Mother of two Vanessa Tan, 42, who has two children – daughter Megan Oh, 12, and son Tristan Oh, nine, – says her perception of school readiness has changed over the years.
Like many parents eager to give their kids a good head start, she sent her daughter to daycare when she was three. "She cried and cried everyday when we dropped her off and this went on for a month. Maybe she just wasn't ready for school but I didn't know it then," she says.
