4. What type of feedback do you get from the teachers in the centre? Son-No prob academically, but lacks initiative, appears to be dreamy at times. Girl-Very enthusiastic and keen learner.
5. Do you participate in any activities / project work of your child? Yes, esp for my son cos he is not interested in craft work, have to sit him down and complete the projects together.
6. If you read to your child, how often and when? Everyday at night. Son-will sit and listen to him read or take turns to read if story is too long. Daughter- will read with her.
7. How do you spend time with your child? Basically, I have schedule for them. Both go to sch in the morning,come home have luch, watch TV and nap.

4-4.30pm Son-practise Keyboard Girl-practise Piano (Have to sit with them and hear
them practise) They take turns, when one is practising, the
other eat fruits.
5-6pm Home work time, also craft time for my girl cos she doesn't have as
many homework to complete.
6-6.45pm Dinner
7.30-8pm Outdoor play at the playground
8.30-9pm Reading Time (After 9pm- Play time with dad)

Will try and stick to the routine unless my boy or girl has enrichment classes.

Weekends-We try to bring them out once a week to places like airport, zoo,
beach,shopping etc.

Hope my input is helpful.
