This is part 4 of 6 of my year in review of 2021. In this post, focus is on family or family stuff.
2021 is a good year for family. Most of the time was spent working from home, when I was home. One thing the pandemic did was to make people more home bound. This may be good or bad depending on a person, and of course your home conditions. I'm glad to say I am in the position where I prefer to be at home than out.
While often at home, we still went on some excursions. To use up the Singapore Rediscover Voucher. Now is a good time to go, where you don't need to squeeze with everyone, unlike pre- pandemic. This space when I go out is an uplift to my standard of living.
In terms of education, I start relying less on enrichment and more on books/ materials when teaching my kids. I realize what the centre can cover in a month is a fraction of what they can learn if you teach. And you can make teaching a lot easier by buying good materials such as books and follow the book. l come to see going enrichment centres as mainly for interaction with other kids, learning from one another and dealing with one another ( which I am poor at), or when I can't teach ( e.g. dance). Less enrichment means less travel too, and you end up with more time for other things. Though they end up playing more toys and watch more YouTube.
To summarize, 2021 is a year with ample time together with family.
