kiasu parents..

I was talking to 2 sets of SGP SAHM mums. After the conversation, I really wonder have i shortchanged my lele for the past years..

It's well known that SGP mums are kiausu mums. Some are willing to spend S$1000 on Glenn Doman Flashcards to teach their children since birth. Also, there is this famous St. James Kindergarten. My friend's son was under 41st place on the waiting list and after one year, he moved up to 29th. Another one enrolled her daughter immediately after she was born...and they start planning to do 'volunteer work' to ensure their kids get into 'branded' primary schools... I think ours will end up in neighbourhood unpopular schools, cos parents can't possibly fly down from china to SGP to do volunteer work right?

During this one month, LeLe attended some half-day education at Tulip montessori. Kids at his age already start to write A-Z , and Lele still has not started yet!! Although I often received compliments that LeLe is adorable and well-behaved, but I feel that his education needs improvement.

Now that I'm not working, I better start to do more for my kids. I bought a book - Rules of Parenting by Richard Templar, and shall equip myself with more parenting knowledge.

I shall also start teaching LeLe how to write A-Z, and start flashing Flashcards to Meranda.Hopefully my efforts get paid off someday.
