Dear AAA-Mom,
After reading your comments, which seem a bit too radical, I doubt if we have been too selfish.
Well, we have never disallowed our kid to play "unmeaningful" games or be idle for some while. We have close custody of how our kid reacts when starting a new/fun course (e.g. we discontinued the art class at Kids' Gallery since our kid did not show an interest in the way the class was delivered).
Our kid really loves reading textbooks (not just the pictures but the words). He likes to repeat what we have taught him, e.g. several months ago, when I took him to the kids playground, he stared at the words and said, "This equipment is designed for children of age 5 to 12. Adult supervision is recommended...." He seemed to want to tell me he knew these words which my wife taught him previously. I was quite astonished because he was about 20 months old at that time.
Last night, he did not want to go to bed (around 9 pm) and yelled at us, asking for some more reading time...
My wife and I have NEVER thought we need to hard press our kid to be a great man of significant achievements. Really! But we strongly believe that kids are like a sponge - he keeps taking in the stuff and knowledge he can acquire through games and books, family and intimacy, etc. This is very true esp for kids of age 6 or below (as we read about the relevant researches). They have a great quest for new things and it's just very natural for them to learn in an interactive and suitable environment.
It will be a regret if we miss the golden opportunity before our kid reaches the age of 6 (currently he is 2 yr 3 mth). Yesterday we got the chance to talk to our friend whose kid is studying K2 of both KCS and KCIS and she shared and confirmed our belief of the speaking environment her kid gains. Now her kid can freely express himself in both English and Putonghua, and is not shy in doing so.
Of course, if subsequently our kid cannot cope (e.g. insufficient rest time or even deteriorating health), we hope we can be able to spot the problem and remedy the situation early.
We still have faith in the arrangement of two kinders. for our kid.
Any others out there to share your (or your friends') experience? |

, given the great concerns from many of you (like insufficient rest time, play time, etc). The time and energy spent on commuting between the two kinder. have not yet been taken into account.
? Could someone there be kind to share more experiences?
