2024-05-20Hi, Moms. Now I'm in the second trimester and, for some reason, I often feel very achy. Yesterday, I came home from work and soaked in the bathtub with warm water. It felt so good to relax and it really helped me sleep soundly afterward. But I just found out that hot baths are not allowed during pregnancy? I'm really panicking. Has anyone else done or experienced the same thing?
2024-05-20Hello, Mom. I'm really confused right now. Entering the third trimester, my body feels completely out of sorts. Pain, aches... the only thing that makes me feel better is lying on my back or at least half-lying down (leaning back). But they say as the baby gets bigger, you shouldn't stay in that position for too long... I can't take it anymore, I cry almost every day because my body feels like it's falling apart. Does anyone have any advice? 😭
2024-05-20Hi, Moma, I'm feeling really worried. My baby (2 months) often vomits/spits up after nursing. My mother says it's normal, so we need to be extra careful. I already feel like I'm being very careful, but he still vomits frequently... sometimes he vomits while nursing, so he often chokes. Has anyone experienced the same thing?
2024-05-20Hello Mummies, my child is about 2.5months now & recently we have been having trouble giving him bottle feed. He will just put the teat in the mouth or tries to move his head away & sometimes gag when the teat is inside the mouth. Other times he will continue sucking but sometimes a feed takes an hour to finish. Does anyone face the same problem? Should i change to another bottle? Im currently using the Avent PPSU natural. What bottle recommendations is there?

2024-05-20Mom, I want to ask... why is it that my baby (4 months) has such a hard time sleeping? It seems like he never sleeps for more than 1 hour... like he never sleeps soundly. He also always wakes up because of little noises. I'm worried if this is what's causing him to have trouble gaining weight? Has anyone had a similar experience?
2024-05-20Hello Mom, has anyone experienced this before? My child (11 months) often refuses to make eye contact with me or anyone trying to talk to him. I really want to have him checked by a doctor, but my mother-in-law and my husband say he's just a shy child... is that true?... Do you have any recommendations for a doctor who can check this?
2024-05-20Finally dared to be intimate more than 5 months but it was painful though. And is it normal to have slight brown discharge/bleeding after that? Used lubrication too since I’m still breastfeeding and quite dry..
2024-05-20Hi mommies. Need your advice. I mostly pump every 3 hours. However since my son recently learned to latch, I have been breastfeeding more often. I am now wondering if my breast can keep up with his demand. He bf every 2 hours while previously I only pump every 3 hours. Will my body work its way to match my son's feeds/replenish fast enough to meet his demand?

2024-05-21Does giving pacifier make the baby teeth ugly in the future? LO been crying a lot, she’s 2.5 months now and recently we gave her pacifier to calm her down. But we’re afraid that it will become a habit and it’ll be hard to cut her off. Also the most worrying part is making her gum or teeth ugly..
2024-05-21I was diagnosed with Polyhydramnios by my doctor at 31 weeks pregnant. I'm confused, Mom, what is Polyhydramnios? The doctor explained that it's a condition where my amniotic fluid is too much, making my belly look very large, even though I was only 31 weeks pregnant. Then I asked, "What are the risks, Doctor? Can the amniotic fluid be reduced?" The doctor said it couldn't. I was at risk of preterm birth because my uterus could no longer 'stretch' to accommodate both the amniotic fluid and my baby. It turned out that 5 days later, I started experiencing leaking amniotic fluid, followed by blood spots. I thought I was urinating because I felt like I needed to pee before. But I couldn't hold it. There was a lot of amniotic fluid at that time. Long story short, I ended up giving birth at 10:40 PM with normal delivery and without amniotic fluid (so I had to keep pushing). My baby weighed only 1,600 grams and was 44 cm long. He couldn't cry, only whimper. He was so tiny... After that, my baby was immediately taken to the incubator and given oxygen and a feeding tube for breast milk. I was in good health, but my baby fought for his life with various equipment for a week. Until he finally passed away with a smile on his face. I was very sad at first, because this was our first child. But God loved him more...
2024-05-21Hi Moms, I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant, and I've noticed a strange, unpleasant smell from my vagina recently. I'm a bit worried and embarrassed to talk about it with anyone close to me, so I'm reaching out here for some advice. I am worried someone could smell it from afar... I am afraid to have my husband nearby. Has anyone else experienced this during their pregnancy? Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What can I do to manage it? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
2024-05-21Hi Moms, I'm currently 28 weeks pregnant, and I've been having a hard time with milk. The smell of it makes me feel nauseous, so I haven't been able to drink it at all during my pregnancy. At my last ultrasound, my doctor mentioned that my baby is measuring a bit smaller than expected for this stage. I'm really worried and wondering if my inability to drink milk might be causing this low fetal weight. Has anyone else experienced something similar? What did you do to make sure you and your baby got the necessary nutrients without drinking milk? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for your help!
2024-05-21This is my third pregnancy after 7 years. I'm 36 this year and my body feels different with this pregnancy. I feel more tired and sleepy. I can't walk and be active that much compare to my first two pregnancy (pregnant while I'm in my 20s). I feel that I need bedrest more than walking. Any mummies in their 30s felt the same?
2024-05-21My husband and I have been married for about 4 years and we have 2 children, one baby and one toddler. Like any household, we don't always get along perfectly, but I thought that was normal. However, lately, my husband has seemed quieter and just says "yes, yes" to everything. Two weeks ago, he was transferred to another office (the distance is kind of in between, not close but not too far either). Yesterday, he said he wanted to rent an apartment near his office because he's tired of commuting back and forth. After digging deeper, it turns out he feels physically tired and... tired of coming home to a messy house. Seeing me and hearing all my stories of the day (I’m a housewife). Not to mention when I get angry. He feels that he can't focus and work optimally at the office. He said he would come home on weekends, but during weekdays he wants to stay in the apartment... I’m sad and confused. I understand what he’s saying about our house always being messy because we have two small children. I do always talk and complain a lot. I also often unconsciously get angry with him, maybe because I'm tired from taking care of the house and the kids all day... He somewhat blames this for his failure to get a promotion to a better position. He says his mental state is somewhat affected. It seems he’s not really fond of young children. Do you think it’s normal for a husband to want to live separately from his wife and children?
2024-05-21Hi Moms, I'm feeling really confused and a bit overwhelmed. My baby is 3 months old and he never seems to be full. He cries for feeding all the time, and the gap between each feeding is very short. Sometimes it feels like I just finished feeding him, and he's already crying for more. Has anyone else experienced this with their baby? Is this normal, or should I be worried? What can I do to help him feel more satisfied and maybe lengthen the time between feedings?
2024-05-21I'm feeling really regretful and worried right now. When my baby was around 7-8 months old, I started giving him access to a mobile phone because it was the only thing that seemed to keep him quiet. Now he's 1.5 years old, and I’m facing several issues that I think might be related to this decision: - He doesn't want to eat unless he's holding a mobile phone. - He doesn't speak as fluently as other kids his age. - He cries a lot when he can't have his mobile phone. - He doesn't seem interested in talking to other people and almost always cries if he can't hold the phone. I feel terrible and don't know what to do to fix this.... Has anyone else gone through something similar? What can I do to help him develop better habits and improve his communication skills?
2024-05-21hi! may i know what kind of things should i expect for my first appointment at KKH? Thank you!
2024-05-21Is it okay for 2 months old to drink 200ml per feeding? Nanny said need to increase milk intake and baby also seems to drink it well slowly. With my first born she was taking 80ml at this age. Is this normal ?

2024-05-21Mom... my husband and I feel really guilty. We have one child. Both of us work... ever since our child was born, we've had help from a babysitter. When we're at work, we leave our child at my parents' house, but still with the babysitter. Often, we're too tired when we get home from work, so we don't have time to play with our child. We rarely talk to him. Sometimes, even on weekends, we have events. We do take him with us, but we realized... after thinking about it, even though we take him along, we rarely engage in conversations or interactions with him. We got too comfortable with the convenience... having a babysitter, someone to take care of our child. We rarely talked to him. The result? Our child has a speech delay. The therapist said one of the factors is the lack of stimulation for talking. We regret it so much. Why did we get so caught up in work? Why did we give in to exhaustion and convenience? We used to think it was pointless to talk to a baby since they don't understand yet. But that's not true. They will understand more if we talk to them more often... Child, forgive us for being negligent as parents...
2024-05-21Hi all, can you all share what are your sore throat remedies? Currently having a sore throat and the pharmacist asked me to take difflam lozenges but I'm wondering if any of you used other methods that worked.
2024-05-21Hi mummies, I have craving for coffee and bubbletea. Am I allowed to drink as I'm bf my LO? My LO is 6 weeks old.. First time mom here.
2024-05-21I wanted to share a personal story from my pregnancy that might help others avoid the same mistake. When I was in my third trimester (week 36), my husband and I had sex. It was a bit rough, and I felt some pressure on my belly during the act. I didn't think much of it at the time, but soon after, I noticed my amniotic fluid was leaking. We rushed to the hospital, and the doctor told me I needed to go on bed rest immediately. It turns out that the pressure had caused my amniotic fluid to start leaking, putting me at risk for preterm labor. Despite the bed rest, I ended up giving birth quite prematurely at early week 37. My amniotic fluid levels were lower than they should have been, which made the delivery more complicated. It was a scary experience, and looking back, I wish I had been more careful. I want to urge other moms to be cautious and listen to their bodies, especially during the later stages of pregnancy. If something feels off or too intense, don't hesitate to speak up and take it easy. Take care, and wishing you all a safe and healthy pregnancy journey!
2024-05-21Am having spotting, and I heeded one of the members' advice just that I went to Chas accredited GP instead of polyclinic and managed to get the KKH subsidised rate when I went to the Urgent O&G unit. Dr. gave Duphaston yst day. However, I am still having spotting even after duphaston. Is this normal?

2024-05-21Hi mummies. How much breastmilk ( expressed and bottled fed ) should my two weeks old drink? Currently shes taking 50mls well but googled mentioned that the intake should be more. Sometimes at 60mls she will have spitouts more so i kept it at 50mls.. scared im underfeeding my baby.. help me :(
2024-05-21Hi mummies, may i know what time do you usually last feed your baby? My baby is currently 8 months old and sleeps at 7pm. We still do dream feed at 8pm and 12am. But it feels like we are disturbing her sleep when we do dream feed. She is also unable to finish her first 170ml feed in the morning.
2024-05-21I'm a FTM, with a 2 month old baby. My husband just ended his paternity and started work (he works from home) and I'm going crazy with the lack of help. Some background, my in laws are more "play buddies" than care givers - my MIL had a village to take care of my husband when he was an infant, and thereafter he was fully taken care of by his grandma. She doesn't even know how to change a baby's nappy. My FIL didn't carry my husband until he was 6 months old. My parents are no longer in the picture. So my hubs and I are on our own. Financial wise, we don't want to hire a helper full time. In the past 2 months, the first was great because we had a fantastic confinement nanny. Thereafter, in the 2nd month, MY nightmare started. My husband has this habit of claiming "we need a schedule". And he's always the first one to bail. Then coming back full circle blaming me that we don't have a routine. So long story short, we agreed on a shift schedule where he does nights and I do most part of the day. But somewhere along the way, because meal times (i.e. breakfast, lunch and dinner) falls under my shifts, he has to "cover" for me to eat. And not to mention pump times (this annoys me buckets too. He keeps telling me how pumping burns calories for free, but complains and throws tantrums when I need to pump 4-6 times a day. So I ended up stopping at the 2 month mark, and he still keeps telling me pumping burns free calories. 🙄like if I had a choice in the matter. Either I choose my marriage and sanity or I choose breastfeeding my baby. My baby doesn't like to latch because I have really short nipples and she gets frustrated.) Back to this, so he tends to get frustrated towards the later parts of the evenings. His parents comes over to "help" but end up giving me twice the work to clean up after them, and he sleeps when they come over. So when he gets too tired, halfway into the evening he'll bail and have me do nights when I haven't slept since the night before. Then he gets frustrated the next day cause I'll be sleeping when our baby is fussing. Now that he's back at work, he claims to still want to do night, so that's 2am to 8am, and I take the rest of the hours. Is it fair to expect him to at least help out for an hour or 2 for me to have dinner or rest after he ends work at 5pm? Cause somehow from 8pm to 2am sleep schedule, it suddenly became 6pm to 2am. Leaving me along with the little bub for 18 hours. And she's going through some growth spurt where she's really hard to put to sleep during the day, and she screams bloody murder cause she has colic, reflux and phlegm. I'm tired, and stressed and guilty because I just screamed at my innocent baby for crying because she's overtired and she jumped because she got scared. I feel like I'm failing as a mother, and I really really hate my husband now. I really do need help if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get through this please. #adviceappreciated #firsttimemom

2024-05-21My 2mths old baby has started to sleep more, which means she is drinking less. Normally, if she drinks breastmilk, she would wake up every hour to an hour and a half after every feed. Today, she slept for three hours after every feed. I am worried because she is drinking less than usual and is wondering if she is unwell. Is this normal? What should I do.

2024-05-22Hi, I’m currently 20 weeks and most of my existing clothes don’t fit me anymore. I also gained quite a bit of weight so far. Feeling quite ugly and don’t know what to wear when I need to go out. I am not sure if I should buy nice maternity clothes which will be outgrown after I given birth or bigger sizing normal clothes which might fit me now but might be too big for postpartum. I want to invest in nicer clothes to make me feel better and yet don’t wanna waste money and space. I also don’t feel confident in what I wear and just feel like an auntie. In addition, I also feel that my face has changed and don’t like my look overall. I know I will only get bigger since I’m only half way through. Not sure if it’s my mindset issue, is there any way to improve my situation now?

On top of that, the nausea is really severe... Is this normal during pregnancy? I'm really worried and want to check with the doctor, but I'm extremely busy with a work project. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
2024-05-24I'm pregnant, already in the second trimester. Is it okay if I still like to use makeup, dye my hair, do hair treatments, etc.? Even nail polish... Does anyone have any experiences/opinions on this? Do I really have to stop doing these things???
2024-05-24Hi moms, entering the second trimester, I often experience constipation and a stuffy nose... Why is this happening? Is it normal?
2024-05-24I’m currently entering my third trimester and have noticed a significant increase in vaginal discharge. It's more than what I experienced in the earlier stages of my pregnancy. I was wondering if this is normal? The discharge is clear to milky white and doesn’t have a strong odor, but it’s definitely more frequent and sometimes makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything specific I should be looking out for to make sure it's not a sign of something more serious?
2024-05-24I’m currently in my third trimester and starting to feel the weight (literally!) of my pregnancy. I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to keep my baby and myself safe as we get closer to the due date. Are there any specific activities or things I should avoid during the third trimester?
2024-05-24I’m a bit concerned about my son's sleeping habits and how they might affect his development. He's currently 2.5 months old, and his sleeping pattern seems a bit irregular compared to what I've read or heard from other parents. He tends to have short naps during the day, maybe 30 minutes to an hour at most, and then he'll have one longer nap, usually in the late afternoon or early evening. At night, he usually sleeps for about 3-4 hours at a time, wakes up for a feeding, and then goes back to sleep for another stretch. I’ve read that babies his age should be sleeping longer stretches at night and taking longer naps during the day. Should I be worried that his sleeping pattern might hinder his development? Or is this normal for a baby his age?
2024-05-24Im currently 7 weeks pregnant after trying for more than 2 years. After getting the positive pregnancy test, I dont know what to do next. I went to A&E and did an initial scan. After that, went home with no follow up appointment. Still clueless, went to poly to take letter for KK. But one week later, still no appointment date. Currently on auto pilot by reading all the articles and forum here. What do I do? Just wait for an appointment date? Seems like 1st trimester is the most crucial but the least cared by healthcare provider. I went to A&E few times due to cramping and nauseous, but they just said its normal. I was on private care in kk but didnt get any care from the dr as she is also currently pregnant and wants to drop me to another private dr. The bills for A&E is so high as they charge private rate. Everything is just so expensive.

2024-05-24Logo designing is a crucial aspect of any business’s success, encompassing the visual, emotional, and cultural elements that shape how a brand is perceived by its audience. For a freelance logo designer, understanding and effectively integrating a logo into a brand’s identity is essential. This process ensures that the logo not only stands out but also aligns seamlessly with the brand’s overall image and message. Understanding Brand Identity Brand identity is the composite of several components, including the company’s mission, values, vision, personality, and unique selling propositions. It extends to all visual elements such as color schemes, typography, imagery, and, most importantly, the logo. A strong brand identity helps a company distinguish itself from competitors and fosters a connection with its target audience. Role of Logo Designing in Brand Identity The logo is often the first visual element that people associate with a brand. It needs to encapsulate the essence of the brand in a simple, memorable, and versatile design. Effective logo designing requires a deep understanding of the brand’s identity. This involves researching the brand’s history, target market, and competitive landscape. A freelance logo designer Singapore must be adept at translating this information into a visual representation that resonates with the brand’s audience. Integrating a logo into a brand’s identity involves ensuring consistency across all brand materials and touchpoints. This process includes: Developing Brand Guidelines: Brand guidelines serve as a comprehensive manual that dictates how the logo and other brand elements should be used. This includes specifications on color variations, clear space, minimum size, and placement rules. For a logo designer, creating these guidelines ensures that the logo is used consistently and correctly across various mediums. Visual Consistency: Consistency is key to reinforcing brand identity. The logo should appear uniformly on all platforms, including websites, social media profiles, business cards, packaging, and advertising materials. Maintaining visual consistency helps build brand recognition and trust. Adaptability: A logo must be adaptable to different formats and sizes. Whether it’s displayed on a large billboard or a small mobile screen, the logo should remain clear and recognizable. Freelance logo designers often create multiple versions of the logo, including horizontal, vertical, and icon-only formats, to ensure versatility. Emotional Resonance: A successful logo goes beyond aesthetics; it evokes the desired emotions and associations linked to the brand. The choice of colors, shapes, and fonts should align with the brand’s personality. For example, a tech company might opt for a modern, sleek design, while a children’s brand might use playful, vibrant elements. Implementing the Logo Across Marketing Channels The integration process continues with the implementation of the logo across all marketing channels. This includes digital platforms like websites and social media, as well as print materials such as brochures and business cards. Each application should adhere to the brand guidelines to ensure consistency. Additionally, the logo should be incorporated into the brand’s content strategy, appearing in videos, presentations, and advertisements to reinforce brand identity. For a logo designer in Singapore, the task of logo designing is not just about creating an attractive visual. It’s about crafting a symbol that embodies the brand’s identity and ensuring its consistent and effective use across all brand communications. By understanding the principles of brand identity and meticulous logo integration, freelance logo designers can help brands establish a strong, cohesive, and memorable presence in the market. This holistic approach to logo design and integration ultimately contributes to the brand’s long- term success and recognition. More Info: https://www.logodesignsingapore.sg/ #LogoDesigning
2024-05-24Advanced grooming skills are a crucial component of any professional pet grooming course. These skills go beyond the basics of bathing, brushing, and trimming, focusing on specialized techniques that cater to the unique needs of different breeds and grooming styles. Mastery of advanced grooming skills can set a groomer apart, allowing them to provide premium services and attract a discerning clientele. One key area of advanced grooming is show grooming. This involves preparing pets, particularly dogs and cats, for competitions where appearance is paramount. Show grooming requires a deep understanding of breed standards, including the specific coat length, texture, and style required for each breed. Groomers learn precise techniques for scissoring, clipping, and hand-stripping to enhance the pet’s natural features and meet competition criteria. Attention to detail is critical, as even minor imperfections can impact a pet’s performance in the show ring. Creative grooming is another advanced skill taught in professional pet grooming courses. This includes the use of dye, unique cuts, and artistic styling to create visually striking looks. Creative grooming can range from simple, fun designs to elaborate, themed styles that transform the pet’s appearance. This skill not only requires technical expertise but also a flair for creativity and an understanding of color theory and design principles. Continuing education is essential for maintaining and advancing grooming skills. The pet grooming industry is dynamic, with new techniques, tools, and products constantly emerging. Professional pet groomers must stay updated with these developments to provide the best care for their clients’ pets. Many professional pet grooming courses offer opportunities for continuing education through workshops, seminars, and online courses. These programs cover topics such as the latest grooming trends, advanced health and safety protocols, and new grooming technologies. Additionally, attending grooming competitions and trade shows can be a valuable part of continuing education. These events offer groomers the chance to learn from industry leaders, observe cutting-edge techniques, and network with peers. Participation in these events not only enhances skills but also keeps groomers inspired and motivated. In conclusion, advanced grooming skills and continuing education are vital components of a professional pet grooming course in Singapore. They enable groomers to offer specialized services, stay current with industry trends, and continuously improve their craft. By investing in advanced training and lifelong learning, professional pet groomers can ensure they provide the highest standard of care and creativity in their services.

2024-05-24Balancing creativity and business is a crucial aspect of being a successful logo designer. This balance ensures that while creativity flourishes, the business side of freelancing remains sustainable and profitable. Logo designers often face the challenge of maintaining their artistic vision while managing client expectations, deadlines, and financial goals. Maintaining Creative Inspiration For a logo designer in Singapore, creativity is the core of their profession. However, the demands of running a freelance business can sometimes stifle this creativity. To maintain inspiration, it’s essential to set aside dedicated time for creative exploration. This might involve experimenting with new design techniques, staying updated with the latest design trends, or taking on personal projects that reignite passion for design. Regular breaks and leisure activities that stimulate the mind, such as reading, traveling, or engaging in other forms of art, can also help keep the creative juices flowing. Effective Time Management Time management is vital for balancing multiple projects and ensuring that deadlines are met without compromising on creativity. Freelance logo designers should develop a structured workflow that allocates specific time slots for creative brainstorming, client communication, and administrative tasks. Tools like Trello, or even simple calendar apps can help in organizing tasks and setting realistic timelines. Prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance can prevent last-minute rushes and reduce stress, allowing more time for creative thought. Client Communication and Expectation Management Clear and effective communication with clients is essential in balancing creativity and business. Freelance logo designer Singapore should ensure they fully understand the client’s vision, brand identity, and expectations from the outset. Creating detailed project briefs and maintaining regular check-ins can help keep the project on track. It’s also important to manage client expectations by clearly outlining the design process, potential revisions, and timelines. This transparency helps build trust and reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings that can derail the creative process. Financial Planning and Pricing Setting appropriate pricing for services is a critical business decision that impacts both profitability and client satisfaction. Logo designers should consider their experience, the complexity of the project, and market rates when determining their fees. Offering tiered pricing packages can cater to different client budgets while ensuring fair compensation for the designer’s work. Additionally, keeping track of expenses and maintaining a budget helps in managing finances effectively, ensuring that the business remains profitable while allowing room for creative endeavors. Handling Multiple Projects Balancing multiple projects is a common scenario for freelance logo designers. To manage this effectively, it’s important to not overcommit and to understand one’s capacity. Taking on too many projects at once can lead to burnout and affect the quality of work. Instead, freelancers should aim for a manageable workload that allows them to deliver their best work for each client. Continuous Learning and Development The design industry is dynamic, with new trends and technologies emerging regularly. Logo designers should invest time in continuous learning to stay ahead of the curve. This could involve taking online courses, attending workshops, or participating in design communities. Staying updated not only enhances skills but also provides fresh ideas and perspectives that can be applied to client projects. In conclusion, balancing creativity and business as a logo design service provider requires a strategic approach that integrates effective time management, clear communication, financial planning, and continuous learning. By mastering this balance, freelance logo designers can ensure that their creativity thrives while their business grows sustainably.

2024-05-25I have a 21 month old toddler who is exploring the world and a 6 week old baby that I am exclusively breastfeeding. My husband is doing all he can while being the sole breadwinner whilst not having enough rest because he is working 12 hour shift. I lived across the globe from all our family. We withdraw our child from preschool due to hygiene issue. How can I cope when both of them cry for me? How can I manage the morning routine for them? How can do I whip 3 meals out for my child and husband especially when he comes back home from work? I struggle to find time to eat for myself and just yesterday I am so tired that for the first time I did not shower myself. Genuinely seeking for advice. Thank you.
2024-05-25Is it okay to abstain from cravings during pregnancy? I've been trying really hard to abstain from my cravings but I can't seem to stop thinking about my cravings every day. I salivate a lot and it feels really bad to consume food that I know is beneficial for me, but at the same time not what I really want at the moment. I've been avoiding spicy and sweet foods for a few months now and I feel like I'm reaching my limit.. Do you give in to your own cravings, or were you able to avoid eating foods that are not good for you such as sweets and fast food?
2024-05-25I just attended my kids' PTC today. both my kids attend preschool at PCF sparkletots, their teachers are great & so is the environment. I was told that my 4yo in her N2 class is extremely advanced, especially as compared to the rest of her peers n as a result is mostly bored in class or will lash out towards her classmates at times if they don't manage to keep up with her sometimes. She articulates her speech very well, speaks in full sentences n can problem solve on her own when encountering difficulties, her teacher told me that she has also been actively engaging with them to "teach" the rest of the class. My question is, what would u guys suggest i do in terms of her education? I fear she may completely lose interest in school if she continues being bored due to things not being stimulating/challenging enough Prior to entering playgroup with them, I did think of enrolling her in montessori preschools as she has always shown signs of being bored when things are too rigid or easy.
