  My daughter went into hiding – stayed under the table until we promised her – no Mandarin classes! Simply refused to go to Chinese school….after the Chinese kindy. I remember she used to pick up the phrases the teacher used e.g. "Kui chai na pien!" (Kneel over there!)

    Do they still use this kind of disciplinary action in schools?

    Hmmm..

    Are they allowed to do that these days? Nevermind, I sit outside, anything I can still hear!

    Mommy Chums,

    Besides learning Mandarin, I need him to learn to be independent and to be away from me. Currently he is home-schooled for English, Maths and more so Mandarin has GOT to be somewhere else. I heard many ppl raved about this place so I'm trying. Crossing my fingers what I heard is right though. If not, I can always stop him immediately :D

    Elaine,

    I'll most probably scout other places but not to get a tuition teacher. I need Ethan to be in a 'school' with little children to play with. He's so bored of being in a one to one class with only him and the teacher. He needs friends :)

    Sasha,

    The 5 days and 3 days/week not much difference leh. Only RM50 so I dun mind sending him for 5 days straight as he has no one else to practice his Mandarin with at home. :)

  My son's classmates got a few go for this bao bei after class, but i think should be different branch from which you go la… Didn't know it's that expensive… but, they all said quite good la, lots of positive feedback~~~ But I didn't enroll him in , since I think 3 hours at school is already enough for him.. Hopefully, worth the money you paid for la..

      No need also lar. Ethan's mom is already an expert in teaching preschoolers. You already save money there! Why not splurge a little at Bao Bei right? :)

  Darren is attending Bau Bei too and I can tell you he LOVES it. He was a banana too when he first attended but now he talks to me in mandarin. SInce they are using flash cards method, Darren now can recognise over 300 words in 7 months time. He surprised me sometimes he can read those chinese signboard outside.

  I think you can start Ethan on 3 days first and it is still as effective coz Darren is only attending 3 days.

    That is nice to know, that it works on Darren. Haha… crossing fingers that it will do the same to Ethan :)

  Just a mandarin course for RM410, it is really expensive. Do more survey for other options before signing up.

  We also went to Bao Bei to enquire when we were in KL last month. I like their teaching method. The fees is expensive maybe bcoz they have classes everyday. We made up our mind to enroll Gwen once we moved back to KL.

  Hey Merryn!

  Thanks for your comment on my journey as a breastfeeding mother post! Don't feel bad for breastfeeding 3 months! You are better than some ppl I know, they don't even want to try breastfeeding from day 1! Such a waste!

  Anyway, hope your son will be able to grasp and learn Mandarin! So good of you guys to send him so early! We're going to look for a nursery/daycare (half day maybe) for my boy soon, so that at least I got a few hours with my Spicy Baby when she comes along in 1 months time!
