Same. Our 2 kids not so fluent in dialect but can understand somehow. We speak dialect in house which helped i think.

Maybe can try dialect classes? Want to enroll my son but not sure which center to choose. Any suggestions?

One very important rule when starting your own business is your own expectations of the returns.
Be down to earth, and you'll be fine.

Agree. I think friend didnt prepare very well in business. Should have expected various factors esp returns and come up with solution. So sad that business only lasted few months to stop further loss

I think that if you have a business idea, you should implement it and not wait

Hmm might not be the case for every1. I have friend who put up food business before but didnt carefully plan everthing. Business died down after a month or so

I think teaching kids with dialects is helpful for them to remain connected to their roots and so they can communicate well with their relatives or friends who speak their dialects. Did you know that in some countries, dialects are being taught in school? This is so they can understand well the subject.

In our home, we teach our kids both our dialect and English.

Hope they can teach dialect here too. Currently, son is learning dialect from us. Would be great if he would be fluent both in dialect and English.

I totally agree fully that parents must play a big role in the proper upbringing of the kids. I was so shocked when a close friend of mine while chatting told me that she is ok as long as her boy is not the victim..she does not mind her kids going around bullying other kids..and mind u, her elder boy is only 35 mths now and he likes to hit others (his mummy is actually proud that her kid is not a softie!!). What a twisted mentality!! Are all the new-age parents like that nowadays??
:?

Teachers and principals have to play a part too! There was once in my kids kindy where there is a big bully in my son's class, with a very cute looking face..many kids were \"bullied\" by him before..so when I told the person-in charge of the kindy about this boy, she just brushed it off by saying \"Oh,he's actually a very lovable boy..just playing around\". Even teachers/principals are treating these as trivial matters, no wonder the bullies will carry on their \"evil ways\" till teenage yrs!

Oh dear, I couldn't agree more with you! Proper upbringing is so important, and it's disheartening to hear about parents who don't take bullying seriously. Kids learn so much from us, don't they? And you're absolutely right, teachers and principals should definitely step in too. It's not just \"playing around\" when it hurts other kids. Let's hope things change for the better and our little ones grow up kind and caring. Take care, dear! 💕
