[quote=\"Tano\"]hihi, my dd is going to P1 in 2014. she doesnt attend enrichm class, only pcf k2 and self taught. hope that she wouldnt be lagging behind the average students.

so far no tingxie fr her sch.

My dd1 didn't have tingxie when she was in K2 and she didn't have any issue with tingxie in P1. She does not have Chi enrichment too. But we do speaks Mandarin at home.

My ds have tingxie when he was in K1 and K2, we speak minimal Mandarin at home n he did not attend any enrichment classes.. but he still have prob with tingxie during P1, now slightly better.. thus i feel it is all based on individual child..

U may juz start preparing her like what phtthp suggested earlier. [/quote]Thanks for the comments mummies (assumming all ladies)!

my dd does speak mandarin at hm. i am not sure if she can write chinese words (excluding those she does in sch), cos i dont ask her to practise writing. not yet.

phtthp: u are spot on. i do believe in home teaching and against spending $ & giving the job to other teachers in some enrichm sch. struggling a little to do teaching at hm cos there are so much to cover! english, chinese, maths, reading books in both languages + so little time (both parents work full time & we hav a younger girl).

on one hand, i want my kids to enjoy their childhood, learn at their pace. on the other hand, i am worried if i am not kiasu now (or rather, not kiasu Enough) & that might cause later troubles/stress when i find out that she has much to catch up.

Hi mummy1901 & J and J,

delighted to see some ‘actions’ in this thread. I guess most people who come to KSP have schooling kids already & less of bb/toddlers whom they are stil bf-ing!

yup, i definitely will feel some sense of loss when i stop.


anyways i am glad to hav persisted so far

sometimes i wonder if it is the bb that wants to latch or mummy who wants to be latch


i didnt think i will go so far (coming to 15mths) cos i only bf my 1st for 7mths (v little latching, mainly bottled expressed bm). when i stopped for other reasons, i didnt feel the struggle inside me... u knw what i mean? haha... like now i love the peace on her face when she bf & the funny noise she makes when she want to latch etc... it is special.

no wonder ur icon photo so sexxxxyyy :evil:


ur prob is a tricky one. what if ur 3rd complain that didi can drink but he cant?!

buds, i hav 2 girls. but frens w boys bf til abt 13-15mths, those i asked self wean/ refuse to latch so mummy stopped.

too tired… i haven’t had a full night rest since she is born.

& want to minimise any disturbance to my work.

i am contemplating if just by latching in morning, evening (after dinner), b4 sleep, wee hrs, she is getting enuf milk?

cos if i don pump=no more bottled bm at 5pm while i am at work, or shld i supplem w fm at 5pm (though i knw she will be struggling to take).

aiyaya… these bb hav us wrapped ard their fingers!

Nihauma, u are spot on on my concerns.

My girl practically refuse to take the bottle. She has to be fed using small cup, sometimes unreluctantly when i am away at work.
i cosleep w her too. so other than the times i am at work, she feed on demand too including thru the night. she gave me a terrible night last night!

thanks for chatting!
