Helping Parents Succeed
This idea was mooted after our highly enjoyable trip to Tanjung Sepat and Sepang Gold Coast.
After some planning and research, 3 families (SP family, Lee family, and my family) had finally agreed to participate in a road trip to Sekinchan and Kuala Selangor last Sunday. In total 7 adults and 5 children.
When we want something so badly, it won’t happen. But when we aren’t noticing, it comes… oftentimes at an unexpected time.
I am talking about child growth and development.
Sometimes children can give us the shock of our life by showing amazing skills that we think they don’t possess – if they are given enough time and the right environment.
Having children who don’t eat in the family is one of the many problems parents face today.
To top it off, some of these children only eat junk food like potato chips, sweets and candy, jelly, biscuits, chocolate, ice-cream, fries, etc.
When it comes to proper meals, they run for the hills. But when they are offered junk food, they are like bees to honey.
Totally upside down…

I am impressed, to say the least, the principal actually took time to organize such an event – out of her busy schedule.
A week ago, my wife, J, and I attended a special Mother’s Day function at K’s kindergarten.
I thought the response would be lukewarm as it fell on a week day. But to my surprise, almost all parents came and joined in the fun, except parents of 3 kids.
My 7-year-old daughter has been going to Primary One since January this year.
I am glad J would share with us stories of what has happened to her in school that day, especially during dinner. I encourage that. After all, that is the best way to find out more about her school life.
Here are a few stories I pick up along the way and I would like to share them with you here. Also I am going to tell you how I (my wife too!) handled each one of them.
