Starting Young…Starting Fearless As parents, we’ve always believed in exposing our kids to a plethora of experiences. When they are younger, malleable and more flexible, it is far easier to teach them new skills.

However seeing how his elder sis loves to cycle, blade, swim and ski, he himself is keen … [Read more...]

Singapore Street Art – Haji Lane
Exciting. Evolving. Eclectic. Singapore is a global city that is constantly evolving. The Singapore which our kids will grow up in will be vastly different from that which we grew up in.

Lighting the Flame: From Students to Learners at The Learning Lab
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Aristotle A ‘Strange’ Phenomenon: I stood there witnessing something which is a rare sight these days — kids, on their own accord, excitedly walking to the bookshelves to pick out books for reading. As I waited, I peered in further. There, I saw the range of books ranging from classics, modern thrillers to general knowledge books. There is even a range of books catered for the GEP (Gifted Education Program) learners. … [Read more...]
Today Got Class – Make It, Code It Camp

OCBC Cycle 2017: Defining Moment for Daddy and Daughter
I’ve always believed that we need to expose our children to outdoor activities that develop their gross motor skills and confidence to master new sports. It’s important to start young when their physiques are smaller and their CG (Center of Gravity) lower. Their mindsets are also much more malleable, making them more receptive to learning new skills. As soon as my daughter became physically independent at 3 yrs old – being able to walk, run and jump confidently, we have started introducing … [Read more...]
