How true this is, but how do we make Singaporean parents understand that early childhood is not about learning primary school syllabus in advance ? #parenttown

Hi Edmund, Good question but really thought so hard about it. I am a parent to one primary and one pre school. Of course I support your idea that all child should be given their own pace for their development. All parents definitely want their child to be happy and healthy. But when comes to primary, the expectation is totally different from pre school altogether. If the child still taking their pace, the parents will be worry whether their child will be leftout in the society. There are many cases of suicide of teenagers when they failed to meet the parents' expectation or society's expectation. Maybe this can be a wake up call for all parents not to instil their expectation to follow the society.
