Hey, I agree with you on this. It's so much easier to work with tutors than school teachers. With tutors, I can follow up in those areas son is weak in. School teachers may not be receptive when I ask questions.beanbear:
I'm glad that DS actually came home today without any homework!! It's a good thing the teachers are giving occasional moments of reprieve.
So it was a good day to catch up with a bit of rest and do a bit of tuition homework as revision. I have chosen DS to spend his time doing tuition rather than supplementary classes because I find I can work more closely with the tutors than with school teachers.
DS still manages to get to bed latest by 9.45pm every night and at least go to the playground at least 3 times a week. He has not fallen sick so far and I'm most happy about that. A healthy body is needed for this marathon.
Giving my son Vit C every alternate day and making him drink lots of liquid - soup, juice and water.
SAme here. Have been giving my DD liang teh, juices and lots of fruits and vegetables. Need a healthy mind and body to tackle the upcoming challenges ! :imcool:

Talking about healthy body, I find giving Sambucus to be highly effective as an immunity booster. It’s made of elderberry & echinacea. My kids hardly fall sick even during exam period. My DS has not had flu for 3 years now. On top of Sambucus, I give multivits & omega 3. Exercise & adequate sleep are also the other 2 pillars of immunity.

Where to buy Sambucus ? How does it taste like ? My dd hardly falls sick, but this year she breaks record, 2 times within 4 mths. -

Hi whitety, I buy all my supplements a US-based online shop at http://www.iherb.com You can use my discount code LUY703 and you get US$5 off your first purchase. I get a bit of rebates for referring you. It's shipped via DHL and you get it in 4 days and it's worth it if you buy like US$100 or more of vitamins and use DHL. Otherwise if you buy a few items, you get shipping via US postal service & you get it in 2 weeks.beanbear:

Comparatively, price difference is anything from 30-50% price difference from what you will get at Vitakids or other local shops. I've bought all my supplies for past 2 years already and so far very good service from iherb. They pack stuff properly to prevent breakage and refund you if anything breaks. No questions asked.
Honestly, after I put my kids on supplements, I've seen a great difference in their health. I also give them probiotics. When your immunity is weak, the stomach health will be one of the first signs.
Taste-wise Sambucus is a little sweet - like grape-tasting. There is another product called Sambucol and that has only elderberry, no echinacea. My kids prefer taste of Sambucus. My 3 older kids have no problems so far with the taste. I got 4 kids lah and my 4th baby is already on baby DHA!! My DD is also the weakest partly because she doesn't exercise as much as my boys. So while you give your DD supplements, it must be complemented with good sleep & exercise. -
Thanks beanbear!
My priority now should be ensure my dd has sufficient sleep first. If situation doesn’t improve, then i’ll try supplements. -
My boy will be having oral 25/26 apr...then followed by EL/CL compo 2-3 May and Eng paper 2 the same week !!! Totally crazy :siao: Last paper is 10/5. Are the kids REALLY ready for SA1 ?
Just finished Nafa 1.6km run today. That is a big relief. -
Really need to change my kids lifestyle & get them to go outdoor more (but I can’t find enough time!) Sch health check shows that their eyesight has deteriorated again as compared to last yr. Everyday it’s school, hw, reading or tv/screen games (45min) but all are near work & straining to their eyes! Sigh!

Falling sick = No time to do revision/assessment books/exam papers :evil: -
I told dd to go sleep early but dd said cannot as teacher will scold for not completing hw even when i told her i will write a note or call the teacher. So how?
