Symptoms of a KS Mum

I have all the while thought i am a very relax mum when it comes to Nick. Afterall, i never did any flash cards with him, enrichment programs, alphabets or anything of such when he was much younger. So much so that when he was 3.5yo, i became very worried.... Is he slow, is he having learning difficulties, is he having some kind of problems etc was what i used to ask myself and some of my girlfriends.
  
From then on, he had to learn to write ABC, i had to think of ways to get him motivated to study etc.. From bribery to praising him etc.. You name them.. I probably tried them all..
  
Come this year, just 2 months shy from his 4th birthday, i became worse! Not that i realized it earlier.. But i started reading about Analytical Skills, Advanced Reasoning Skills, Language and Communication Skills etc that i decided to sign him up for the program. Then came the math programs that incorporate both Analytical Skills and Advanced Reasoning Skills as well.. 
  
Today, just 10 minutes back.. I was reading an article on the MPM program that Nick is attending and realized that they actually recommend and take in students 5yo and above! 
  
Hey! Isn't Nick learning it a bit too early then? So he is not slow afterall?  Gosh!  I am just another typical KS Mum robbing my son off his precious childhood!!

Nick and his Weird Behavior

Nick's been going for classes at MPM and Enopi centres lately.

When we first brought him for the assessment test at both MPM and Enopi, he was unwilling to attend classes.. He's always crying before we reach the centre. Lately, the behavior changed! He's been requesting to go for classes every day, every hour and to the extend of sleeping on the floor, crying, cos he wants to go for classes!

How will you read this behavior? Should i sign him for classes more often? He's currently attending classes 4 times a week. Should we do it on daily basis? But it will burn a big hole in my pockets :(
