Do you want your child to be successful?
Build a strong relationship
The response to a recent talk, 5 Tips to Easily Motivate Your Child for Success, held at St Joseph’s Church (Bukit Timah), was very encouraging. Many parents attended the talk whilst waiting for their children to finish catechism on a Saturday afternoon. All who attended were pleasantly pleased with the useful takeaways from the talk. . .
The authoritarian style of parenting is not the way forward if we want to build a better relationship with my child.

Useful Key Takeaways from
Helping Your Child Cope With Stress & Anxiety
Parents get worried when their children or teenagers are stressed and anxious. Some symptoms to look out for include frequent complaints about having stomach aches or headaches. Some may lose appetite or have problems sleeping. Other symptoms include being withdrawn or irritated easily.
Raymond, a father in his 40s who attended the 17 Feb talk, “Helping Your Children Cope with Stress and Anxiety” on Zoom said, “Early detection is important.” . . .
The examples that the speaker shared enabled me to learn how to relate to my teenagers better.

5 Tips to Easily Motivate Your Child for Success
More than 20 participants attended the virtual talk, 5 Tips to Easily Motivate Your Child for Success, on 19 January 2023.
Andrew Soong, a behavioural analyst with more than 15 years of experience, shared his reflections as a father of two adult sons. He described parenting as “a journey, rather than a destination”. He emphasised the importance of investing time and effort to “inculcate the right values in our children from young as they will become the parents of tomorrow” . . .
What values would you like to impart to your children so that they can grow up to be confident and successful adults?
Values form the very core of a person’s being and become the
foundation of moral beliefs.

Fun & Great Time for Family Bonding
It was indeed an afternoon of fun for more than 100 participants who came for the Prawning & Fishing Event held at Fish@AMK, The Grassroots Club, on 2 January, a day before most children head back to school for a new school year.
Kids were thrilled as they tried catching the longkang fishes. Some older kids also joined in to help their younger siblings . . .
The event is good for family
bonding. We like that there are
many different activities for families to try, especially for young kids.
They enjoyed the fish spa
and long Kang fishing.

Golden Years - New Perspectives
Ageing is a process that we all cannot avoid. Yet, many are not prepared and for some, it can be rather daunting.
Making Your Golden Years Turn Golden, a workshop launched recently and organised for Church of the Holy Spirit from 18 November – 9 December 2022 ...
The key takeaways for me are the different phases of retirement and how we can use God’s gifts to give back to society.
