Hi Janet_ lee88,

Me looking forward to next week, but will miss the late mornings for sure

What I'll miss is waking up later...but 6 hours of peace with both in school is relaxing.
The first 6 months has been very stressful...so this June holiday is really chill-out time.

hi all,

can i join the club?
im quite new sahm since feb this yr.
i have a K1 boy and expecting #2 end of aug also boy.

nw feeling guilty towards #1 cos always tired since im preggy and hence no energy to play with him. even if i do bring him out, i gotta sit down most times and let him play by himself. i feel sorry for him and told him so. but he is so sweet, tells me itz ok, he can play alone.

the bond we built with our kids is immeasurable, even tho i do have my
hair tearing moments.

hope to learn mre frm u guys!

I also felt like you.I push me more active for him.He is a plesant boy.He did coloring when I lay on the bed,he asked me what color for the ear,nose,etc.I didn’t get frustrated but I felt guilty I couldn’t help him properly.

If you like your child to be more interested in puzzles, here are a few suggestions

Since she has not started with puzzles yet, start with those that has a few pieces.

I usually buy puzzles with beautiful pictures that my kids are interested in, eg princess theme for DD1, vehicles theme for DS.

For DD1, I started introducing puzzles to her when she's about 3/4 and I bought her those that have very few pieces, like 5 or so and build it from there. DS started at 3+ and also with 5 pieces. Now both are rather good at puzzles.

Sometimes, kids don't play with the toy because they don't know how to play with it. Or the toy does not look pleasing to them.

Toys are supposed to be fun, so don't stress out too much.

As for building blocks, my DD1 started to get interested in them when her bro started on them.I also try to get interesting themes to interest them.

Thanks STHM_TAN!,I started with 3-5 pieces of puzzles.She can do.My son very fast.Compare with him she is bit slow.I think I have to spend more time with her.Now she can do up to 12 pieces (fruits).My son did 42 pieces of dora picture in playgroup.She feel very difficult to do that.I told her to do the edge first and match the color with the boarder. she doesn’t has more concentration and interest.
