Hi mummies, I’m a newbie here.

Am 32yrs old and currently is a SAHM to a 15 mth old son and am staying in Bukit Batok. Would love to know more mummies out there. Cheers!

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 !!

Hi All

My twins are also Rabbit babies! Started childcare beginning of this year & so far coping well (aside from falling sick often)!

my dd just started cc in July but she is still very reserved -she likes to stick to the teachers and she doesn't like other children to touch her but will greet them like hi.. bye


anyone with similar situation ?

[TwinStarMum]

My girl normally is loud n active at home. But when she started cc she was quiet n reserved in class to the point that it was brought up by her form teachers. But after 2-3mths she was back to her usual loud, active self. She also made friends & came home telling me the names of her best friends.


Think they need to time to adapt to cc life, it helps that you recap with them what they did in school after you pick them up. Also know the names of the classmates & schedule of a typical cc life so it lets them feel that ‘eh… mummy’ also knows whats going on in sch.

Thanks for sharing your experience. hopefully she can relate to me what she has learnt in school as she is now 20mths + but only can speak a few words,and then blah blah blah....
