Just what a busy working mum needs…

This is what I’ve been looking for. The strategies are practical and easy to remember. I’m having fun again with my two kids and time for myself. Thanks alot.

Simple but workable…

A few simple yet workable steps. The initial few weeks could be a little difficult as you have to consciously remind yourself on what to do. However, after a while, you and your kids will be able to follow the routine quite easily.

About Us

I have been teaching for more than 20 years. I have taught children from Primary One to Secondary School, ages ranging from 6 years old to 16 years old. I have the opportunity to see at least two different generation of pupils. However, with the advent of technology, now one generation has shrunk to 5 years.  The difference between one generation and the next has also become rather noticeable. I’m sure you would have heard friends lament that their eldest child and their youngest child, whose age difference is about 5 to 6 years, are very different in their behaviour. 

I obtained a Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Education. In the course of this diploma, we are taught various modules, like Child Psychology, Motivation and Discipline. I constantly upgrade myself and keep in touch with the latest happening in the field of education, through reading various publications and attending conferences. With the speed that the world around us is changing, it is important that we keep up with what is happening in the world. 

My over 20 years of teaching experience has stand me in good steed to deal with children of different ages. Besides, I have also played an active role in the upbringing of my nephew and nieces. My constant interaction with young children has also enabled me to observe their behaviour and how best to deal with them. My friends and I often meet up to exchange notes and experiences on how to manage the changing needs of children.

There are many stories and incidents I can relate to you to show why I became interested in helping parents bring up their children but there’s one that particularly left a deep impression in me. Let me tell you how this all started.  

One day, I requested a meeting with Alvin’s parents to let them know that their son was a bully in school. Alvin was a little bully who pushed his friends to get his way and took their things without asking for permission. The classmates were rather afraid of him as he was bigger than most children of his age. 
 
On the day of the meeting, I suddenly understood Alvin’s misbehaviour as he was an exact replica of his father. His father was a large and scruffy man who spoke in a rough and loud voice. His manners left little to be desired. When he knew that his son was a little bully in school, he just stood up and gave the poor fellow a tight slap across his cheek. Alvin cowered and started sobbing in a pitiful voice. 
 
When I saw Alvin’s father, I could see what Alvin would grow up to be like in another ten years time. His father was not a good role model. He believed in using force to get his way as he was literally “brought up by hand”. He knew no other language, except the language of force. 
 
Later, through numerous counseling sessions and under the teachers’ care and concern, Alvin gradually shed his tough exterior to reveal himself to be an adorable boy. 
 
Don’t hesitate any longer. Invest and play an active role in your child’s future.
