DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A KIA-SU MUM!

I am really not a kia-su mum.. some people wonder why i started looking for activity class for En and ended up signing him up with Kindermusik, unless I am THE kia-su mum..

I really am not.. En has been a very active baby since he learnt to crawl.. and we observed that he loves to watch other kids play when he is at the nanny's place - we often caught him watching in fascination when other children are playing, and burst out laughing for reasons only known to him..

Coupled with his seeming interest in music, so I thought to let him try the trail class and see if he would enjoy interacting with other kids.. it turned out that he enjoyed his trail class immensely.. esp. the props that were provided in the class.. to the extent that he was really reluctant to return them...

One direct benefit has been his increasing interest to walk, since he is the only baby in class that has yet to start walking on his own.. and the class also helps to expend his boundless energy as he crawls around and watches the other kids in fascination..

well, if he has not seem so animated or engaged in the class, it would have been a waste of money, but since he enjoys it and is engaged with the class, it seems really cruel to deprive him of the exposure.. I feel it all depends on the kid.. some kids seem less involved or engaged in class, but for me, so long as en has fun, it is money well spent... and when the fun stops, then there willl be less value in putting him through such classes.. until then, well daddy will still have to spend the weekly hour playing with him and the other kids in class! :)

It is not how much he can learn from the class, it is all about giving him a wider experience, especially those that he enjoys.. ! So I am NOT a kia-su mum!
