Thank you for sharing. Although my girl is a girl, she does not perform a lot better than boys. She start speaking sentences around 3 years old only. So, I want her to study 1 more year of K1. But maybe in the same kindergarten.
Abacus learning class is held by his kindergarten, they arrange this class together with outside organisation, the class just welcome their own students.
For Kumon, I just join the centre nearby, it is a habit to practice everyday.
Hi! Fat Boy Ma Ma (Sorry I can't type Chinese Character)
Actually, I also conserning about I put too many activities to my son. May be I am a full time housewife, my job is to organise and manage their time (I have 2 sons). It is really busy for me as every time after attending the activity class, I still to let him to have a afternoon nap / go to library / go to park / do the homework and revision.
I am really observing him whether he is tired or not.
Dear Fat Boy Ma Ma (Sorry, I don't know to type Chinese Character),
My boy like to attend the JMC by Tom Lee since end of Nov and he love this course very much as he really like music. He always sing the song and he want to learn piano ASAP.
Do you go to the JMC with your boy or your maid accompany him? By my observation, the students with mom shows more interest in the class.
One of my elder sister is also a working mom and her elder son is also birth in June 98, his son also joint the JMC by early Nov last year. Her husband and her will also attend the class with their son as they choose the class at 7:00 to 8:00.
For other activity classes, do not allow the parent to attend, there is no problem whether you or your maid to take him to attend the class. If you want your son to joint those classes, you better not asking your son he would like to joint or not, you can try to introduce those classes for him, after he attend those classes for a period of time (may be half year or more), you can ask him to continue it or not as he got much information of those classes already and he can quit the courses if he want to.
