In a world where our relationship with motherhood is so multi-faceted yet often misunderstood, mums like Ho Kin Ing help to bring warmth back to the community with her passion for what she calls ‘Social Maternal Care’. We first met when I attended a prenatal yoga class at Kindle Space in Joo Chiat (which she founded) and upon the first hello, I knew immediately how genuine Kin is in her advocacy for women and mums alike. One of the ways to tell how much of a force she is to be reckoned with?

With two young kids to entertain every weekend, I’m always on the hunt for fun activities in Singapore that don’t cost a limb. And if it’s indoors so we can enjoy a respite from the unforgiving Singapore heat? Score! I’ve hopped around to many of the indoor playgrounds in Singapore with kids in tow and The Artground at Goodman Arts Centre is one of the standouts on my list for its spaciousness, inclusivity and affordability.

A child’s first piercing is a momentous occasion! I remember getting my ears pierced at a gold shop in Geylang when I was about four years old. While some parents prefer to get their baby’s ears pierced as a newborn (so they won’t remember the pain), I felt more comfortable waiting for my daughter to want her ears pierced before going for it.

Simple things like pointing, making eye contact and verbalising wants and needs usually come naturally for neurotypical children – but in the case of seven-year-old Adam, who has autism, his parents had to wait longer before they became regular actions for their son. Now, he manages to walk home after school independently, try new foods, and even helps in the kitchen, and his mum Dhamirah doesn’t take any of these everyday circumstances for granted.

TW: This article contains mentions of domestic violence. You know the saying, “We all have the same 24 hours in a day.” And while it’s often said in passing by successful entrepreneurs who’ve ‘made it’ with access to so many resources at their fingertips, some individuals prove that it’s possible to pursue entrepreneurial aspirations and beat the odds despite limited means.

Expecting this year and planning to deliver your baby at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH)?

We love taking the kids to try new experiences, especially if it’s right in line with their interests! But there’s no better way to find out if they really like it than for them to tell us themselves. As part of our junior reporter series, we asked five-year-old Inaya to share her thoughts about the art class she attended at Canvas Ark @ SAFRA Choa Chu Kang! With classes for kids aged four to 12 years old, Canvas Ark has been teaching art to kids in Choa Chu Kang and Toa Payoh for years now.

Trigger warning: this article contains mentions of birth complications. During my first pregnancy in 2019, I remember asking my OBGYN how I could go about writing out a birth plan. She simply asked something along the lines of, “What you want?” (she’s an amazing doctor with a real no-nonsense attitude, which I love) and I blurted out, “NO DRUGS.” I’ll never forget the exasperated sigh she tried to stifle as she said, “What you mean ‘no drugs’ – as in no pain relief?

But thanks to technology, community and unwavering support from dedicated parents, we’re seeing more and more children with special needs thrive and even grow up to be independent people. That’s exactly what parents like Hidayah Abdullah and her husband want for their child.
