Tuitions: Not This Time

I know every parent wants their to be an achiever in academic they will do whatever necessary. For me, if needed i may send my eldest daughter,Qasrina to tuition. Before I do that, i need to put some considerations as she just 8 years old.

Who says mom never worries about her kids academic, Qasrina's math quite worrisome, she couldn't remember the multiplication. I'd questioned myself,does she need enrichment class or tuition? I still stand to my self-note,NOT THIS TIME!

I'm putting into consideration of tuition for Qasrina because of these reasons :

1) Little Missy is 8 yrs old

Let her enjoy the playtime. She had spend about 4 hours at the daycare..which sometimes TC Zaza will give her exercises to complete. Then she attended formal public school from 1.30pm to 6pm..after excluded the rest time,travell time..etc..roughly she spend at least 10 hrs for academics. OMG!! I can't imagine how tough her day was..not to forget sometime she has house chores to do..

2) We cannot afford the tuition fee

The fee is killing our pockets..eventhough me and my husband both working. We have to consider every single cents spent wisely. Not to say we're not care for my daughter enrichment with current economic conditions, we're very careful with budgeting. I did my survey on the fees, for Mathematic is cost around RM120-150..The fee was charge per subject.Let say I wanted my little Qina to attend Math and English classes, monthly budget will increase about RM 300-320. Living in the middle income family, cost is always a consideration.

3) Let her enjoy the playtime

Academic pressure is everyway, our child is subjected to get into this stress at their tender age. If I send her for another 3hrs tuition class..bare in mind this does not include her travel time,at least 1-2hrs..she'll lost the precious time she suppose to rest and play with the other kids. She should enjoying her right and create a memorable childhood stories.. And doing simple thing like play.

4) I want to spend my time with my kids

I'm a working mom,after a long day struggling with hectic traffic and office task, all i want to do is get home and hugs my kids. With a limited time 6.30pm -7.30am..why should I waste the bonding times?  I prefer to teach them myself and check their school bag. Weekend always be a family day, we play the puzzle, taking them to playground and such.

5) I trust my kids and accept the failure

Let them study for themselves,not to meet your expectation. Be rational our kids were not born as a genius, it's OK they sometimes fail in certain subjects, as study is clearly a learning process let them gain the survival skills on their own.

There is so much thing in life. Let them always be  kids, pour them with love, give their right to play.
