2月から週1でゆるりとスタートした小4の次女。
なんと本人から「もっと勉強したい！」と前向きなリクエストがあり、9月から週2日へ増やすことになりました！
それに伴い、習い事のスケジュールも見直し。
スイミングは目標だったバタフライまで泳げるようになったので、キリよく卒業！これで習い事は「塾」と「ピアノ」の2本に絞られました。
本人のやる気は親として本当に嬉しい……のですが、現実的な問題がひとつ。
兄弟割引が適用されているとはいえ、お月謝は月々44,000円……！
長女の塾代に続いて、我が家の教育費メーターがぐんぐん跳ね上がっています。
自分で「やりたい」と言い出した分、しっかり身につけてくれることを祈るばかりです。
My 4th-grade second daughter, who started cram school casually once a week back in February, came to me with a surprisingly positive request: "I want to study more!" So, starting in September, we’ve bumped her schedule up to twice a week!
Along with this shift, we also re-evaluated her extracurricular schedule.
She finally mastered the butterfly stroke—her ultimate goal in swimming—so she was able to graduate from the pool on a great note! Now, her activities are narrowed down to just cram school and piano.
As a parent, seeing her so motivated is truly wonderful… but there is one very real catch.
Even with a sibling discount applied, the monthly tuition comes out to 44,000 yen…! (Faint)
Following my eldest daughter’s cram school fees, our family's "education budget meter" is skyrocketing.
Since she took the initiative and asked for this herself, I just pray she really makes the most of it and absorbs everything!
