给孩子选择一个合适的兴趣班并不容易。有时候，孩子可能对课程不感兴趣；而年纪更小的孩子，则可能难以集中注意力或适应课堂节奏。家长们常常需要尝试几个不同的课程，才能找到最适合自己孩子的那个。敏敏和毛毛的孩子上的是不同的课，他们在课堂上的表现也很不一样。敏敏甚至没有让儿子继续上游泳班，而是自己在家教他游泳的基础动作。她是怎么做到的呢？一起来听听她的分享吧！

Choosing a good enrichment class for kids is not easy. Sometimes, a child may not be interested, or a younger child might struggle to engage with the class. Parents often need to test different programs before finding the one that is best or most suitable for their children. Minmin and Maomao's kids are taking different classes, and their behavior in class is very different. Minmin also taught her son the basics of swimming instead of continuing at a swim class, come listen to how she did it!

In preschools, kids begin to actively learn subjects like math, language, and social skills. The quality of their learning experience heavily depends on the teachers and the environment. Therefore, choosing a good and suitable preschool requires considering many factors. We talk about the different learning styles of the preschools, such as Montessori, play-based, and academic-based, along with the criteria we used to evaluate schools. Maomao had a list of school options and explained why she chose some and eliminated others. Which schools did we pick? Listen to find out!
