There is something that's been bugging me for some time.. Nick is a slow learner, but a very diligent one. Since we recognize that he's a slow learner, we naturally spend more time trying to send him on enrichment programs hoping it will help him in one way or another.
Problem is, after we start certain classes, Nick seems to enjoy learning as he picks up the skills and progress with confidence. By right, i should be glad. But the thing is, i dunno when is the right time to stop these classes especially when he enjoys going for them. Now, he's (perhaps is me and daddy) swamped with enrichment classes till we sometimes end up trying to think which he has on that day..
From Phonics - i can read, to Maths - MPM and Kumon (we manage to stop Enopi), Chinese - Berries, Music with Yamaha, Montessori with Mrs Yap.. We think it's a little too much we can manage.. Not to mention, both Sam and Grace also has their fair share of classes!
Lately, Nick's been asking for more.. He wants to pick up fencing, hip hop and Takwando. And seriously, i think we have over-spent on this boy!.
Nevertheless, given that he is only 4 turning 5 years old this year, we manage to convince Nick that fencing and Takwando will have to wait! As much as they enforce discipline in a child, we think that Nick still is too young to understand that such skills are meant for exercising and self-protection rather than to FIGHT. Last thing we need is for him to "practice" it on his little sister!
Ok, so for now, we started him on art classes and perhaps trying to look around for hip hop classes.. I hope his string of request stop growing longer, but on the other hand, am glad he's taken interest in them too. :)
