Maybe you are right, my wife and I would usually keep talking with him about school when we are home after work. Will stop and try to make a routine for him. Hopefully he will slowly get used to it.


Today was another terrible experience for him when we left him with the teachers. Once I handed him over to the teacher to carry him in, he was crying and shouting "Mummy, Papa!". Heartache. But no choice, still turn and walk away. Hiazzzzz…

Why send the little girl to childcare?

1) are you a working mum?
From my past experience, I had learnt one valuable lesson.
Listen to the child . If she is upset, don’t go … Something very upsetting might had happened and she could not relate the entire incident to you yet.
Bear with her, keep her with you or send her to grandparents house to be taken care.
Wait till she is 4years old , then, you can consider sending her to K1.
Frankly speaking, no rush.
That is my just my opinion …

I think we all have our own reasons for sending the kids to childcare or pre-school. In fact, I think it is beneficial to the child to socialise and learn more skills instead of staying home with grandparents and watching TV most of the time.


It is also not fair to expect our aged parents to chase after an active kid for so many years.

If you really think the school environment is upsetting - impatient teachers, bullies in school etc, change to another school by all means.

Perhaps when your daughter doesn’t have school she finds it very slackish and happy?


I mean, even myself, often after a long holiday like June holidays or December holidays, I don’t feel like going back to school and keep tossing and turning all night in bed

glad to say now that my son is no long refusing school … it started on monday when he suddenly wakes up and say that school is open today (as opposed to saying school is closed every day previously). He now happily dresses up in the uniform and head to school. Upon reaching he is fine to walk into class himself and waves good bye to us … hahaha

great to hear that! sometimes it’s just a matter of re-adapting after a break.


a lot depends on how well you know the teachers and thus how well you trust them. If you can’t trust them, then you’ll always be wondering whether something happened. If you can trust them from observation or from friends’ experience with the school, then can just leave and go away with no worries.
