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.

Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
