will hot water destroy some goodness from manuka honey? better not use metal spoon to scoop also..

MKS,
I make hot tea first, then minutes later put in honey.

You’re right, I’ve learnt to use ceramic spoon whenever I scoop honey into my drinks.

Zac’s mum It’s good habit u’ve trained yr family drinking just plain water. Unfortunately, I hv had my taste buds trained fr very young for sugary stuff. Spoilt by my dad as a daddy’s girl then. Hard time for me to switch. I go into low moods when I force myself to live only on plain water.

I am not looking forward to my son’s upper primary journey next year. Very sian...like nothing much to look forward to except more difficult academic work being piled on for the next 3 years...dunno why kids PSLE mamas all so burdened.[/quote]

Try to be more positive - kids pick up such feelings very easily, and starting off pessimistic is not going to make it easier. Look at it as stretching, growing, learning - focus on non-academic stuff too. Set targets based on where he is now, not where the top boys are. If we really feel that every child is different and every improvement celebrated, then we need to walk the talk.

No doubt PSLE is challenging but it will be over soon. Now ‘you’ study hard and soon ‘you’ get to enjoy.
Jia you

That’s really sweet that she treasures her remaining time. I recall my days post-PSLE were spent exchanging graduation diaries with my friends...we would write farewell messages to each other in those books, for memories keepsake...too bad my mum threw them away when we moved house :slapshead:

I am not looking forward to my son’s upper primary journey next year. Very sian...like nothing much to look forward to except more difficult academic work being piled on for the next 3 years...dunno why kids PSLE mamas all so burdened.

zac's mum, not sian de..next few yrs will be interesting.. at P3 &4 I read with dd, at P5 try to let lose, at P6 let kiddo try..we push abit then let go, then jaw dropped when see bad and good surprises, nag go study when they play too hard, nag go to sleep when find aiya cannot la, have enough sleep better at least can think during exam mah..then comes very near to psle, think cant do anything liao, better go praying soon find the zen stage...never mind la pray harder for meeting minimum.. yr side got affiliation mah... just enjoy the primary school stage plus be prepared for kiddo going for another stage of growing up, try use softer method to communicate with kiddo then, see them grow let them fall also ..even if failed like dh says fail in a safer environment better..psst..I cried few times already.. more to come now that going for another stage..
