I’m grateful to have been interviewed by Chinese Zaobao to share one of my client’s growth journeys and some parenting tips on supporting children in today’s digital age.

Mobile phones and online games can quickly become addictive for children. Warning signs often show up early—like withdrawing to use devices, getting upset without screen access, or appearing distracted in conversations.

With early support, consistent family routines, and screen-free play, we can help children grow healthier habits. 🌿

Thank you to the families who allow me to journey alongside you—it’s always an honour.

Cheers

"My child just got a diagnosis. What should I do next?"

It’s overwhelming, and we get it. But a diagnosis isn’t the end. It’s the start of understanding your child better. Start with kindness and lead with calm.

Let’s shift the mindset:
👉 It’s not “what’s wrong with them?”
👉 It’s “how can I help them thrive?”

We’re here to walk this journey with you. WhatsApp us at 84955465 if you need support.

Life can be as unpredictable as snow in Australia — rare, surprising, and sometimes exactly what we didn’t know we needed. Here's to embracing the beauty of the unexpected. ❄️✨

Does your child melt down in malls or crowded places? 😞 It might be sensory overload — when lights, sounds, smells, and textures become too much for their brain to process.

They’re not being dramatic. They’re doing their best to cope. 💛

Do you give your child toys or treats for good behaviour? Here’s why that might backfire and what works better 👇

✨ Tie behaviour to values, not rewards
✨ Use natural consequences, not punishments
✨ Be consistent as a family

Build discipline that lasts, not habits that fade when the gifts stop. 💛

Signs of Autism that may show up during playtime 🧩

Some behaviours to watch for:
🚩 Always wants to go first or control the game
🚩 Avoids joining in or cries at group play
🚩 Either too shy or overly friendly
🚩 Talks to everyone, misses social cues

These signs don’t always mean ASD for your preschoolers—but if they’ve been showing up for 3–6 months, it might be worth a closer look.

💛 Early support can make a big difference. Reach out if you’d like to chat.

Focus on: Why Asking "Stupid" Questions Was the Smartest Thing I Did

Donkey years ago, I saw a quote that goes something like, "Ask, and you shall receive. If it is a stupid question, you'll be a fool for 3 seconds, but if you don't ask, you would never know the answer, and you'll remain a fool for a lifetime."

That kind of worked for me, as I was a very shy and quiet girl throughout my schooling days. (Of course, we can now ask Google or AI for answers.) But there are things that Google won't know, like "if a guy I had a crush on liked me back" or "to my teacher, how can I improve my English from an E8 to a pass?"

Now that I'm back in school doing a part-time study, I surprised myself by being one of the more vocal students in class. I'm still an introvert, but years of practice taught me that asking questions, even the “wrong” ones, isn’t something to fear. It takes time to grow a thicker skin, to quiet that inner critic. Over time, I’ve learnt that the fear of sounding silly is a small price to pay for clarity, confidence, and growth.

So if you’re holding back from raising your hand, starting that conversation, or seeking help — here’s a gentle reminder:

A "stupid" question might just be your smartest move.

“Remember, don’t work too hard!”
That was the parting message from my big sis, who’s just returned to Singapore for a family visit.

Funny thing is, I didn’t actually feel like I was working too hard. It was a fairly typical Saturday for me—just full in a meaningful way.

My day began at 9am with a visual and sound check for a Zoom seminar attended by about 120 parents from the Fei Yue Triple P programme. The topic? Raising Resilient Children. I was honoured to be invited as a panellist. We wrapped up around 11:40am.

At noon, I met with a preschooler and his mother for a review of his cognitive test. His mom came in with quiet hopes, but I gently walked her through the testing process—what her child could and couldn’t do. Eventually, she accepted the results. Acceptance is never easy when expectations are high, and my heart goes out to her.

Just before my social skills class, a parent pulled me aside. She needed advice on helping her child cope with meltdowns and refusal to try. It was a short but meaningful conversation. Sometimes, that five-minute window becomes a space where overwhelmed hearts are heard, and next steps become just a little clearer.

At 1:15pm, I ran a social skills group for three lower primary students, followed by another group at 2:45pm for upper primary kids. Finally, at 4pm, my Secondary Four student arrived for her English lesson.

No lunch in between—but I barely noticed until the day ended.

From speaker to assessor, skills interventionist to academic coach—and in between, a listener too. I hadn’t realised how many hats I’d worn until I paused to write them all down.

And maybe that’s the thing. It’s not about how much work I did, but how meaningful and varied the work was.

Still, sis, I hear you—I’ll be resting on Sunday. 😊

Have a restful day, everyone. Cheers!
