I'm not sure about the market rate for chinese tuition but $20/hr sounds reasonable to me taking into consideration that you cut down on the travelling time and your kid will get 100% attention . Maybe you can get some feedback from the parents of her existing students .

I didn't prepare my elder girl in advance . Taught her when she entered P1 on my own and both had a hard time. So I sent her to Tien Hsia and she improved tremendously . So for my 2nd boy I started him earlier at K2 and now he's coping well with chinese. Both hate chinese initially and don't...

Both my kids are in Tien Hsia and so far I find the classes help ing them alot . The teachers are Native from China. My colleague told me Berries is equally good, you can take a look at their website below : Berries - World of Learning School

I came across this article about lying kids and feel it's beneficial for all parents : By : Dr. Noel Swanson, Consultant Child Psychiatrist Lying infuriates adults. The funny thing is, though, that it is the adults that often set the child up. It goes like this: Mother has just heard that...

It's dependent on individual school if they have swimming lessons . My girl is in P3 but her school doesn't conduct any lesson at all. I feel it's important to let children learn some basic survival skills so it's best to start them for proper swimming lessons under a coach. I started both my...

Hello mummies, you should take a look at Crosscom . It's highly recommended to me by my colleague who switched to this brand when she noticed her kids were not maintaining proper posture while carrying their bags. My girl has been using it for the past 3 years and we can really tell that she...

Hello EnFlor , yeah it's the same seashell from the other friendly forum !!:Dancing_tongue:. You know, things were very much in control when the kids were younger prior to schooling. Guess I might have set slightly higher expectation on them now thinking they are older , which backfire. Am...

Agree with you . They think we nag too much and I'm know as naggy mummy to them . Everytime I will reflect on what I should and shouldn't do to the kids. But whenever they did something not right my scream will come before I can even start counting 1 in my mind/ heart . What to do ? Now...

I'm trying very hard to do that also but after a long day at work you expect to run thru the stuff with them quickly so you can catch some rest . And feel there's is a need to do some revision with her since CA2 is round the corner. Told my DD for her Spelling and homework she needs to...

Yup, tried this method before .Sometimes it works , sometimes it doesn't . Depending on her mood. If she's in the right mood she can accomplish what needs to be done. Otherwise dilly dally again . Like today I told her that her mind is not listening to her. She needs to control her mind to...

Thanks mummies for your reply . I feel better being able to share the problem here . My girl has the same behaviour as Pokemon's boy. She gets distracted easily :we2daydreaming:and she can walk in and out of the room to get her stationery before she can finally settle down to start her...

Hi mothers out there with schooling kids , I am a working mum with 2 schooling kids age 9 and 7 yrs. More than 50% of the time my hubby is overseas for work and I find I am losing control of myself towards the kids nowadays. I tend to lose my temper easily and often , esp. with my 9 yrs old...

Ideally should be between 10 to 12 kg throughout the whole pregnancy.

It took me more than a year after married to get pregnant with my first girl . Was so worried that I was unable to conceive then. The 2nd boy came along 19th mths later when I was not planning for it.:001_302:
