Sign your name &lsquo;Chris&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Auntie Mary,<br \/>&nbsp;How are you? Nice and brilliant days for me.&nbsp; How about Peter?&nbsp; Is he studying well in the two kindergartens?&nbsp; I&rsquo;m quite worried about him.<br \/>&nbsp;As he&rsquo;s only four years old, studying in two separate kindergartens will add pressure to him.&nbsp; I know he has to stay in kindergartens for nearly 10 hours a day.&nbsp; He will definitely get exhausted.&nbsp; Similar to us, when Peter gets tired, forcing him to study will backfire.&nbsp; Peter&rsquo;s only four.&nbsp; He needs time to play and study through games.&nbsp; So, receiving formal education in ONE kindergarten is perfectly fine already.&nbsp; The time left can let Peter participate in outdoor activities, like ball games, cycling and so on.&nbsp; I think these can benefit Peter more than now.<br \/>&nbsp;Besides, the long term effects of double schooling may not be beneficial.&nbsp; There is no concrete proof that double schooling can significantly improve children&rsquo;s abilities and talents.&nbsp; The theory of double schooling is quite ideal, but the practical results are not as satisfactory as expected.&nbsp; Maybe the children are &ldquo;pressurized&rdquo; by the heavy workload.&nbsp; Then they cannot study well.<br \/>&nbsp;Moral and civil education is crucial when Peter&rsquo;s young.&nbsp; Peter can learn and uphold the positive values &ldquo;taught&rdquo; or influenced by parents or seniors.&nbsp; I think that&rsquo;s more important than academic results.&nbsp; Peter&rsquo;s personality will be moulded by such invisible teaching.&nbsp; In order to let Peter be an upright person, I think forfeiting one of the kindergartens Peter&rsquo;s attending will bring long term benefits to him.<br \/>&nbsp;So Auntie Mary, please try not to force Peter to have so many kindergarten lessons.&nbsp; I hope he can enjoy a short but unforgettably happy childhood!<br \/>&nbsp;Please write soon.<\/p>\n<p>Yours,<br \/>Chris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topic: Your younger cousin, Peter, is only 4 years old.
