With a blink of an eye, my son is now 13 months. He is already practicing rock climbing, and cliff hanger. *faint* :scared:


He has also started calling \"Pa\", and \"Mum mum\", we are still decoding the rest of the words. :?:

Not everyone’s purpose is the same or will be the same.


Just as human beings are part of the nature. There are different roles we play, different responsibilities we have, and different paths we take. For example, the purpose of a teacher is to educate their students to their best. The purpose of a chef is to create tasteful cuisine. The purpose of a commercial pilot is to transport passengers across continents safely.

Money is a tool, and used as a form of transaction. Money is made while we are serving our purpose, and helping more people. The more people you help, naturally the more money you make.

Finding your purpose may require you to look close to heart. Once you find your purpose, you will open up new opportunities and the door to happiness.

What sort of training did u provide?

Hi e3nity,

I conduct training on iPhone apps development.

I wonder if there are any dads in this topic?


From the postings that I have read, it sounds really familiar to me and that was what I did when I was around that age as well. It seems to me that most boys behave like that, and yes, don’t fret. It is part and parcel of their learning and discovery stage.

I conduct training from neighbourhood schools to top schools, and almost all the boys that I have seen behave in the same way. These boys are in secondary school.

For a 6 year old, a mind filled with imagination and exploration, to behave in that way is natural, and parents should encourage their discovery and creativity at this stage. Asking them to sit still is killing their natural way of learning. If there is something that they find interesting, they will naturally sit still and focus. If you have not found what interest them, keep finding. And the same goes for adults too.

Hi Funx3,


Yes, he doesn't keep still. Not crawling yet but wriggling.

I wish he could call me, it would be great! He does sing along with us, of course the baby language. lol.

Wow... times flies!!!


He's coming to 7 months already. One of his lower tooth protruding out.

[quote]not only mathematics bascially all her subjects. what we did is to keep on giving her to practise. but i feel her heart is not with us when we are going through with her. it gets depressing and irritating to see her daydreaming.[/quote]
Hi Mum Lim,

As a trainer myself handling kids from P3 to P6, it seems to be that your daughter may not be a slow learner. From your description, it seems that everytime your daughter see you, she sees assessment books and that may be the problem. It is quite obvious that she has no interest in these subjects at the moment.

Why not try a different approach?

Have you tried introducing her to some fun or surprises when you reach home?

Instead of asking about her academics situation, start asking her about her day and what was the most interesting thing that happened. If her answer is nothing, it is likely that she is feeling emotionally lost, depressed, and unloved.

Here's some suggestions to make a turning point:

1. Bring her out to her favourite place for dinner.

2. Bring her for shopping to dress her up.

3. Bring her out for a day during weekend.

It is important that you do not talk about academics when you are out with her. Instead, spend more time chatting with her and build the relationship. Understand her better, in terms of her interests, hobbies, food, what does she really like, her ambitions, and remember everything she said.

With these information, you may then work out a way how to gain her interest in her academics when you can start relating her interest with her studies.

Hi guys,


Glad to see so many of you here. I'm a dad to a 2 month old boy.
Tips on making my toddler sleep longer greatly appreciated!
