hi,

Sorry for the late reply. The teacher, Janice frm Pro-teach called me on sat & explained. She said cos the children needs to finish their homework hence not enough time to take their nap. And for those who had finished, they will juz take a short nap on the desk.
She asked me if i want my girl to finish her homework or nap. In the end, i chose homework cos by the time my girl reached home, she will not hv much time to do her homework as she nid to sleep early.
The teacher oso mentioned the kids will gradually used to not taking nap. Sigh, guess i hv to go with the flow...[/quote]

Thanx tansan for the update.
Having a daughter who is now in P2 at Palm View, the sad truth is that this is the primary school routine that the kids have to get used to. Shortened or no nap time.. less playing time.. rushed meal time.. etc etc. From my experience.. the kids will get into this new 'life' very fast indeed. They will gradually move away from the kindergarten life and level up to the primary school life. They adapt very fast. It is the parents that take a while to move away from the kindergarten life. Heck.. i tink I will still be in kindergarten mode when my daughter is in P6.. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHA[/quote]

you are right! I still cant adapt to it... lol.. unlike my husband, he can adjust to it very fast... i guess even when they hv their own family, we as parent oso will worry for them..

Anyway, i hereby wish everyone GONG XI FA CAI!!!

Hi there,
My daughter also experienced the same thing and sometime no nap at all cos not enough time. I don't understand why she said no time to sleep?? I feel that at least 30mins of power nap is more than enough as my girl has to wake up everyday at 6am.
Anyway, I have wrote to Pro Teach regards to this issue, pending their reply. will share with you when they have replied.
BR,

My daughter goes to Pro-teach after school. We were told to get a sleeping bag for her on the first day and were under the impression that the tables will be cleared during nap time and the kids would sleep on their sleeping bags on the floor.


However, I think after the first few days, the kids were told to sleep sitting, i.e., sitting on the chairs and leaning their heads on their arms on the tables. My girl told me she can't sleep well like this. Napping this way will be bad for her posture in the long run, this is also bad for blood circulation and will cause pins and needles on the arms and the legs!

I wonder if other parents have issue with this?
