Aristotle loves art activities and another fun activity on the hit list is mould and paint. Kidz Labs 4M make a variety of mould and paint kits that are affordable and easy to do. You can also DIY the activity, although I think this is one of those activities that would be more cost effective with a... Comment - Like

Why a Montessori Program?
I first heard the term Montessori when Aristotle was 2. I didn’t know much about it except that it was supposed to be a “good” program for children. Since then, everything I’ve heard about the Montessori Method has been nothing short of wonderful. What really sold ... Comment - Like

Sometime back I was having a chat with my SIL and she raised a very interesting question relating to childhood behaviours that I wanted to put out there for discussion.
Here’s the question that triggered it all:
“Have you ever seen a Japanese child acting out or throwing a tantrum?”

Lately, there have been a number of thoughts on discipline running around in my head. I’m not entirely sure what to make of it all so I’m just going to throw it out there and invite some discussion. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments.

I wrote about the 5 love languages some time back and even though it made sense at the time, the concept still sounded like one of those airy fairy self-help stuff that is easy to sniff at. But after asking Aristotle to take the test (and taking an assessment myself!), some of Aristotle’s behaviou... Comment - Like

Over Christmas and for Aristotle’s birthday, he received a number of art activity packs. We love getting art activities as presents because they are a great way to entertain the kids. This scratch art kit was the first of the activity packs we dove into:

Okay, so I’ve been feeling a little down in the dumps regarding Aristotle and his less than stellar behavioural reports from school.

Since Aristotle started school, it seems we have had more than our fair share of meetings with his teachers to address his misdemeanours at school. All in all, I think he’s been to the school’s office more times in his short experience of school than I have in all my schooling years. It’s a sc... Comment - Like

They say that every child is different; every child is unique in their own ways. Even two siblings can be like day and night. Aristotle and Hercules are two such siblings. So different in nature that you could be forgiven for thinking they weren’t brothers – if it weren’t for the fact that the... Comment - Like

Yesterday, Aristotle had a birthday party to attend.

To top it off, it was held in Yu Kids Island and he’s always pestering to go to a ... Comment - Like
