mummies, did you give your kid any DHA or Omega 3 supplements?
i am thinking of getting but not sure what brand is good.

Jedamum,

My ds taking Nordic Naturals - I believe has DHA. It's more for immunity as he's in childcare.

My ds CC doesn't have tingxie. I'm kinda worried if he can cope with chinese next time. Btw, anyone has recommendation for swimming coach in Tampines?

hi,
beacon means your kid will be the second batch of students. while it is good, a gentle reminder will be that if you intend to shift home next time resulting in transfer of school, your kid may have difficulty adapting to normal teaching in normal schools as beacon is using interative teaching. jmho.
wa..22kg. my boy is 18kg...his appetite is tiny. haiz. he hates milk and i have to force him to drink half a cup a day.

oh rail mall. very near to my place. may consider that for my ds2 next time...so will probably contact you for feedback.
for math enrichment hor, my boy signed up with MMI (just a stone throw away from your jan and elly) and my advise is don't waste your time there unless you want your kid to pick up basics/fundamentals like
- addition without carrying over
- addition with carrying over
- subtraction without borrowing
- subtraction with borrowing
- multiplication
- division
- time
- fractions
save for the division and fractions, my boy knows all of the rest of the curriculum (although different teaching method is used).
their website state for 5-7yrs old and to my horror, their recent brochure printed its for 4.5-5yrs old! i'm going to call for explanation tomorrow.
anyway, i heard that enopi is good. think there is one at bukit panjang. too far for me.
