    ChildSocial. is a safe, engaging social platform created especially for children. We believe learning should be more than studying—it should be about discovering new ideas, expressing yourself, making friends, and learning from children around the world. childsocial ChildSocial gives kids a place where they can learn, play, create, communicate, and connect in a safe and supportive environment. Children can explore educational activities, participate in fun challenges, share their knowledge and thoughts, and discover different cultures, interests, and perspectives from other children across countries. Our goal is to bring together learning and meaningful social interaction, helping children build confidence, curiosity, creativity, communication skills, and a broader understanding of the world around them.

    Bumping this up, as the people around me seem to be talking about friendships lately! My husband has been thinking about the friends in his life — the close friends that he barely sees, the groups that he’s in where no one’s keen to meet up. Another gf was saying she would probably use Bumble BFF to make some new activity friends. She’s tried it before: https://bumble.com/en/the-buzz/what-exactly-is-bumble-bff How often do you meet your friends? I have friends that I see monthly or even twice a month. Sometimes a new shared interest (like pickleball or taking classes together) means that we meet more often. Otherwise maybe once in 2-3 months is more of the norm? One positive trend that I’ve noticed in the last 1-2 years: people say yes/no to meet-ups very quickly now! Sometimes a date/time is fixed within minutes, unlike say 10 years ago where we all wanted to do was laze at home and binge videos or doomscroll

    [image: IMG_6787.jpg] Great to hear from others, and sharing an infographic that I saw on Insta. I haven’t talked to my kids about dating, but they do know what’s happening with my friends. My husband is Catholic, my kids were raised Catholic, and I’m a free thinker/agnostic, so you could say I’m much more liberal! I hear plenty of stories from men and women friends; some in 20s are not dating or in non-defined relationships, some in their 30s are grappling with their own issues (like self-confidence, not being sure of whether to move forward, mismatch between the ones they are really physically attracted to vs the ones who respond). Some in 40s onwards have seemed to find partners easily; they move from one relationship to the next. Or they might reconnect with now-divorced friends, and something happens there. Others have a poor experience and usually take long breaks from the apps. I love to ask questions and seldom give my take, unless explicitly asked! The only thing I would say that my kids can take from me is my comfort with mixed-gender friendships. If you don’t really have that, I think it’s hard to cross into dating. My brother is a 40-something millennial, doesn’t talk about dating at all, and seems happily single. My husband and I would both say that physical attraction is essential and the first filter haha. I think that’s why people are comfortable being very honest with me about their dating stories, because they know I won’t think of them as shallow

    Sorry this happened to your family. It sounds very stressful. A few practical points that may help others reading: Standard maid insurance covers the helper’s medical bills, personal accident and repatriation. It does not pay legal fees for an employer, and it does not refund agency fees. So the agency contract matters most. Before signing, ask to see in writing what refund or replacement applies if the helper leaves early or a case is raised. If an agency refuses a refund and cannot show the clause, you can ask CASE to help with mediation. Keep a written record of dates, messages and what each party said.

    Hi everyone, I’m conducting a short 3–4 minute research survey to understand what parents of children aged 5–10 value when choosing sports programs.

    https://www.eventbrite.sg/e/alice-in-tan-boon-land-escape-game-tickets-1532338789569 Tried the Alice in Tan Boon Land escape game with friends over the weekend, on Halloween, and it was really fun! It’s inspired by the series Alice in Borderland, and it’s an outdoor escape game that takes place at Tan Boon Liat. You don’t need to download an app to play; a link will be given to you, with a code that you enter to start the game. It’s 15.90 per person unless you book a much larger group. If you’re adding people to the group with separate ticket purchases, write to let them know, and they’ll let you play the same game. You get 1.5hours to solve puzzles, but frankly we took a lot longer! We started at 8PM and finished off closer to 11, also because we weren’t racing against time. The building was very well lit and there were security guards at the guardhouse plus staffers milling about, but it did get slightly creepy towards the later part of the night. Fun creepy though! The game is self-guided but you can get help over WhatsApp if you have issues starting the game etc. Very quick response, so it was overall a very positive experience!

    I am a parent whose child was struggling with Chinese. Previously her result was really bad, failing the subject. 2 years ago, I engaged her to teach my child, also thanks to recommendations from other ksp forummers. Teacher Jenny is an experienced, and dedicated Chinese tutor (also a former teacher) who is able to cultivate my daughter’s interest in the subject. Coupled with her lesson plan and answering techniques for exams, really glad that my daughter is able to turn around her grades over the past 2 years, and now has the confidence and interest in the subject. She also did very well for her p5 year end exams.[image: pic.jpg] I benefitted from the introduction made by the other community members here, so just paying forward in case any of you are interested in engaging a Chinese tutor for your child can contact her at 81 863972

    @kiasuparent123456 On this point: Five of the 12 have no HDB flat within 1km at all: both ACS schools, Methodist Girls’, Raffles Girls’ and Singapore Chinese Girls’. Under the old rule, the closest Phase 2C band at those schools could only ever be filled by private homes. I have personal experiences with two of the schools mentioned above. Diversity would likely come from the alumni population, rather than Phase 2C. As I have not considered moving into private housing to get closer to certain schools, will let others share thoughts on that.

    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

    @Jansen_Seah Hi, yes i previously engaged Tutor Frankie as my girl was having difficulty with science. Previously i sent her to tuition centers, but after a few tries at different centers, realized that she does better in a one to one environment as he gets distracted easily when she was younger, and probably perform better in a one to one environment. Tutor Frankie is a dedicated tutor with many years of experience. He is very methodological, and created a study plan for my girl based on her weakness (Open ended questions if i recall). He taught her for about 3 years, and was glad that she ended with a AL1 at PSLE. You can try contacting him at 8139 3075 to find out more. Hope this helps

    Hi parents! With results out and Sec 3 subject choices coming up, I thought I’d share a quick comparison of E-Math and A-Math. I’m an experienced graduate Math Tutor with over 6+ years of E-Math, A-Math and IP Math, so hopefully this helps anyone! E-Math is the compulsory maths subject in Sec 3 and 4 which all students take. It carries on from the maths they have been doing in Sec 1 and 2, with a focus on more practical, real-world applications. A-Math is an additional, optional subject. It is generally considered harder as it focuses on more abstract math, for example a lot more algebra and calculus. In order to see if A-Math is suitable, I’d start with your child’s Sec 2 Math results. Are they coping well? If they’re confident in their Math ability, or they enjoy maths, I’d suggest giving A-Math a go! But if they’re struggling, especially with algebra, although it doesn’t rule A-Math out, it might be worth having a real talk with them about their study plan leading up to Sec 3. I have had many students who just barely made the cut off for A-Math for their school in Sec 2, but were willing to put in the effort needed. And their O Level end results speak for themselves! But they must be ready to put in the effort. The holidays are a good time to brush up on Sec 2 algebra! Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions here or whatsapp me at 8991 5911 Read the more detailed guide (including how A-Maths can affect post-secondary paths) at veritylearner.com/guides

    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.
