Dentist recommendations for 17month toddler

Hihi, just wondering where do you all bring your toddlers for their first dental appointment? What are the prices like?

VIP Member

I recommend Dr Nijam at Coast Dental (: For a first appointment, probably about $100-$200.

Hi all, is it a concern that our kid won't pick up English from preschool cos we are not speaking English but mostly Mandarin at home?

Hi mummy, how long has your child been in preschool? And how many hours daily? To pick up languages, you need to use it often so if you would like your child to pick up English, the child has to be exposed and immersed in that environment. One way of doing it is having one parent speak in English and the other in Mandarin. I know it may be difficult in the beginning but keep to this arrangement and in time, your child will know to converse to each parent in that language. Good luck!

How does your preschooler schedule look like?

Hey everyone, my daughter is 4.5 years old. She goes to full day preschool/ daycare and does an extra outschool class most evenings after dinner. Over the weekend we do Saturday: Swimming with daddy, Chinese reading enrichment class, Rock climbing class, brunch play date, library visit to return and get new books, visit to the grandparents (where she does art/crafts/bakes with grandma and watches cartoons with grandpa) and then dinner out as a family. Sunday: wushu, zoom playdate with other 4-6 year olds who take turns to read to each other (sans parents), ballet class, violin, afternoon play date, dinner out with extended family. She loves trying new things and often enjoys them and then badgers us to sign up for a class (the only class she made us drop was art classes, as she preferred to do free style art). We have created a tinkering lab at home, so in the mornings before school she likes to either make jewelry (like friendship bracelets) or draw/paint something. She wakes up at 7 and goes to bed at 9. Would love to hear the schedule of other parents with preschoolers!

My son is super active. i am unable to follow the schedule with him.

Persistent cough

My 6 years old son has been having persistent cough for 9 months now. I've tried many doctors including ENT and TCM, but none of the medicine work so far. Does anyone has such experience and able to recommend a doctor? Thanks.

When should I put my child in preschool? 18 months, 2 years old or 3 years old?

It really depends on you. But if can put later, it will be better cause go school means chances of falling sick is higher too.

Hi mommies, my 16month+ toddler has been continuously having flu and cough, mainly flu. We always go back to Thomson, but I'm thinking if for general illness, polyclinic you think is okay? Trustable? Thanks!

Super Mum

Polyclinic has good doctors too. Just longer waiting time.

Refused to eat in school

Hi, my 1 and a half years old child refused to eat, drink and sleep in school. It’s been 2 weeks since she started going to school. The teacher told us that this is the 1st time they faces this kinda issue. Usually they kids will be fine after 1 week. Any advise to make her feel better about school?

My son also had separation anxiety. He took 6 months to get used for the pre school.
