Hi fellow northlander parents!


I am sending my girl for belly dancing class at yishun on Friday late afternoons.

The teacher is charging $120 for 6 lessons.

Am hoping if we can find more girls to join us, it can be cheaper.

Parents who are keen do PM or comment k!

Thanks!

Hi there, welcome to the forum! It’s great that you’re considering enrolling your 5-year-old in an arithmetic class. I’ve had a similar experience with my child, and I’d be happy to share some insights.

Pros:

Early development of math skills: Arithmetic classes can help children build a strong foundation in math, making them more confident and prepared for school.
Problem-solving abilities: Learning arithmetic can improve logical thinking and problem-solving, which are valuable skills in all areas of life.
Boost in confidence: As your child masters new concepts, it can give them a sense of achievement and increase their self-esteem.
Fun and engaging: Many classes use games and activities to teach math, making it fun for young kids and helping them develop a positive attitude toward learning.
Cons:

Pressure to perform: Some children may feel stressed if the classes are too advanced for their age or if they feel pressure to keep up with peers.
Loss of interest: If the lessons aren’t engaging or fun, your child might lose interest in math or learning in general.
Less time for play: At this age, play is equally important for development. Make sure the class schedule doesn’t cut into playtime or cause burnout.
It’s a good idea to explore different programs to find one that matches your child’s learning style and keeps things enjoyable. You might also want to check if the class focuses on building a positive attitude toward math rather than just results.

Hope this helps!
