Ryan is going to turn 3 in a few months and up to now, he’s never really been socialising much with other kids. He does play with adults and older children, but never kids at his age.
We’re thinking of sending him to play school next year but before that, I thought it might help to send him to some interactive sessions like Gymboree to get him used to the idea of mixing around and learning together.
Anyone has any thoughts on this? I haven’t checked out what are the options of such classes for kids his age, I only know and heard of Gymboree. Any similar ones which you highly recommend?
We’re also trying to encourage Ryan to pick up Mandarin language. He speaks only English now and doesn’t quite want to learn Mandarin even when the babysitter tries to teach him a few words here and there. I suppose he finds it a bit of an alien language after being exposed to only one language so far. So if there are some of these classes where kids are also encouraged to pick up a second language, that’ll be great for him too. Or at least be exposed to other kids who speak Mandarin so that he will want to learn the language and communicate with his new friends.
How fast kids grow these days…I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since he came along. From the days this blog talked about him as a baby, today I’m talking about education and school already.
It won’t be long before I start talking about college and university too, huh? 
But that’s looking too far forward…by then not sure whether this mummy still has the stamina to blog, more likely being online to search for wrinkle cream write-ups like prototype 37c reviews. Haha!
But I’m sure I’ll have a blast of a time being a mummy all through the stages of “growing pains”…
