Advice needed

I’m considering of pulling out my 19 months from playgroup in a school and join mygym playgroup instead. Is this a good choice? My LO just entered the school 2 weeks ago but I can’t seem to align with the curriculum which the school provide.

Prolonged Diarrhea Concerns: Seeking Answers for Baby's Wellness

I wanted to ask if your baby has been experiencing diarrhea for an entire week even after receiving medication? We switched her milk to soy as per the doctor's advice, but we're unsure if that's the cause of it. We've taken her to four different doctors, but they keep prescribing the same medication for her diarrhea. #firsttimemom #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby #15m

PTA went wrong. 4 year old judged heavily on academics while nothing is being taught

My daughter is 4 and goes to a "inquiry based learning" preschool. Needless to say she doesn't come home with any homework. Neither do the parents get any emails or suggestions about what to work at home with the child. There are no textbooks either. I don't have a problem with it because I consider this is the age to play and that's how it is. Their topics are about "Recycling" and "Baby growth in womb". (with photos of many stages of baby growing in the womb) and showing ultrasound photos of the babies. I considered all this to be part of the modern liberal approach to teaching. However the PTA didn't go like that There were a lot of COMPLAINTS about How she didn't know to find the number 25 from blocks How she didn't read or learn to read words How she doesn't recognize January from July. All this without even a single instance of teaching A to Z. Or phonics. There is no mention of phonics anywhere in the curriculum. They are not asking parents to teach them anything. Year round we get emails every week. No materials are given to parents. Nothing. There are kids who the parents work with at home , presuming using their own materials, or who go to enrichment centers like kumon, and who do a good work in school. But is this really how it should be? They also showcase children's skills (which they didn't gain from school) in their newsletters. Like how a kid is writing till 50. (They aren't teaching or even attempting to teach any of this) Its like there are exams, but nothing is being taught. Is this normal? I am very new to Singapore and this is also my first child. After all of this, I was sent home saying, I better hurry up because Singapore has an aggressive education system. (While they are doing ABSOLUTELY nothing about it) I spoke to some other parents. Some of them who got negative feedback, just liked to believe that their kid is just backward and the other kids are "brilliant" These kids are 4 years old, and these kind of notions about the kids will scar them for life. And this is supposed to be a holistic teaching place which charges me 2000$ per month. Please help. Is this normal?

Is it normal for 5 years old (gg 6) to have fever/cough/flu often?

My 5 years old (gg 6) daughter have been having fever almost every month. Is it normal? Been to 3 doctors, all say is normal because school a lot of children falling sick everyday some more we have ayounger son 3 years old (gg 4). They always share food together and we never separate them even if one of them are sick. But wanna check with the parents here, does your child fall sick easily?

It is indeed common that kids nowadays fall sick easily through air borne (fever, flu, cough,hfmd, covid like symptoms). It can be due to the environment, low immunity. My daughter's classmates majority of them have been falling sick and it is common. Nothing can be avoided. Even those kids in IFC/CC too. I guess just have to boost them with vitamin C, good supplement, vaccine and ensuring hygiene are cared for. 🥰
