Both her children are now enrolled in local public schools.<\/p>\n<p>According to the actress, they would usually travel back to Taipei during the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut because my son is taking the PSLE this year, we don&#8217;t dare travel overseas,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be a lie to say I&#8217;m not nervous. Every parent worries. My son has a school he hopes to get into, and as parents, we naturally hope he can achieve his goal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, to Yvonne, the past decade she&#8217;s spent accompanying and guiding her children have not been in vain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve instilled the right values in them, so they&#8217;re quite self-disciplined when it comes to studying,&#8221; said the actress.<\/p>\n<p>Yvonne also enjoys being by her children&#8217;s side while they study.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son feels more at ease when I&#8217;m beside him [while he&#8217;s studying],\u201d she quipped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI often tell my children not to leave everything until the last minute. If they revise regularly, they&#8217;ll feel more confident and won&#8217;t see exams as something frightening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  { if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n   n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n   if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n   n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n   t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n   s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n   'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '686778738188379');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.8days.sg\/entertainment\/local\/yvonne-lim-son-psle-859661\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who has been through the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) with their child knows that preparation often begins months in advance.
