ya, its better not to have 2 kids with age gap too far apart coz its not easy for them to play together and also might not be close to one another..Don't worry, 2 kids still can handle (from my experience , i take care of my 2 kids all by myself (no maid) , my mom only helpls me when necessary)

My two girls are 9 years apart. Adores each other like crazy, hugs and kisses all the time. No problem playing with each other and watches TV together (though I am not sure if it is beneficial for a 11 year old to watch Hi 5). Definitely fight less than my 2 nieces who are 3 years apart.
Not necessary true that it is better to have kids with wide age gap.

Hi Trina,


you are lucky to have 2 kids with such wide age gap to adore each other, maybe they are girls, more loving…my 2 nephews, 6 years apart, fight all the time !! lol , maybe boys don’t in to each other that easily…in fact, the younger one always bully the kor kor…because of this, my sis dared not to try for 3rd one ( she would love to have a daughter but very afraid to have another boy), if turned out another boy, she is going to faint !! haha

Hi joanne_mas,

no, my DD doesn’t attend any playgroup , will just let her attend pre-nursery class at her bro’s kindy next year. My DD’s learning ability is faster than her kor kor and she loves singing she loves to watch Hi5 , pocoyo and mickey mouse clubhouse. I just teach her alphabets, numbers, some songs now and then…

My child used to be in afternoon session and she was coping fine. I transferred her to morning session, hoping to prepare her for Pri 1 just like u all. It was a big mistake. I had a cordial relationship with the ex-teacher and will get feedback from her from time to time. It finally dawned on me that transferring to morning session for a preschooler is not a good idea. After transferring her back to afternoon session, there was marked improvement in my child. Weigh carefully if your child should study in the morning or afternoon session if studying in the morning session is too tiring for your little ones if they are used to a late bedtime. Moreover, the child has to sleep about 10 hours to be able to follow lesson, listen to instructions, do work in class. Transferring my child to pm session is the best change I have done for my child. I can use the time at night for teaching my child. In the morning when I’m out to work, my child will still be sleeping till very late. I also insist that the afternoon nap must continue.

Hi lukemommy,


I also find my DS2's learning ability faster than DD1. I wonder is it cos got an elder sibling so they picked things faster Does yours speak chinese? Mine more proficient in English cos my maid speaks English. Am trying to communicate in chinese with him.

Same for me. My dd2's learning ability is faster than dd1. My dd2 only understands English and speaks English. When dd1 was younger, she came home telling me she dislikes Chinese, she is an English, why should she learn Chinese...I was :rotflmao: :shock: and correct her. :oops: So now I am considering to send dd2 a playgroup to explore her with Chinese.

hi joanne_mas, how have you been? didn’t visit this thread for a while… my DD doesn’t really speak chinese but i am trying to teach her some simple basic daily use words …her kor kor speaks chinese with a funny accents according to his chinese teacher but can’t blame him coz he is half chinese (me chinese, hubby spanish) don’t know if they really cannot cope with chinese in pri shcools, can be exempted from chinese or not? of course will let them learn chinese but can cope or not will depend on them…


pinkybear, your dd2 so cute said she is an english i think nowadays most kids expose to english more than chinese as in school, the kids will communicate more in english than chinese… have not found a playgroup class for her at the moment but had registered her for N1 class next year) but i am thinking when my DS is in P1 , i will enrol him at Berries

hi sembgal, luckily so far my boy is ok with the transition, has not made any fuss in the morning , sometimes he will take afternoon nap ranging from 1 to 3 hours…so keep my fingers cross !!
