What is the best school for my children? I have a two-year old and a one-year old sons. People around me are starting to ask when are they going to school? If it were up to me, they will probably start school at around 4 years old; same time I went to school. If I were to base it on the trend nowadays, our eldest should be enrolled this school year.

I believe and this is backed up by some experts that studying should start in the home. The usual reason parents send their children to school early is that no one can teach them in their house. For those who are privileged enough to stay at home with their kids, homeschool them.

I found this "school" where they teach you on how to homeschool your kids. Of course they have a product to sell but I am quite convinced. My husband and I still have a year or so to decide where to send our kids. With God's guidance, we pray that we can give them the best.

Having children is a great responsibility. A few years back, a well respected toy brand was positive for lead in their products. Of course we have heard Canada recalling all baby bottles and sippy cups with Bisphenol A (BPA). There are a lot of these being discovered recently. As parents we should be aware of these developments and research on them. It also pays to have a pedia who is well informed.

I had this blog for a long time but never got the chance to use this. I'm still thinking of what the purpose of this blog will be but hopefully it would be something useful and worthwhile.
