Any parents here ever felt pressurized by others?

Lock:

I struggled with the pressure for her to do well academically and pressure from my own set of belief in what education should be. Finally, after numerous struggles and tensions (with my dd), I try to strike a balance between preparing my dd n ds for the exams and getting them to enjoy learning. My view is that a little competition and push is fine, as long as the kids still have the joy in learning. However, we should stop pushing once kids show signs of hating to learn, cos that will not do them any good in the long run.

I run my own syllabus at home too, independent of my dd's P2 school syllabus. The next best thing to homeschooling her entirely

I also belong to the normal doing category too & my kids are in a elite pre-school currently. Sometime I do explain to my kids there are many rich people in her school etc & they have to learn to be contented. [quote=\"daisyt\"]

I belongs to that normal doing category and my child was in this school with many rich families. This thought never come to my mind when I decided to put her there. Neither did I realised got such thing until when she was about P3. I overheard two kids comparing what type of cars their fathers had. Actually, everything was fine. A little comparasion here and there are unavoidable, just have to explain and make them understand, every family is different.

Toking about comparing... i heard from a fren that in a popular all-girl school in a rich area -- apparently the primary school girls actually compare which hospital they were born in -- and if it is Raffles Hospital -- it is high class - and if it is KK - then - no class....

When i heard it, i was like -- err... my boys all KK kids leh!! Haha -- dont care lah -- but still kids been kids -- i think they might be 'hurt' -- but then hopefully boys dont compare such things!

In any case, will teach my kids how to retort back if he actually meet such situation. Hopefully he doesnt though.....[/quote]Aiyo, they even compare hospital???? :shock:

Mine are all KKH kids leh. Hope my kiddos dun feel ashamed, otherwise I muz have impart the wrong values to them.

I think this is apparent when kids bring their health booklets to school. My kids will come back saying x number is from KK, x number from this hospital and that hospital. Maybe not thinking along high class or low class but rather just curious. Especially when their health booklet is not so common in their class.

If liddat, then those kids born in Raffles Hospital win already lor. Raffles Hospital ==> Raffles Institution ==> Raffles JC ==> Medical doctor.
