Wonder if that works for others 🤷

Hopefully all events finish by July for kids to come home early. Doesn't help for sec kids to be dismissed between 220 and 240 daily. 🤷

Kids at this age need at least 10 hours of sleep. My boy P4, wakes up 6am and nap about 2.5 hours every afternoon, at night sleep around 9.30am. That leaves about 2 hours of coaching at night. I do not allow him to go for remedial / supplementary classes & CCA not compulsory (also no CCA bus back home).


Not enough sleep how to concentrate in class? Parents have to weigh what is important and adjust priorities / schedule.

vicki:
What time do they sleep at night? N do they nap in the afternoon?

try to let them sleep before 9.30pm, but for p6 it's not always possible because of homework

nap is a good suggestion, but after cca, they usually reach home after 5.30pm.

poor kids 😞
