Q: I regret going overboard with PSLE preparations when my older son sat the examination two years ago. Three months before he took it, he complained of feeling burned out and anxious over my expectations of him. I want to take a gentler approach with my younger son, who is taking the PSLE in 2026. Is January is too early to start preparing for it? What is the best way to get my son started? What do the experts advise?
