Of course it's none of my business, your kid your business...your kid, not my business. But enough said, my heart ached a little when I saw 2 parents shouting very LOUDLY at a very very young kid who is at most 3 years old. Is this the correct way to teach a young little one? The father continued to shout loudly in the carpark and bang the door really loud and zzzzzooooooooooooooom off very fast. I have a little one myself and YES, even little ones listen to reasonings. If you can't reason out with your little one, it's because you do not communicate much with your kid...and communication with little ones is very important in building logical thinking and reasoning skills. I hope young parents here set a good example and do not resort to shouting. Yes it's important to firm, but you do not have to loud till the whole estate can hear you. It's counterproductive and it shows what lousy parents you are.

This causes traffic congestions. Other disadvantages: 1. the kids will not learn how to be independent eg using public transport etc 2. the kiids will only see the world in aircon comfort from dad's car's window... no chance to see how heartland pple use public transport 3. the idea of 'bonding' between parents and kids in the car is guaranteed: kids just nap in the car or listen to MP3, play HP games etc 4. nagging by parents in the car deprive the kids peace before reaching school 5. parents have to wake up extra early to go school before starting work 6. worst still: tai tai buys extra car to fetch kids (depriving others who need car/COE more urgently) 7. too many cars outside school / pedestrian crossing:- dangerous for school kids who walk 8. maid got one extra car to wash 9. (pls add) Dont know about you, my bro and I took buses from Farrer Park area to school in Siglap when we were only in P4...... nowadays kids or too sheltered and soft Suggest schools ban cars within 200m of main gate. TP fine cars with school kids above p4 during morning rush hours. If kids need fetching due to health reasons, ok.

I realise youngsters nowadays (from Pri to tertiary) do speak with an angmo slang for english and seems that they are struggling very hard to speak their own mother tongue. ie mandrian. Is it because parents nowadays speak english at home and resulting their children becoming mono-lingual ? Occasionally, I could see youngster/school student struggling hard to converse in simple mandrian. ie placing order for mixed rice. BUT.. I dont see our malay and indian youngsters struggle to speak both english and their mother tongue well.

A STOMPer was appalled to see a Facebook posting made by a woman, who bragged about stealing food from a buffet at a restaurant for her kids at home. Said the STOMPer: "I saw these photos online plus the caption saying that she took food from the buffet at Sakura restaurant for her kids at home. "What kind of mother is she? She goes out and enjoyed the food. But she steals food for her kids? "As you can see she has the money but why must she do that? Plus she's lucky the staff at the restaurant did not notice what she was doing. "Come on lah, Singaporeans. "You willing to dine but not pay more for your kids?. Tsk tsk. "And she proudly posts her deeds on facebook for all to see. "I think this woman is too much."

What is happening????? Now I see all the basketball courts and badminton courts are literally occupied for the whole day all weekends by pinos!!!!! at least at yishun. And this pinos are not small boys who are there to play but full grown adults and there are tens of them at a single court. I used to see teenage chinese boys playing at the baskeball courts over the weekend not long ago (about a year ago) but wonder where are this boys force to go and play now.....or just wondering whether there are any courts left for this boys to play nowdays? I hope these boys dont resort to other immoral activities when they are deprived from what they were enjoying doing most. :angry:

Trio beat boy, stripped him and filmed hour-long ordeal They also tried to extort $800; 2 get reformative training, third to be sentenced next month A 15-year-old boy was beaten, stripped and humiliated by three thugs who filmed his hour-long ordeal and then tried to extort $800 from him. The trio took the boy to a deserted tennis court at the Jurong West Sports and Recreation Centre, where they rained punches and kicks on him before ordering him to strip to his underwear. They made him lie down and took turns standing on a metal drain cover that was placed on his naked chest. The victim was then ordered to take off his briefs and wear them on his head, while shouting 'underwear king' in Mandarin. He was then told to run 20 laps around the tennis court, and was also made to do star jumps.

I went out with a bunch of old pals today. One of them revealed something extremely bizarre. This friend of mine is divorced for almost 10 yrs, he is practically a good dad because for the past 10 yrs his been taking care of the kids (school allowances, daily expenses, meals, weekly outings - every week for the past 10 yrs). Recently he accompanied his daughter for a full body checkup (required by school) and at the same time itchy backside went to take a DNA sampling test together with the full body checkup. Results came out 1 week later that the match is negative!! So meaning this chap is actually a cuckold feeding for someone else's child?? He sounded very sad when he revealed all these but still cant bear to leave "his" daughter since they been together for almost 16yrs! Life can be pretty simple and confusing at times. What would you do if something like this happens to you?? Would you leave them or continue?? One thing for sure is i will stop paying alimony!

The sight of this man in his soaked, see-through briefs at this playground at the Singapore Zoo shocked STOMPer Joanne. The fact that he was dressed indecently like this in front of children and their parents only made it worse. Joanne wrote: "I brought my kids to their favourite water playground at the Singapore Zoo. "This man was in his underwear, wet and translucent, playing happily (like a child) with the other children. "He was oblivious to the fact that his bum could be seen. "He was even seen playing on the slide. "This is a play area for kids. Although adult supervision is needed, parents must be in proper attire, at least in a pair of shorts. I don't understand why the staff let him play on the slide."

Hi all, I'm wondering what are the kind of jobs that you guys have done during teenage or even younger? By looking at the thread on median salary, can't help thinking that the younger generation is indeed luckier. Probably have more well to do parents and need not to slog hard to worry about schools fees and daily expenses. I remembered knocking at flats' doors selling biscuits after school, earning a daily income of just S$2. The most lucrative one is probably carrying the golf bags at sentosa golf course for the Japanese. Also worked part-time in Fast food chains as cashier, cigarettes factory as packer, nightclub as waiter, supermarket cashier, store clerk and etc. Time have changed and we are seeing more FTs fast taking up these jobs. I'm all for kids taking up part-time job not so much for the money these days but to let them expose earlier in handling real-life issues/situation, knowing how to interact with people and to realize the reality in life. Regards,

This writer did... though I am not sure if she herself understands it. http://news.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNew...510-277950.html My son teaches me how to vote My son summed up for me what it means to be a voter: to use your head, as well as your heart. -myp Tue, May 10, 2011 my paper By Clara Cho IT'S not easy explaining politics to a kid. This, I found out, during the recently concluded General Election season, which marked my five-year-old son's political awakening. "Mummy, why are there so many signs around our block with the same picture that is on my school uniform?" Julian asked me one day, pointing to the lightning bolt on his PE T-shirt. Trying to think of a simple way to explain the electoral system, I said: "There's going to be a big competition, in which everyone in Singapore is going to help choose a winner." I added: "The people competing are from groups called political parties." Julian then asked, referring to a story from the Thomas the Tank Engine series: "Is it like the competition that Gordon joined, on who was the best dressed?" I replied: "Um... yes, sort of. And the contestants are like Gordon, Percy and all the other engines in Tidmouth Sheds." Over a long dinner, the Supportive Spouse and I explained to Julian how political parties worked. In Politics 101 for kids, we introduced him to "the Government", which was made up of "people we chose to take care of Singapore, making sure we have homes to live in, jobs and workers to keep the roads clean and tidy". Putting things so simply tested my understanding of the system. But it also demonstrated that the principle of it was logically sound, so that even a kid could grasp it. We told Julian that Singaporeans were going to choose people for the government, from a pool of people who wanted to represent various parts of Singapore in the competition. And we told him that the Government, since independence, has been made up of People's Action Party members, and they have set up towns, hospitals and schools - such as the kindergarten he attends. We told him about opposition parties, and how they wanted to be voted into Parliament, so as to provide a different way of doing things. Different parties believe in different things, we said, and have different things they want to do for the country. The boy wanted to know more. And more. Rather than give him black-and-white answers, we felt it was important to explain things so that he could make up his own mind. We told him about how political parties would try to get voters to choose them, by promising them things. And the key was in deciding for yourself if the promises are what you want, and if the promising party is capable of delivering on them. "If two people ask you to vote for them as your parents, and promise that they'll buy toys for you and not scold you, would you choose them?" I finally asked my son. Julian shook his head: "No. I want you and Papa to be my parents. Because I love you." And, just like that, my son summed up for me what it means to be a voter: to use your head, as well as your heart. For more my paper stories click here.

I came upon this science textbook of a Primary 2 sch kid..out of curiousity, I flip thru the pages and was surprised that the content is pretty chim for a kid sia. Then I wonder, can the kids brain handle and digest it ? Does MOE assumes that humans born in the 60s and 70s are inferior to those born in 90s and beyond ? As such come up with chim chim standards in the textbooks.

Hi everyone, I have been looking around different places for kids' bicycles. Anyone knows the best places to buy from? Don't want to spend too much on a 12" or 14" bike. Maybe $50-80 maximum. Suggestions are most welcome!
