She also entertains baby alot.

Happy to know that you share some similar sentiments, IJJ. Yup, like your younger ones, my dd2 and dd3 are inseparable, now that they started attending Kindy together.

I have been contemplating going back to school as Flexi-adjunct once dd3 settles into her Playgroup routine. So far, she is adjusting well but I, myself, end up making use of that time doing 'research work' for my girls. Time passed quickly and then they are all back home. My timetables at home run back-to-back like racing in a triathlon.

When my son is in school, I found myself doing 'research work' too. By the time I am done, it's almost time for them to return home. Usually mornings, I mark the work he has done the night b4. Then prepare what I will do with my younger one.

Thanks Janet, so nice of you to consider my welfare. Yup, I am now busy compiling theory notes for each individual question for my dd's theory exam. ..

I am impressed, you are a great mom! :celebrate:
I cannot stand staying with children whole day, i eagerly go to work in order to run away from them. my sat & sunday are the most troublesome times.

Have fun parenting. It's a privilege not everyone is entitled to.

(1) Focus on quality learning. It's getting them to complete the assigned tasks on time that is tricky. -> Will keep this valuable advice in mind. And encourage dd to complete assigned task, even if its 10%, I will commend her for her efforts and slowly I think she may be more efficient and self driven to complete more each time, hopefully 10% to 20% to 30%... 100%.

(2) For EL compositions, I used to let her do one every alternate days (on weekdays only) one month before SA1 and SA2. The other alternate days will be for CL compo. She reads a lot of upper primary model compositions and has taken a liking to certain styles. -> Very gd advice. But my dd's stamina is not that good. Last year, I tried to get her to write at least 1 compo (either CL or Eng) a week and if she did it, I was over the moon already!
But I will strive to do it interactively with her so that she can learn more interesting approaches to writing. So I will aim to entice her to write 1 CL and 1 EN compo each week if poss and place her compo on my noticeboard (currently my notice board is filled with her sis and her cards and loving notes to me)

E3, THANKS for your sharing! I always benefit fr yr advices! :lol:

I try to 'escape' from my kids at night...by taking a longer than usual time to hang the wet laundry on bamboo. Need a break from them bcos the noise can be rather stressful after school all the way till nights...yes, weekends are no better.
