Education for preschooler

Today I will be recollecting my memories on how i educate my son during his preschooler days. In a wink he Is going to pri 1 next year. He was a late bloomer as he only started walking at 16 months and his speech was as late as 3 years.
I remembered how scared I was and brought him to the speech therapist. But I wasn't very impressed as I felt that I could do the same thing at home without having to waste that kind of money. I started buying simple writing books more on English and maths. I taught him a to z alphabet first then to numbers. Lastly was the subject chinese because I wasn't very good in it. Lol..
He has poor memory so I have to keep repeating it until I got so fustrating.  When he was in k1, the teacher say he couldn't understand simple english instructions.  I made up my mind to speak to him in English at home.  Tremendously he pick up quite fast. I'm the lazy kind who wouldn't read much to him therefore I discipline myself to at least give him 30 mins a day to coach him in writing colouring etc.
Surprisingly towards the end of k1 he pick up all the skills.
I was a bit more kiasu, I started teaching things like 1 year in advance. Example I taught him pri 1 English and maths when he was in k2. I invested into popular assessment books a lot. And effort really pays off. When I brought his pri 1 books, he  already know how to do the whole textbook. Except for Chinese he is weaker, I have no choice but to send him to tuition every week.

My heart is at ease at least he knew all the fundamentals and he would not have to struggle eith his work when he goes to school next year. Now I'm going to start him on P2 books.

Lol.. yup all parents are kiasu to some extent. But I also ensure that he has ample rest on weekends so no homework during the weekends. He can play as hard as he like.
Talking about school holiday I'm more flexible I allowed him on alternate days to do revision. But when school reopens, no jokes, Monday to Friday he got to work hard for me as that's my expectations. So far so good..

Anger management is another issue. U tend to have your blood boil when they just dun seems to understand where you are coming from. I admit I lose my cool most of the times. I even have to bring out the cane at times when he refused to listen. But I always regret after that. I cool down and I explain to him why I scolded him. Then I try to tell myself I must be patient with him. Hard to put it into actions but I tried ok...

Im not afraid to say sorry. I do apologise to him if I'm too harsh to him. I think parents shouldn't always think that yeah I'm adult you know?
We ought to respect them as part of family. And knowing that he actually likes the softer part of me so I try my best to be on my best behaviour. .. lol...
