If your child (well, four year old that is, I can only speak for four year olds right now), gets enough sleep throughout the night (ie 12 hours sleep straight or 12 hours inclusive of daytime naps) and is STILL feeling tired, it probably means that they are being stimulated at school. Unless of course, you are stimulating them yourselves!
My pediatrician said that children who come home from school who are not tired at all, probably don’t do much at school. Many pre-schools in KL are really just glorified child care centres. It is good money after all, to round up some kids and offer parents some relief.
If they move around a lot, they will be tired. If they don’t move but use their brain a lot, they will ALSO be tired. The more they do, the more tired they are.
I guess my point is, parents need to ask themselves what their motivation is for sending their children to school. Is it :-
- because that’s just what everybody does?
- because I need a regular break from the child?
- because I want my child to keep up with his peers?
- because I want my child to learn something (and then you need to ask yourself, learn what exactly?)
- because I want my child to have fun?
- because I want my child to be successful?
- because I want my child to socialise? (any criteria?)
- because of all of the above reasons?
Because this would help you determine where you want to send your child and how much you are willing to pay for a solid foundation, which is really the most important foundation in your child’s life. More important than University or College.
