Homework, homework, homework..

Since school term started, me and hubby have been putting in effort to teach the kids at night. We both feel that just by them attending school, it's never enough to prepare them when they go to P1 and beyond. They need extra one-to one study sessions.

So nowadays the routine after we arrive home from work is bathe, eat, then sit down for an hour and go through Maths and English assessment books with the both of them. Hubby teaches Kyle, while I concentrate on Kyra.

Kyle is quite self-motivated, so its quite easy after he grasps the concept and wants to continue on his own. Kyra, on the other hand still need lots of guidance and she tends to lose focus quite fast. But of course, we parents must never give up and perservere for their sake :)

It's tiring, I must admit, after a long day in the office, and I have contemplated sending them to the tuition centre. But finances are tight, and as hubby explained, as parents, we are the best source of information and motivation for them. So I am determined to go through this with him for our children.
