All About Preparing For Primary One

[Kissgurami]

Money - Yet to teach DD1 how to calculate the change but have been getting her to buy her own food from the coffeeshops (I stand a distance and watch)


Feeding - DD1 has been feeding herself since 4 years. Slowly teach not to spill the food etc. taught her on using a knife and fork. She's trying to learn how to use chop sticks but gave up LOL coz it was tiring. She gets fed when she goes to her great granny place, which I am not bothered as long she feeds herself at home and when we are out

Dressing up and changing out - Independant since she's in CC and home also, she has to learn, Only 1 mummy , can't help all the time

My ds very lazy..


Now, I am also forcing him to eat on his own.. without Ah Ma feeding him.. too pampered..

I told him nobody will be there to feed him when he goes P1 next year.. then he will starve till he is home.. :mad:

It is normal for most of the kids when they are in the granny house, even my child is also the same problem. The best thing, he can even lost his coin bag in school and starve himself for half a day.

So we must also ensure not to give too much pocket money for them to spend as they may spend on unnecessary things.

I did not do anything of those stuff like enrolling her before to a tuition and so on, since i don’t have any idea about that… I pity my DD, almost dreaming of what she will be doing in the class with good and well prepared kiddos and scared to think she will be left out… what to do?.. am i too late to prepare her this coming year… is there any program like one week preparation only… and does it work? confused lah! help!!!

Don't worry :hugs: , enroling with tuition or enrichment is just enhancement.. isn't compulsory. It is really dependant on individual parent :boogie:

And I don't think she will be left out. Academics portion, shouldn't worry too much (she is in kindergarden or CC right?)

You might want to address the social and emotional aspect so that she isn't \"shocked\" when she shifts to P1 and will have an easier transition..
