Preparing for WYCC 2013 - Comments/Suggestions, Much Appreciated

Been looking at various local Malaysian chess blogs on how to prepare a 6/7-year old kid for a major chess event. Unfortunately, my search ended with NO article/postings.

However, I did stumble upon some interesting articles as follows:-

(1) USA - http://www.utdallas.edu/chess/education-camp/pdfs/macenulty.pdf

(2) USA -  http://www.chess.com/blog/KaydenTroff/how-do-you-prepare-for-a-world-championship
