Sure got wan kiasimom..


But i hope we aren't the ones
who kept asking whether they
drank water anot? :lol:

tamarind... at DD2's school you
can hear strings of questions in
one breath when they eventually
get the kid's attention.

1. Shee shee oredi anot?
2. Your teacher good anot?
3. Got do work?
4. Remember to wash hands hor..
5. Dun sit with notty children hor..
6. Remember arh, must be good boy..

I thought most kids would have gone to kindergarten or childcare center for 2 years or more, why are parents still so anxious ?

My girl was surprised to see me, because I told her at first that mommy may not be able to rush to see her. When she saw me, she told me to go home and leave her alone

Tamarind,

Its different.For my gal, the school compound is huge! It's a single session combined with primary and seconday. She has to walk to the classroom herself so I guess it can be overwhelming.

Parents are also anxious because they worry about acaedemic results? that's my guess..........

[MMM]

I think it’s the next milestones in their life that makes parents so anxious.


Personally, I think it’s an adjustment for them :
1) Moving from a class size of 20 (K2) to 30 (P1)?
2) Moving from an environment with less than 100 kids? to many times more
3) Moving to formal education where they now have to sit many tests and exams for years to come
4) Moving towards independence where they have to manage their own money and take the public transport by themselves?

For me, my P2 moving to P3 this year is like another milestone and adjustment. Eg. From PM to AM session and she has to get use to waking up early. Additional subject (science) and immediately she feels the workload increasing as compared to P2. Told her the honeymoon period is over…

Actually some kids are tall nowadays not sure is it due to milk. My P2 son is as tall as his P4 cousin and fatter. He is probably at least 1.4mtr now???? I always imagine that he would be the tallest in class BUT I was wrong. There were 2 other boys who were taller than him :!:

Due to his height, people expect him to be \"mature\" etc... but he is still a little boy at heart and moreover he is Quarter 3 baby. Also, one disadvantage is tall kids must sit at the last round otherwise they will be blocking the rest. Due to that, I also asked the teacher to ask him more questions so he don't start to dream in class.

I wish I know if the magic pill for growth is in the milk... What milk does he drink? You must have very tall genes too. I have met quite a few kids that look 2 years older than their actual age due to their height.

Yes I agree...the excitement exist because the school is many times larger and the cohort is about 5 times bigger! :lol:

[MMM]

Yes... that describes our situation. People don't believe that he is only P2 as he looks much bigger than that. He looks like a giant beside most of his friends except the other 2 who are slightly taller than him.


In our case, all my kids belong to the tall and heavy type..... all thanks to my mum's cooking despite that the last 2 are premature babies. I am 1.62M while hubby is around 1.75M so don't think we got tall genes since my parents and pils are shorter than us.

The kids take enfa series milk when they are young. It was only recently that we switch them to fresh milk for the 2 older kids. But they love to drink milk. Hubby is worried that dd 1 become too tall that she can't find a boyfriend. She is P3 currently, tallest and heaviest in class type. Concidentally her best friend is the smallest girl in class. So the girl stand up to her shoulder at most... Meanwhile for my K1, she was 1.8kg at birth but currently 90+ percentile but she only drinks soy milk due to lactose intolerance. Maybe my mum really has the \"magic recipe\" to blow them up like balloons...... :!: Pros and cons. Imagine going for a buffet and people will doubt if they are indeed below certain age.

Another year to have adjustment is from p4 to p5. wkload increased and might have banded into different class.

So do you plan to post his \"first day in school in 2010\" pictures here for us to admire his size? My same P2 is 2/3 of a long ruler shorter. :lol:
