:!:

You are pulling your son out just because he is experiencing separation anxiety after 6 days? My son took almost a month to overcome separation anxiety.

This is part and parcel of the whole process of putting your child in childcare centre. So far, I have not heard of any childcare centre in which a child does not experience separation anxiety.

Hi qms


Pardon me pls. Yup, I spoke to the Principal and she advised not to pull out that soon coz every child or most children will go thru such phase. Moreover she said that my son's behavior is considered alright as compared to other children

Probably I'm a SAHM that's why I dont mind my boy staying at home till he is 3 years old. Anyway since he is there now, shall monitor and see his development.

The idea of pulling out is because:
1) His napping routine change since he enters childcare. He doesnt sleep in the afternoon if he naps in centre.
2) He cries more often at home now and very sticky to daddy.
3) He doesnt wanna change his shirt when we are going out and he struggles a lot when we let him sit in carseat.

Hi KopiYing!

These symptons happen during the transition phase. Unless you don't plan to put your son in nursery or kindergarten in future, you, of course, have the right to pull him out now. It is only a matter of time when your son faces this situation - that daddy and mummy are not with him for a few hours in the day. As parents, we have to keep assuring our child that putting him or her in the childcare centre doesn't mean we don't love them anymore. Every child is different. Hence, you will need to adopt your own ways to send this message across.

We have been through this phase, too, so we understand how you feel. Like what the principal suggested, you may like to monitor for a while before making any decision. :rahrah:

Does he have any teacher that he likes in the centre? Or, is there any teacher of his level that you like?

Hi again


He only has 2 tchrs – form tchr & chinese tchr. Din show signs that he likes any of them.

Yes, we are encouraging him. Every morning I will kiss him goodbye and remind him to behave in school and when he’s back will also welcome him home and ask whether he enjoy his day in school. But of coz, no response from him…

At times I will also ask him 你要去学校吗？He din shook his head but say要！Then we also recite 儿歌 about 幼儿园 to him.

Hi Fion Loh!


Is your son in LV@Alpha already? How’s he?

[rainy5]

hi, am considering between kinderland yck and lv grassroot club for my 2.5yo girl. I would like to hear feedback from parents who have young kids in these two centres. thanks very much.

[Fion Loh]

hi qms,

he’ll only start school in Early march. How about your girl is LSH?? is everything okie?

[qms]

Hi Fion!


LSH painted the whole centre, hence the centre now has a newer look. Not so dated now. It also brought in some new cubby holes and toys. If you recall the former LV setup, there was a playhouse in the main area. The playhouse is still there.

The centre hasn’t commenced teaching yet, so cannot comment about the curriculum. Food-wise, my daughter doesn’t seem to like the food that much. I suppose it will take some time for her to get used to the new team, etc.

Do you know who will be your son’s teacher?

[Fion Loh]

I dont know who will be his form teacher yet … Is there any teachers from Lv go to LSH?
