Dear mommies,


Wanna know what is the activity that you are normally do with your 2009 kids? I always think that he's too small so I let him play all day. Play his toys & iPad. I'll only bring him to playgroup class (2hrs) next year.

Thanks,

Even playing is learning, so it's fine I guess. My DD is very hungry for books, so I read a lot to her. She also enjoys going to the playground, fixing jigsaw puzzles, chit-chatting, playing cpu games, etc. MUST play NOW! You might consider controlling his playing once go into K1 to instill good study habits.

My DD now is into watching TV ( learn from his brother lor ).. She knows i forbid them to watch TV in the morning ( DS1 used to switch on TV when he woke up at ard 6a.m ) so she will wait for her kor kor to go off to school then switch on the TV :slapshead:

Hi baking mum,


Thanks for your advice. I’ll do that & delegate certain tasks to the eldest son for bonding purpose. E.g. Ask him to read story book to the youngest one while I do other things.

How do you manage to discipline your eldest daughter to do work for 2.5 hours every night? My eldest son requires my full attention. I need to sit beside him then He’ll do the work. If not, He tends to daydreaming.

My youngest son still can't color nicely. I guess I need to read more for him & teach him how to draw for his fine motor. He loves to go to the playground & plays with his friends.


Does anybody has 2005 & 2009 kids? May I know how you manage your time to teach your 1st & 2nd one?

Boys are always the active one... Mine is 2006 and 2009... I tend to neglect my 2009 DD, thus i need to come to this club more often to learn..

Mine is the opposite. I focus more on the eldest one & neglect the youngest one. Let's learn together...

It is due to gender, cause my DS1 is the same

Hi botakgundul,
Cane loh :rotflmao:
No lah, we sat with her whn she was younger n DD2 not arrived yet. We started with 30mins flashcards everyday, then increase to 40mins w coloring. Whn she was 2, we found out her great interest in drawing n coloring. So let her draw as long as she can, with that also help in her focussing n hand strength for writing. Sometimes she can draws for hours till we run out of drawing papers. That's why now she can do her work by herself even if both of us are out for work, leaving behind DD2 n grandma w her. Of course DD2 will disturb her, but generally DD1 can still manage to complete her assignments w/o our physical presence.
I think I am blessed in a way for having DD1, strong desire to learn character in her helps. But sometimes still must cane lah, kid is still kid after all mah. :spank:

Agreed :spank: , as cannot always use \" love education\" ... sometime when you need to discipline immediately like those dangerous stuff.. must immediately :nunchuk: :spank:
But after :spank: , i usually feel very guilty and use oilment to ease the red mark... contradicting rite

She can't sit through the entire cartoon or show. Unlike her elder siblings, she skipped the entire 'Barney stage' as her elder siblings do not enjoy watching it anymore.

Until today, my DD1 who is going into K2 is a TV addict. She was a TV baby who watches Baby Einstein, Barney and many educational baby DVDs. She was thus hooked on TV. I'm glad the rest of my chn are not. I'm more careful now.

Cane???? Oh no.... I'm the person who disagree using cane as disciplinary approach.
