Note that every family has its own set of challenges and what works for one family may not be the best solution for the other. These posts were written for me to review my parenting solutions from time to time and for me to reminisce my kids’ growing up years when I grow old and when memories are hard to stay. They are also written for my kids to learn from what their mummy had done correctly or wrongly and my hope for them to learn a thing or two when they reach parenthood years. Lastly, I hope to inspire other parents out there through my documentary of my learning as a mummy, and let’s all strive to be a better parent 🙂
