A Video to share!!

Just saw this at Hallmark Channel "Oprah",the little girl is so cute,thougt I'd quickly find the website and share with all of you!

My mum also taught my boy how to identify countries on his "Globe Ball" and he recognised some. Children at this age of growth spurt needs lots of different kinds of exposure and memory training is really good!

Formal/Lively?

Hi,just thought the layout of the website is a bit "formal", like a company website (ooops! no hard feelings!) .Perhaps there could be some cute pictures,cartoons etc. to "liven" up a bit? And......if it's not too confidential, we could share our bbs' photos too!

Parenting Tips... and some "funny" scary thoughts

The always-quirky Mrs Ma Weiling (kudos!) introduced me to this video quite some time back. Watch it and see if you relate to it :)
Can you imagine our children singing that song about us?... argghh!
Fathers... you're not going to be let off so easily... watch this!

Ok then... now for something slightly more serious. Hopefully we can learn something from this video so that our children won't be singing that song about us. :)
