu” isn’t just about filling up the schedule… It’s about giving your child experiences that will stay with them for life. ️ Home studio in Bedok/ Music school in Novena and Parkway Email me at [email protected] to find out more and arrange for a trial lesson

    Hi parents, I am new to Choa Chu Kang area and i recently got a flyer about a new student care opening at choa chu kang centre. I checked out their website: www.kindlecove.com and it seems like a cosy centre with small class size (which is important to me). Any parent is keen to go see their open house as the centre manager told me that they have group sign up discounts.

    @thebottomsupblog thank you! Haven’t been to Pip’s Playbox before - indoor and air-conditioned definitely beats hunting for shade on afternoons like these. Will bring the kids down to try it, appreciate the tip!
