Teaching To Kids
Does any working mum feel the need to teach kids other than in childcare? I just feel so hectic in daily schedule that I can't seem to work teaching into evenings. I fetch my lo (3 years old) around 7 from childcare, feed her till about 8 and then play time till 8.30, then it's Bath and sleep time. If I stop halfway during an activity, it's also very hard to get her to not be angry..I feel like I am not doing enough.. How do you working mums do it? (if you are)
Birthday Goodie Bag Idea!
Just sharing an alternative for birthday goodie bags for parents who do not want to give out food items to your LO's friends! Bought the ZooMoov passes during their promotion, it was $38 for 14 passes so I bought 28 passes and got 2 free from their lucky spin - total of 30 passes for $76. Got 30 lanyard cardholders from Shopee (China Marketplace) for $22.14, so each set only costs $3.27 to prepare :) I got them for my LO's birthday goodie bags because: 1) I didn't like the idea of giving sweet treats to kids. 2) I wanted something practical that the kids/parents would use, yet unisex and not something they might already have at home. 3) I tried to reduce the amount of waste produced, and though they come in plastic and paper backing (didn't know this before I ordered), it's still better than things like balloons or things the kids will never use I guess? 4) The kids should have an ez-link from around 2-3 years old (as long as above 90cm tall), so they'll need a cardholder to learn how to take care of their own card and things like public transport too. 5) Crayons, colour pencils and stationery may be good IF your LO has a birthday early in the year - my LO is born in September (I know, I prepared real early) so we'd have so many of those by then. 6) ZooMoov passes are usually quite expensive (about $5/5 mins ride) so it's a good experience gift that the kids can have with their parents, who may not spend on such experiences for their kids. 7) They have no expiry or name tagged to it, giving parents the flexibility to give them away/keep them for future use. Just putting an alternative suggestion out there if anyone is frustrated over preparing gifts!
Question for Parents with Preschoolers: What are the skill-sets you'd hope for your preschoolers to achieve?
I'm conducting a research to find the best blend of methodology, theories and directions possible for building a curriculum to develop children holistically and I'd love to hear from you parents of preschoolers: what are some skill-sets that you'd hope for your preschoolers to acquire yet feel that the schools are not providing sufficiently with? And how much would you pay for a weekend one and a half hour session that helps your preschooler in the area they need help? Thank you and I'd love to hear from you! Kaia
Travel question: going on a cruise

best time of the day
hello, I just wanted to share with fellow mums, the joy of spending those 20 mins together with my daughter before she doze off to sleep. those 20 mins are the best that I spend with her. we get all cosy and we share all our day's thoughts with each other. it's amazing to see what a great listener she is. and how she comes up with ideas like buying a big cake for my friends at work to get things done! Wish I could freeze time.
