Every parent wants the best start for the children in life. In terms of getting the children into the best school in the country, or out of the country, enrolling them in various enrichment courses such as Creative Writing, Entrepreneurship as early as age 9, computer classes like Flash, Microsoft and sometimes, even crash courses in JavaScript.

While the IT lessons may be exaggerated for those aged 9, the others aren’t. All the lessons need money. Lots of money. Not every family can afford it despite the parents both working hard full time. Even ballet, martial arts to help the kids’ health, all need money, more than the enrichment classes that schools have subsidised for them.

Whatever in life that parents want to give to their children, it’s always the best possible option. Parents just want their children to have a better life than they do, no matter what the financial situation is. If it helps their children to get ahead faster than other children in class, for example, better mathematics calculations in their heads, they will send them off to abacus classes. If it helps the children to do better in spelling, they will send them off to courses that teach the kids on phonics.

All these efforts are done in hopes of helping the children to do better in life and perhaps have a better lifestyle in future. The things that parents do while the children are too young to understand have all been done in hope. Hope that the children will grow up to be useful people and an added bonus is to be well-known in a good name.

However, how many are really able to do it in the current situation when subsidised courses come with a condition that not all may qualify for the subsidies / scholarships / bursaries? In this case, how do parents really help their children get a good start in life?
