Contrary to what the Doctor said about keeping Tee challenged by learning a new language yet keeping her within her same age group, we have decided against it. We really don’t want to send her to a Chinese School.
I have always been the youngest amongst my peers throughout my school career despite being a March child because I had skipped 2 years. Back then, you could skip years. In my school anyway. I never really noticed any difference between myself and my peers. I knew they were older but it didn’t change anything. They were still all my friends. Academically, we were compatible. I beat them at some exams, they beat me in some. It was all very competitive but it was a healthy kind of competition. More importantly, I had a great time at school!! I took leads in school plays, I played competitive sport, I was very active in extra-curricular activities (including boys) and I still kept my grades up. I had good fun in school.
Perhaps one may say that this was when I’d already developed all my motor skills after Primary One whereas Tee is still 4.5 years old but I think it is all psychological. If the child is encouraged and explained why everyone else is older, she really should be fine. And I know Tee is mature enough to understand a lot of things. They can almost be brainwashed still. It’s the same as selling a concept to an adult. I can still brainwash many adults if there was a need, which is why I was always told I’d be a good lawyer.
I also feel that if work in school is so easy for Tee, then what? Well, she’d have to learn how to be resourceful for challenges. There is so much to learn in this world that you cannot possibly be bored!If you’re bored, you’re boring!!!
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
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.
