Hi smurf & sunflower, I have the same problem with my 3 yo son too. It really makes me :x ! So sometimes I purposely 'starve' him by not giving him snacks so that he will be hungry at dinner time. No choice, must act as bad mummy sometimes or else will have to :stupid: every day.

If you like Chinese soups, I find this website http://www.homemade-chinese-soups.com good. Simple instructions and got pictures to see some more.

Hi jedamum & RRMummy,


No secret lah! What I 've been doing all this while is to point out to sonshine what we see/do during our daily activities. So far, he has not attended any enrichment classes. After reading the posts here, I’m actually quite tempted to send him for phonic and Chinese classes next year (KS mentality).

Sonshine loves to travel on bus so we usually take bus when we go jalan jalan (sometimes from one interchange to another). This gives me the opportunity to teach him numbers (bus numbers that we see along the way), the types of vehicles on the road and any landmarks along the way.

Visiting the supermart is also a good opportunity to teach counting and numbers, colours, shapes, size etc. Of course must teach him not to treat the supermart as a playground which some parents tend to do so.

This is only my 2 cents worth of experience and there are still so many things that I hope to pick up from the parents here. Cheers!

Thanks for the encouragement. But the spouse does not think so. He would prefer that I also contribute $$$$.


Anyway, I really enjoy this period with my sonshine who is turning 3 in Oct. He is now able to read A to Z (both capital & small letters), count from 1 to 100 and spell simple words such as apple, baby, ball, milk, car, bus and his favourites Barney and Thomas.

I would be glad to share info and experience with mummies/daddies who have children of similar age. TIA

Dear all, just to say hi and hope to be able to make a +ve contribution to the community.
