I like schools which don’t have much homework and exam. That is why I chose Montessori preschool for my kid. Of course teachers won’t give him any homework and exam now, he is too young for that and still can’t hold pencil probably. LOL!!! But how if he has tonnes of homework and exam in year 5 and 6 ? I’m the first one who “pengsan”… :-) 

When I running my kindergarten 2 years ago, some parents complaint that teachers gave not much homework to their children. Well, our aim is playing while learning. What for do so much homework where their parents, sister or brother help out. No point and they won’t learn. I prefer finish their work at school. I know those parents worried if their children can’t catch up when they reach Standard one. This is very understood as fantastic school more concentrate on homework and exam.

I do hope that my kid can get many trophies when he grows up, but more on activities like sports, story telling, singing, dancing and etc rather than just study hard to get them. So, what do you think about your kids’ education ?

All students (aged 2-6) doing exercises with Mrs Ong (Principal)

Marcus woke up at 7.30am yesterday. Since Friday morning will be a PE session before start class, so I quickily get him prepare and send him to school. Daddy also followed us to school as to know more. LOL!!! We reached the school at 8.35am, still have many students on their way. The teacher carried him from me and went away. Gosh, he cried but stopped after a while. He really improve a lot. I saw him followed the teacher wherever she goes. I hide aside as to look at him. He is holding the teacher’s hand and did nothing but looking at the principal doing exercises.

My parents came and visited their grandson before the school dismiss. Once he saw us, he cried pity like didn’t see me for days. LOL!!! Oh, did I tell you that this school is using montessori method? Parents with montessori knowledge will know what I mean. I don’t like those academic fantastic preschool, primary and secondary. But with our Malaysia education, most primary and secondary school are based on academically fantastic except International school.

I hope my kid will enjoy his preschool life now, so that he has a better interest in learning when he enters to real school. In my opinion, it is not so important to enter to a famous school, but to enjoy their study life. Most famous school got a lot of homework and exam, I know it well as I also came from one of the most famous school in Ipoh. I don’t hope that my kid will live in fear daily just to complete his homework. Parents also feel stress and help out to finish their kids’ homework. Gosh, I have lot of examples from my previous tuition centre.

This montessori preschool arrange to have music class (more than 10 students) from MusikGarten once a week. Anyway, he is joined the music class (6 students) months ago near my housing area. I wonder if I should stop him after this term.

Whenever I leave my working place, my boy would climb up the chair and keep typing on my keyboards. I guess most kids like to play with laptop or computer. May be they are influenced by us. LOL!!!   

This morning, I’m half way writing about CAT5e post, I went to washroom. But this little cheeky boy quickily ran to the laptop and pressed some buttons when he knows that I’m not around. Gosh, the laptop shut down and I lost what I have write before.  

Mummy, you see, I’m more expert than you

May be it is the time to get him a mini laptop, so that he won’t disturb me when I’m working. As I know, most mini laptop have games and parents can teach their kids about alphabets, numbers and even colors.

Since Marcus is too young to go to nursery, not I say that but others even the principle from the montessori centre. I just want him to learn and mix around with other kids, that is why I brought him for a trial class at MusikGarten in Ipoh Garden East last Thursday. I thought he will cry during the class, but he was not.

Daddy, where is this place ? I want to go home …….

Before the class starts, hubby carried him to see other kids from outside. He can easily open the door and everyone is looking at us. Gosh, we felt sorry that disturb others and I wonder why the teacher not using Schlage products, then kids will not easily open the door and run out from class. LOL!!!

When we’re in the class, he reluctant to join the crowd, only sticked with us. After a while, he started to smile when he see others playing and running around the class. Actually he wanted to join them, just too shy and scared for the first time. I was happy to see him followed the steps at last. The class started at 7.45pm and ended at 8.15pm. Well, he even waived goodbye to his music teacher before back home.

I will enroll him when we attend the class again this week. Parents need to participate with their toddler in singing, chanting, moving, dancing, listening and playing simple instruments. So, I also have to learn and play with him in the class. Another exercise for me besides yoga. LOL!!! If you want to know more about MusikGarten, do check out their website at http://www.musikgarten.biz.

I bought 2 more sets of block puzzles for Marcus from Toy’R'Us store at MidValley during my previous trip to KL. Actually he has one wooden dinosaur block puzzle, but he was bored with it. I was shocked to know that he can put back all in less than a minute. I don’t have to teach him and he knows what to do and how to play with the new set of puzzle. Now, he takes all the vehicle and plays together with his toy cars.

The new wooden vehicle puzzle

So easy for me, mummy

This is the most challenging set I got it for him. It’s suitable for 3 years old, but I started to teach him. I think I need to use more than a month to let him get use of it. He is still blur with all the alphabets.

Challenging alphabet puzzle

mummy, I know to put the alphabet “O” only…..

My friend recommended me about stacking blocks and shape blocks. I think I will look for it when I go shopping next time. Besides all these block puzzles, what else do they like to play ???

I have bought many story books and flash cards for Marcus when he was few months old. I’m glad that he likes me to read story books to him before he goes to bed every day.  Sometimes I do feel bored to repeat all these books day by day, but he is still attracted to the books.

These are the story books from Ladybird Level 1 which he likes the most. I can read them all without looking the books. *sigh* I have bought some new story books recently for him though mummy was bored with the old books.

He likes the new chinese story books and wants me to read again and again. Well, if hubby and I are not around, my mother in law will resposible to read it to Marcus. My mother in law complains about the size of the words, she can only read the books after wearing specs or use magnifying glass. LOL!!! 

I’m glad that Marcus is willing to learn as he will point to me when he wants to know the name of the products or stuffs. Sometimes I do scratch my head when he wants me to tell him the name of the fishes, birds, animals, insects which we seldom get along with. Luckily he doesn’t ask me about air tools types at this moment, I’m sure give no answer to him. LOL!!!

I think it’s the best time for me to get a picture dictionary at home. I can show him in pictures with different languages. Somemore, mummy here also want to learn too. Let’s see if hubby free tonight to bring us Jusco. But it’s raining season now, somemore is Ching Meng tomorrow. My mother warned me not to bring Marcus goes out at night.

I have made my final decision that I will only enroll Marcus to kindergarten few months later. Many people around me said that it’s too young for him, so pity and bla..bla…bla…The principle of the kindergarten told me that actually only kids above 30 months are accepted to join, but she lets Marcus join in after seeing him that day.

I know many kids are send to nursery school at his age even below 1 year old. That’s because no one taking care of them while their parents have to go to work. Since I have my mother in law and a maid with me to take care of him, so just let him free from school for another few more months.

The school fees are quite expensive too, if I let Marcus to start next month, I need to pay RM283 monthly, where other fees like musikgarten, books, uniforms are not included. It is worth if he can learn something there. I got to know the increasing school fees for some other kindergatens too. Geee….daddy and mummy have to work hard to earn more for kid’s education. I always hope that he can grow faster so that I can send him for music class, drawing class and computer class too. *kiasumum* ???  May be, but I just want my kid to be well developed and educated. LOL!!!

I went to a montessori kindergarten for enquiry with my mother in law and Marcus this afternoon. My mother in law always hope to let Marcus to go to kindergarten to mix around and learn something, so am I. But my parents, relatives and some of my friends said that he is too young to go nursery. Well, it’s just a half day from 8.30am to 12pm.

He was too scared to step into the house and wanted to play outside with Mummyinvain’s son only. Yes, her son studying there and I can see that he learns a lot these months. My kid didn’t want to go home and only sticked around with the slide and those toys houses.

The principle told me my kid is the youngest if he joined in. Wow, small baby in the school. On the way back home, my mother in law told me that Marcus is too young to join in and better wait until he is 30 months old. Since she saw every kids there know how to wear their shoes, but not her grandson. Geee….he can learn over there….

Anyway, I still not decide and let see what my hubby says tonight.

Marcus is getting playful and naughtier than before. I’m not agree to use cane as punishment. Most of the time my hubby will handle him, showing his fierce face and stare at him. My boy will scare and thus keep quiet as he knows that his father is angry. If he still naughty then hubby will scold him. He is smart and that’s why when he see hubby’s fierce face, he will keep his mouth shut. Just for one minute. LOL!!!

I was angry when Marcus threw all my folder clothes on the floor, again and again. I asked hubby came to handle him. Then, hubby used the clothes clipers to clip on his toes and hopefully he will scare. But this little boy seemed nothing and laughed with us. Huh, he thought we’re playing with him. *slap head*

Today is the first day of school reopens, I’m sure many parents are busy sending their children to school. How I hope I can be one of them. But not too fast as Marcus is too young to go to school now. Well, some of my students’ parents told me that their children need to reach school earlier every day as they have to study Chinese Poeam for half and hour before the class starts.

Huh, it’s not easy to be a student nowadays. They need to study many subjects and doing tonnes of homework every day. I’m worry how my son going to handle all these tasks when he is in primary. Geee….is it still early for me to think about that ???

Anyway, I need to get ready for him. *kiasumum* I bought a Chinese Poem - Tang poetry book months ago, but I haven’t start to read it to Marcus till today. As most of them are new to me, mummy needs to study and understand first before she can teach her son.

We went to Ipoh Parade after breakfast as hubby wanted to buy some table calendars for his customers yesterday. When we reached Popular book store, Marcus looked like a free bird, walked here and there to find books. Even though he doesn’t know how to read, but he was very concentrate on the book he picked.

He didn’t want to put back the book and cried for it. Hubby didn’t want to queue up and pay money again as there are lots of people. I also didn’t want to buy the book first as it’s for children writing.

Hubby told him that he needed the book to pay money, then he let go it. We felt guilty that lied to him (*slap head*). No choice but have to do that. So, we brought him to have a sit in the mini trolley car. He was extremely happy and forgot about the book. LOL!!!

My aunty passed away almost 10 years and left 3 little kids. The kids become adult nowadays. They didn’t further their studies after secondary school as they have no money, somemore their father left them alone many years ago. What an irresponsible father in the world.

One of my cousin is working now and he hope to proceed his studies. I told him that he can pursue the course at home through capella university while working. It is an accredited, fully online university that offers graduate online degree programs in different fields.

I do hope that he can finish his degree course and get a better offer job.

Even though Marcus is 23 months old only, but I have planned for his future. I’m so keen to look for montessori school for him and hope to send him there when he reach 3 years old. Besides that, I have think which is the best primary and secondary school for him when he grows up. Am I too fast to think about it?

Well, I will let him choose his favourite course and university, if he wants to further his studies. But I will recommend him to go for Online Learning through Capella University. This acccredited online university offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology as well as bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology.

Anyway, I will definitely let him choose by himself.

I know that it is still early to let Marcus to learn how to write, draw or color. It should wait at least one more year. But I was so keen to let him hold pen or pencil. See, doesn’t he looks smart when holding the crayon ??? My mother said me crazy that I bought crayon, color pencils and coloring books for him to color as he is only 22 months old. Geee….but see, she is the one who is teaching him ???

 

DENG! DENG! DENG! DENG!

This is my son’s new play & study room. Finally hubby was free to help me to fix the book shelves, toys rack, desk and chairs from IKEA yesterday. Thank you, dear !!!

Marcus likes the room much and of cause me too. He will only take story books and ask me to read for him each time he comes to the room. He seldom play with the toys, funny huh ?

I still have to buy more toys, books, and other accessories for this room. So, my friends out there, do bring your kids to my house more often and let them play and read together with Marcus. It’s no fun to play alone.

Even though Marcus is only 21 months old, but I have planned for his future education. There are so many colleges and universities these days that make us hardly to choose. Well, if I were to choose a good college or university for Marcus in future, I think I would look at many criteria.  

The university must have online excellent programmes for undergraduates and graduates. Besides that, it must be accredited by established well-known bodies and established for more than 20 years. Not only that, I need the university that have a good quality and quantity of students from all over the world.

Wow…wow….wow….I’m free and relax when I back to my home yesterday. Kissing and hugging my lovely son is so wonderful. But he was still taking his afternoon nap when I back. He wanted me to read story books to him when he woke up. Oosshhhh….mummy very tired after read him few pages. So, I asked hubby to help me out. Now, he wants us to read story books every now and then.

Well, daddy not going out for any entertainment and helped me to read it to him before he goes to bed last night. He can sit there for long if we keep on reading the books. Besides that, he will laugh and kiss when he see those cartoons that he likes.

I’m glad that my hubby is patient to read him books and Marcus can listen quietly to what his daddy read

I was amazed with the high tech and advanced technology and communication nowadays. LifeSize Video Conferencing Systems enable us to enchance the remote communications for instructors and students. Well, I still remembered during my college time that instructors using video conferencing as one of the teaching material. It helps to create a learning environment where all get together in the same room.

I read story books to Marcus before he goes to sleep every day. As I’m not with him this few days, so daddy responsible to read it to him. He called me if I have other bedtime story books. Oh, I bought 2 story books from LadyBird Level 1. Actually there are total of 6 story books per level. Well, I promised that I will buy something for my son every week when I’m in KL.

I went for shopping at Mid Valley this afternoon and I bought the rest of the books. I also bought him a Barney book and hope he will like it. Even though we always keep on reading the 2 books, but Marcus seems very interesting and never feel bored.

I’m having problem on writing when I was in college. Most of the time I couldn’t write a good essay or article for my final year assignment or project. No one helps me except my lecturers. Now, you can get help from Custom Essay rather from your lecturer.

Custome Essay was a place where you can have a good essay or article written that 100% meet your need and requirement. They offer professional essays, term papers, research papers and other academic assignments writing, editing and proofreading assistance.  Buying essays are one of the services from them and your written assignments are free from plagiarism.

It is very important to keep ourselves updated with advanced technology nowadays. I’m surprised that many young children know how to use computer and they even know the latest changing technology. I got to know that many educators were promoting children’s learning VCD series for students for different ages. It is the best that to invest in a student laptop.

I want to get a computer for my boy when he grows up. Teach him how to learn computer in a proper way. Looking through a Laptop Shop from Dell, there are wide selection of home users and business types in the market. I can’t wait for my son to grow up and teach him about kid’s education through a laptop.
 

I started to read bedtime stories to my boy few days ago. Actually I have bought few bedtime story books in Chinese and English version months ago but I keep it in the book shelf. Since he always sleep late, I dare not to read to him.

He is now almost 20 months old, I think I must start to read bedtime stories to him. He listened to what I’m said, ok, just for few seconds, grab the story book and flip here and there by himself. After read the story book, I will sing some nursery rhymes before he goes to sleep. I enjoy every moment of it. 

Frankly, I never know that it is not easy to be a professional real estate agent. It was the first time that I heard where real estate agent need to go through real estate test.

The Compu-Cram Exam Prep Software is to help you prepare for the test and many people pass on the first try for their exam by using this software.

I like to learn algebra when I was in secondary school. I always got high marks in this subject. I do hope that Marcus likes this subject too when he grows up.  Now, children can have their Algebra Tutoring from Club Z where it is the world’s largest one-on-one tutoring program. Their tutors have helped over 100,000 students to improve their grades, raise their test scores, learn productive study skills, build their academic self-confidence, and reach their full potential.

Hubby and I brought Marcus to MPH last night. Hubby decided to go there as he wanted to buy A-Z alphabet book for Marcus. My MIL told hubby that her friend’s grandson, 2 years old can read all 26 alphabets. Hubby jeolous and wants his son to learn it.

Surprised, Marcus likes books much. I didn’t expect that boys like books. They should like toys or others. Anyway, I was happy to see him sit down quietly and took the books flick here and there. I have bought some flash cards for him, and he knew more than 10 words now. If I ask him to pick the “flower” card for me, he can pick up the card although he still don’t know how to read it.

All parents are concerned over their kids’ education and would search the best programs to excite, motivate and stimulate them when they grow up. With most things going online these days, adult education is no exception.

At Capella University, is an online university that offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, and psychology, and bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology. For those parents who really cannot afford their children to further studies in overseas, their children can sign up for the online degree course while working to earn money. For more information, you can visit to the site shown above. Don’t hesitate for an equires if you have any doubt.

It is fun to learn Maths, especially for the concept of addition and subraction. It is a challenging task for young children. I personally like Maths a lot and I hope my kid will also like it too.

In order for young children to focus on it, the method of teaching must be fun and easy. It is quite hard for parents to teach their children. For me, I definitely will get Math Tutors for my son when he reach 4 years old.

I have a cousin, Janet who is 16 years old now, is a very troubled teen. She really makes her parents very angry about her behavior, attitude and characteristic. She doesn’t like to listen to people especially when her parents give her advise. Her parents very sad about their daughter and told my mother that they really don’t know how to teach her again.

They thaught to send her to oversea to continue her studies. Once I know that, I told my aunty not to send her to oversea as she will getting naughtier because no one will teach and counselling her. They agreed with me but they don’t have anymore choose.

I have gone through some information about Boot Camps and Military Schools from Help My Teen lately from my friend. My friend told me about this information because her brother also is a troubled teen. She share information with me and hope that I can also help my cousin.

Help My Teen is an organisation in counseling and connecting families with appropriate situations for their troubled teen over 20 years experience. They have been able to direct many besieged and divided families towards healing and unification to a common goal through a network of associates and programs.

So, if you have troubled teen in your family, don’t give up on their child but direct them to a long and productive future.
