Come to think of it, he doesn't refuse to buy from canteen - but he'll only eat onion rings, bags of unknown (I think it's snacks/crisps type). none of that rice/noodles thing for him. :roll:

Didn't know their school canteen selling tibits. Have your child patronise the bookshop already???

No leh, he doesn't seem to fancy the bookstore. All these months he's only spent in total less than $5 in school.

He tells me usually he'll head straight to library during recess, sometimes may play with friends a bit (but that is rare occasion). Yesterday I think their class were involved in planting some seeds during recess time.

Hi,


For a typical school day, without CCA, students will be in school at 715am, may I know what time is the recess for P1 and when they will be released from school?

Think I have to condition DD during Dec hols. She's been in the PM sessions for kindy.

With/out cca, school starts I think around 7.25am (am not sure) but students are encouraged to be in school by 7.10am becos they have all sorts of pre-assembly stuff to do (silent reading, someone saying something on stage).

Recess I think is 9.35am. Release is 1.35pm on Mon-Thursday, Friday is 12.35pm (thereabouts, it's earlier, that's all I know).

Thanks, will need to switch her body clock from afternoon to morning schedule in Dec

once I made spaghetti and it was returned practically untouched. Since then I've scaled down on ambition and just stick to fish fingers + cheese. Our friend won't even take ham at times, so not going to try ham sandwich. :stupid: :stupid:

First time I hear a kid does not like ham. I try not to give my kids too much ham because of the salt and preservatives.

What does he eat at home for lunch and dinner?

I understand my mum makes porridge for him during lunch. night is rice. He'll only take steamed egg, ah-gong's pork chops, some luncheon meat. This is a very 'cheap' kid, but I try to supplement with fish oil/vitamins becos he's so obviously missing out on food vitamins.[/quote]Yes, he eats very simply. My DH does not \"respect\" my kids eating preferance, he will use his parental resolve to push the food he wants them to eat. I on the other hand use the hiding method. But all might change when they are older. We also give them supplements.

Does he save the rest of his pocket money?

What pocket money? I prepare food and water bottle for him each day. I do give him some money in a wallet to be put in his bag - since he doesn't touch that money, I see no point to top it up. Don't want to incentivise him by 'earning' mummy's money and eating mummy-prepared food.

On eating, we've tried badgering, persuading etc, but it doesn't work. he's been that way since 6 months old. DH tried to force him to eat certain stuff but the mental thought of chewing veges is enough to make DS want to puke; plus too much time is spent on 'coercion'. I was fussy eater when young, so not going to push the issue....in time to come, hopefully he'll eat a wider variety of things.

:rotflmao: But curious, how do you teach him money sense? I'm thinking about how to start my DD on that. The only saving concept she knows is that ang pow money will be saved in the bank.

My DS is very strange, before he turned 18mths, he was practically a \"garbage can\" anything I gave him, he will gamely eat. Between 18mths and 2yos, he closed his month to everything but western soup and bread. So I homemade mushroom, tomatoe, pumpkin and what not for him. Then from 2yos till now, back to normal except for green veg. But curious when he sees his sis eat, he will eat. My DH will check that they have all the family groups. He always worry that the kids are not eating enough...... :roll:

I think is wll be cheaper if she buy food from the canteen. Me everytime those those cake n bread for her cost abt $2.50 lor.

I still put some money inside her pocket. Once she told me she forgot to bring her lunchbox out to recess. Run back and take but the door is locked. Luckily she got $ in her pocket so she follow 1 of her classmate to buy food. Maybe she experiences the chaos and hassle of buying food.. She rather eat bread EVERYDAY. :stupid:
