Helping Parents Succeed
By Abel Cheng
You could argue until the cows come home but to me TV can be an excellent educational tool if you know how to use it right. Of course, parents must play a role in making sure TV brings more good than harm to children.
I am surprised to find out J and K (now 6 and 3 respectively) are not couch potatoes. Meaning to say they don’t glue to the TV for long hours. Maybe due to the fact that we didn’t encourage it when they were young.

This is the 3rd time she did this, if I remember correctly.
I smiled with a great relief when J took over my duty. Just after school today, she volunteered to bathe K. More than happy, I agreed. Later, she took shower by herself. An achievement by itself.

We never had such a packed weekend. Just last weekend, it was full of non-stop activities. The children enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

He was coughing badly on Monday night and my wife thought it would be a good idea for K to rest at home the next day instead of going to kindergarten.
The air quality lately is terribly bad and many people fall sick. To make it worse is the outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1).
Fortunately, K was active as usual yesterday. His cough is bad only in the middle of the night, and lasts for 10-20 minutes. For no reason, magically he stops coughing after that. But when he coughs, I will try all available ideas to soothe him and put him back to sleep: giving him warm water, applying Vicks, carrying him, putting him on a higher pillow, and so on.
Today is the second day and we decided to send him back to kindy. Plus after staying home for a day, he himself requested to go to school.
Having a bad experience in the past, I really hope that K’s cough will not get from bad to worse.

I don’t know about you.
It’s very hard to find one dish that two of my preschool children love at the same time and say a resounding “yes” when I ask if they would like to have it for dinner.
In fact I myself love this dish. And I found out this by accident.
