lovinglife:sembgal:I never really go calculate how much. Last year my child in K1 had ballet, piano, Chinese speech and drama, phonics, art, Tien Hsia enrichment and Mindstretcher enrichment. These are external enrichment though her school has computer lesson enrichment incorporated. My child likes to attend enrichment and honestly I think it's a bit too much for a K1 child. Nevertheless, if we are going out for a trip to the zoo or beach, we just give the class a miss that week. This year in K2, she still has ballet, piano, art and Tien Hsia enrichment. The rest of the enrichment discontinued at her request. However, I added Hanyu Pinyin class and Mental Arithmetic class for her. In addition, I personally coach my child in all her subjects, English, Math, Chinese and Phonics, not forgetting revising other enrichment homework with her. Thinking of adding swimming and Just Education as my child asked for it. Weird right? My child wants so much enrichment. If she enjoys, I let her go for those enrichment. Come Primary 1, it will be less enrichment for sure.Hi, just curious how you managed your timeslot for every enrichment/programme? I am very similar as you, full of classes :oops: and I had to drop one of the private coaching session in order to have time for other enrichment's revision and homework. Hi, for weekdays - 1 enrichment a day, sometimes 2, depends on whether she wants to go, all enrichment classes are decided by her. Schedule is worked out in such a way that she has 2 off rest days per weekdays schedule.Last year schedule for Weekends- 2 enrichment classes a day, one in morning, one in afternoon.This year, cut down to 1 weekend academic enrichment a day.Reason: She gets time to attend baking classes on weekends at Brillionaire Kids or Genius R Us. Personally, the service and staff at Brillionaire Kids are better than Genius R Us. BrillionairKids a little pricier.My focus is on her penmanship and P1 academic work preparation.If we need to go out on weekends, will skip class.Guiding her in academic work will be done in shorter duration on weekday nights and extended duration on weekends. She gets to have nap before she goes for any weekday enrichment class. This is to ensure she's not sleepy but alert after her kindy class.One point to add: I realised that tuition centres usually copy from assessment books for their worksheets. If you have time to teach your child, go Popular get some assessment books. It's the same. Most importantly, I let my child attend group tuition is to gauge she can sit through in class just like primary students. My child gets to socialise with other children too. But if your child is unsble to sit still and weak academically, better work with your child one to one at home to build up the foundation.
