Nowhere are parents as crazy as here in Singapore. There is a Hokkien word used here, "kiasu", which translates to "a fear of losing that is used to describe someone who is overly competitive." While we were dropping off Jean's niece at ballet class this morning at the mall, I noticed many small businesses aimed at kiasu parents. They were targeting parents of four year olds - here are some of the classes they can attend to prepare themselves for 1st grade!!
