I keep falling sick.. only this year.. and I have been bathing cold water since young le... so.. nothing to do with bathing with cold water..

In actual fact, bathing with cold water.. actually does strengthen your body..

Cold water is also better for the skin, hot water will age the skin. Plus our water has chlorine, so not good to bathe with hot water.

The kids do use heater, but I adjust it, so that it's more like lukewarm or normal room temp.

Erm... DD using the one that have water filter to remove the chlorine...

I am very stress lor... :nailbite:

think we can afford to relax for a year.... or can't...?

Me thinks lower primary is very important for building foundation, not time to chase grades, so should take it easy actually. With the light workload, it's the best time to read a lot, build a good vocabulary bank, establish good study habits etc. Most of all, at this age they should enjoy school and the process of learning I've seen my fair share of p1 kids who lose all enthusiasm for school by mid-year after endless tuition classes, homework, assessment books and past year papers. By then, zero motivation left wor.

My 2 cents: must must must let your kids have time to read esp when in lower primary. Cos if they don't build up vocabulary and an intuitive sense for language, be it EL or MT, right from the start, later on you'll end up fighting fire with the most boring way imaginable, guaranteed to kill all interest... Piles and piles of guide books and worksheets... No amount of vocabulary lists can beat what you get out of reading good books for years!

Take the time to lay a strong foundation first; during the higher primary years, they can build on it with confidence.

I think it applies to all things bah. Even for maths, sometimes it just does not click till later....really depends bah. Some kids are ok to tackle science jargons much earlier because it's just words and if explain clearly, the child should understand if it's time.

True, have to understand our kiddy to apply the technique or push at the right timing.. the worst thing to happen is total switch off .. when that happen, a possible of no turning back...

Drinking clean water is important, even DDs CC also as water filter to provide clean drinking water.
