What may damage your relationship with your child? Parenting is a tough job. Children are not born with an instruction manual, and every child is different. Many times, we do our best to forge a strong bond with our children. However, there are five things that parents do which may damage parent and child relationships, even as they seem harmless or commonplace. 1. Constant criticism and comparison It is natural to want our children to become better. However, constant nitpicking over their mistakes and comparing them with other children may hurt your child’s self-esteem, and their self-confidence may be affected. […]

Are you letting your children lead their own lives? Very often, we observe that parents would want their children to enjoy what they didn’t when they were young. This includes lavish birthday parties, interactive toys, learning certain instruments and sports, and the list goes on. Dr Lim Suet Wun, CEO of National Healthcare Group, advises parents to let children lead their own lives, and not live out your dreams through your children. Should parents encourage their kids to “follow their passion”? Blind encouragement should never be done. Passion is one thing – but not many people can do well in their […]

The apple does not fall far from the tree. Every day, your children watch how you behave – from the words you say, to the decisions you make, to each step you take, to each reaction you have. It is a huge responsibility that parents have as children learn life cues every single moment. It is a fact that children are bound to copy our behaviour, be it positive or negative. Here are 7 behaviours identified by a parent blogger Mike Berry that children are bound to learn from parents. 1. How husbands treat their wives How husbands treat their […]

Recently, CEO of Dads for Life and the Centre for Fathering Bryan Tan wrote about his struggles of being a working parent, having to cope working, being a good husband, being involved in his children’s lives, and having time for himself. Having rejected by his eldest child who wanted to go for his enrichment class instead of spending time with him made Bryan realise that he needs to resist “outsourcing” his parenting duties – and be involved. Below are 3 tips he shared about being a more involved dad, or parent in general. 1. Set The Tone Bryan found out that he […]

A commitment to swimming is a commitment to safe water play! It has been about 6 months since K and E started their weekly children swimming lessons with MoovSwim. We previously wrote about them a few months back (and the first time here). Their progress have been tremendous; both children have grown from being apprehensive to more water confident! They are now able to swim independently for a short distance across the breadth of the pool. K has just turned 6 years old, while E has turned 5 years old recently. For beginner swimmers, they have certainly achieved much! The […]

Swimming is fun with constant practice! The school holidays are here! It is a great opportunity for children to go for more frequent swimming lessons to enjoy water fun in a safe manner! MoovSwim conducted a children swimming lesson on Friday morning for V and D. Since the last time we wrote about them, progress has been made! The children have been honing their freestyle and breaststroke. They are refining their coordination of breath control, as well as arm and leg movement. They are keen to learn and are willing to try, which allows progress to take place more readily! The […]

Progress happens with consistent swimming practice! MoovSwim had a children swimming lesson last Monday afternoon with sisters N and YH at Haig162. We last wrote about the sisters about 5 months ago, and there has been much progress! For almost a year, the sisters had progressed from not wanting to put their faces in the water to learning all four strokes! The sisters are now able to swim without any aid, which is a great improvement from where they had first started out back in January! They have learnt all four swimming strokes – the freestyle, breast stroke, butterfly and backstroke, and are […]

Swimming helps children start smart Professor Robyn Jorgensen, lead researcher for the findings of “Early Years Swimming, Adding Capital to Young Australians”, was invited to the Nordic Baby Swim Conference to share the results of this four year long project. It was funded and initiated by Laurie Lawrence’s Kids Alive Swim Program, together with Swim Australia and the Griffith Institute for Educational Research. Children who swim demonstrate more advanced cognitive and physical abilities than other children. “While we expected the children to show better physical development and perhaps be more confident through swimming, the results in literacy and numeracy really shocked […]

Attending swimming lessons consistently allows progress to take place! K and E have their weekly children swimming lesson with MoovSwim every Sunday afternoon, and it is wonderful to observe how much they have grown and improved over the past few months! The last time we wrote about them, they were still learning to gain more confidence and being more comfortable with placing their faces in the water. Now, the children have grown in both their water confidence and swimming ability, especially E who was initially resistant towards learning. The children have been working on their paddling and kicking, and they are able […]

Swimming is fun when brothers swim together! On Sunday afternoon, MoovSwim conducted a children swimming lesson for twin brothers A and D! These two four year olds are not afraid of the water and couldn’t wait for their lesson to begin! The boys have been with MoovSwim for over a month, and they have improved in their kicking and breath control. The twins have been learning to paddle with the help of dumbbells and noodles, and they are confident in doing torpedoes. Learning to do the torpedo is an important step to learning swim strokes, as children need to be […]
