Hey mummy, don't be upset or stressed over it! The brand/name of school your child goes to, shoes/clothes they wear, amount of enrichment they go to, activities they are involved in - they all DO NOT MATTER :) Instead of trying to get your child into prestigious schools or signing up for all those classes, you're better off just letting your child enjoy childhood while they can - and then get them into classes they actually like! In fact, if you constantly put your child into prestigious schools, growing up with branded items and putting a lot of emphasis on that - you might be indirectly causing stress to your child to keep up with this lifestyle all their lives. It's easy for one that's raised "poorly" to work hard and be happy/successful, but it may be harder for someone who grew up with prestigious names and branded items to keep up with the same "expectations" or living conditions as they grow older. Lastly, if you're constantly surrounded by such friends (mothers or not!), the easiest thing you can do for yourself is to stay away from them! Life isn't a race and growing up isn't a competition, the only person you need to compete with is the you from yesterday - and be better than you were yesterday :)

Prestigious is all a marketing gimmick! Sure the open house was great and a few lessons are great but it is not always great. The flow of preschool teachers are v high and they are what makes it matter, not the resources. Just send ur child to somewhere u can afford and convenient for u. Don't need to hanker over this method and that...kids will learn through play and exposure and any play and exposure is great! They should not be deemed one better than the other. Common...has any of these prestigious preschools proof and tracked their students go to the top universities in the world? They didn't and they can't because it is too fluid!! Don't buy this nonsense. Talk about other stuff - kids milestones and hobbies. What a fun day u recommend at XXX place w the family. If they keep the "prestigious" school talk up, seriously mama, u gotta change ur mummies friends

hi mummy!! hi5! I too can't afford to send my kid to schools like mindchamps which will cost a bomb! it doesn't really matter what school they go now, but rather the environment they are in. it's more important that they receive the love from home,and which ever school they go to. every parent will give their best to their child, as long as they can afford. chin up!

I felt like you, but it's not one the preschool but the number of enrichment classes they are sending their child to, swimming, berries, phonics. Though it may seem overwhelming for their children, but my kid is constantly asking me about going to these extra classes so he could be like his friends.

It's not about the school. Going to a branded school doesn't make the child a single bit of branded. importantly is the child loving the school and he enjoys attending school, they might have a better environment, but do they have loving Teachers?

Why bother? Dont compare. As long as we teach our lo the right thing it doesn't really matter prestigious or not.

Change your group of friends to one that can provide you with support instead of pressure.

Please la. That's all rubbish. Prestigious doesn't guarantee a successful child.
