Please teach me what is "learning gap"

Basically, the learning gap is the difference between what your child HAS ALREADY learned in comparison to what they ARE EXPECTED TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND. So for example, there could be a learning gap for a 5th grader who hasn't yet learned multiplication or division. The gap comes from the fact that most 5th graders are already learning/have learned that topic. It's usually based on individual performance, though.

I have a preschooler and her class is 8am..i'm having a hard time convincing her to take a bath in the morning..any advise? We usually spent 10 to 15 mins chasing before taking a bath..waste too much time..i'm a working mom by the way..

Let her take a bath once she's home. However, make sure she looks neat and clean as she goes to school.

What oil or somthing like vicks can you recommend if your child have cough? My dau is g6pd so she cannot use menthol..thanks!

You may try Vicks BabyRub. I've read that it doesn't contain menthol. Other option would be Human Heart Nature Soothing Balm. It contains Lavender and Eucalyptus and is G6PD-safe.

What is your child's all time favorite movie? Like they can watch it all day repeatedly then the next day they would want to watch it again.. My dau went through frozen..to big hero 6..to tangled..

Right now, the kids in my life are crazy about Zootopia! I guess talking animals are always a hit with kids. I also love that the show talks about acceptance, not being prejudice and tolerance. A great message in this day and age.

Any tip for a quick bento? I'm a newbie and i love preparing for my kid but i'm also a working mom..tick tock..time constraint..

I think bento making will really be time consuming especially if you've just recently started doing it. I can only advice to prepare what you can prepare the night before. You can get a lot of tips from the bento-making experts. There's a Facebook group for "inbentor" mommies like you. You may check it here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bentoPH/

How to motivate your toodler to start drinking milk in glasses and totally give up the bottles?

VIP Member

This is quite challenging, Janice. Especially that your toddler has been used to drinking in feeding bottles for a long period of time already. Drinking milk would definitely be a different experience for him/her using glasses than feeding bottles. So, you would be needing to add a little trick. You can start this slowly by playing games--with your participation of course. :) You can have different colorful drinking glasses to entice your toddler's attention to using these. Play games with him by having a mini race of drinking milk using these glasses. In this way, you will have another bonding activity while preparing your toddler to another milk-drinking journey ;) Good luck!

How did you choose your child's name?

I just got it from the internet. I knew from the start that I wanted a name that it quite unique but not too different that it would be difficult to spell or pronounce. Hence, my child's name is Harper.
