#Perspective / Students vs society: Why our kids need more than just grades

I’m not here to take sides, but I want to ask: Why are we so quick to question the students when reports started coming in of some crossing the line?

Parenting 101: How to say ‘no’ without becoming the villain

Parent-child bonding is the most priceless relationship in the world. No one wants to jinx it in life for anything in the world! Yet, there are times when parents are compelled to set boundaries over children’s impulsive actions.

A new school for your child? What parents need to know

Transitions are hard at any stage of life, but for a school-going child, it can be particularly difficult. Children resist change just like adults and feel stressed about unfamiliar surroundings, the challenges of making new friends and missing the comfort of old ones.

How to conquer mum guilt: A guide to self-compassion and balance

“Mum guilt” usually stems from the belief that they are not doing enough for their children. It can be emotionally exhausting, impacting not only their mental health but also their overall well-being. Fortunately, with the right strategies, it is possible to help mothers eventually overcome this guilt and embrace a more balanced and fulfilling life.

#Parenting / Tech parenting: The fine line between convenience and neglect

Technology transforms parenting with sterilised bottles and nanny cams, offering reassurance and convenience. However, overreliance risks eroding vital parent-child bonding. Educating parents on children's developmental needs helps prioritise genuine interactions over excessive screen time.

#Perspective / How clothing can hurt our children

As parents or guardians of new-borns to 14-year-olds, it is our partial responsibility to ensure their safety and well-being. One aspect that often goes unnoticed is the clothes we choose to buy for them. While outside or local clothing options may seem convenient, they can pose certain dangers which are hardly taken seriously.

#Perspective / Parenthood tips: The psychology of sharing a bed with your children

Bedsharing has got to be one of the most debated topics in modern parenthood. While safety experts continuously warn against it, more and more child development research suggest that the practice is beneficial for children, both biologically and psychologically.

#Perspective / Can you spoil a baby?

Plenty of new and old parenting guides will tell you that you can spoil babies by holding them too much. Or rocking them to sleep. Or co-sleeping. Or cuddling and kissing. Fortunately for babies and for parents who are constantly pressured to fight against their natural instinct and hold off on responding to their children’s cries, science says you CANNOT spoil babies.

Why daycares are important for working parents

Despite the growing need, the number of quality daycare centres is still relatively low in the country.
