Everyone has times of jealousy, it is a complex social emotion that blended with anger, sadness, anxiety, resentment, and shame. It is difficult for children to express this complex emotion in words, so they often express it in behaviors. In the form of expressive arts, children can often express their thoughts and feelings through nonverbal means, allowing the therapist to understand the reasons behind the behaviors.   Problem behaviors of "jealous child": - Offensive behavior - Cause trouble  - Attention seeking - Regressive behaviors (e.g.: crying, clingy, prolonged meal time and ask for food, easy to wet the bed, etc.)   Reminders for parents: - Jealousy is a natural emotion and need not be suppressed. - We may feel jealous because we value and cherish the relationship with each other and fear that this relationship will be threatened. - Examine the relationship between family members, think about how to make changes in life and find new ways to get along with your children.   Actions for parents: - Research shown that strengthening children’s emotion regulation and building emotional and social competencies improve their relationships with their sisters and brothers (Kennedy & Kramer, 2008). Awareness, naming, expression and regulation are four essential steps to take.  - Pay close attention to the positive interactions between children, and seize the opportunity to speak out their feelings and good intention. For example: The younger brother offered to play together. Parents can translate and say: "Your brother likes you and wants to play with you." - Avoid making comparison after praising positive interaction. For example: " You see how good your sister treats you, but you don’t."   Reference:  Kennedy, D. E., & Kramer, L. (2008).

What is resilience? Resilience enables people to adapt in new environment and face challenges and hardship. We can recover, stay healthy and keep growing when we experience adversity. What can we do to help our children grow and face adversity in life? Well-being. And let’s have a look of the three elements in well-being along with “APP”. A：( Accomplishment) We cultivate children's spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and failure. By enabling children to achieve in various daily tasks, we help them gradually build the sense of accomplishment.   P：(Parent-child relationship) Staying good connection with others enhances children’s well-being. Supportive and responsive parent-child relationship plays an important role of interpersonal relationships in early childhood.   P：(Positive Emotion) Positive emotions help us ease the negative effects of stress. Activities that promote children’s happiness, sense of belonging and gratitude enable children to feel the positivity and hence cope better in the future.

When children are unwilling to be separated from their parents, one of the wrong approaches is sneaking away. It makes children feel even more afraid that parents will suddenly leave, and destroy the trust between children and parents. It will be harder for them to settle when you leave them next time. Conversely, it is not advisable to prolong the goodbye process. Try not to return to them when they start crying, or go back and forth which makes your children more difficult to separate with you. When you are leaving your children, the right thing to do is to tell your child you’re leaving and tell them you will be back at a certain time. Be specific and define the time that they can understand, e.g. after nap time or play time. It takes time for children to understand your words and your promise "mommy will be back at 12nn" or "parents must come back to see me.’’ When this process repeats consistently, it allows your children to build trust between you and them.  Some children may take a longer time to get adapted to the school environment. During this period of time, parents should remain patient and gentle. Smile to them when saying goodbye. Keep a relaxed and happy look on your face. If you look angry, worried or sad, it will only make them feel more complicated.    

Attention skills are central to children’s development in multiple domains, affecting their learning, social engagement, and even performance in school and the workplace in a long run. In the seminar, Michelle Kong, an educational psychologist, introduced young children’ development milestones in attention skills, parents’ role in such development, as well as, the strategies parents could use at home to nurture children’s attention skills.Some points were shared during the seminar: The interaction between children’s factors, family factors and environmental factors has an important impact on children’s attention skills Children’s factors include their physiological and psychological development; thus, eating healthy, sleeping right and exercising properly are crucial When planning for activities and designing the play areas, parents shall keep a balance between “repeated exposure and limited stimulation” and “new toys and novel experience”, considering children’s abilities, current states and responses Children’s “inattentive behaviors” might reflect their unspoken needs. In order to understand and respond to their needs, parents shall observe children’s body language (such as facial expressions, gaze and gestures) and the preceding and subsequent events

Participating in activities to improve gross motor skills is integral for a child’s development and can occur naturally in everyday life. Gross motor skills can be a very broad term that covers many things. This article will help to explain what the term means and what you can do at home to develop these skills in your children. What does the term ‘gross motor skills’ mean? Gross motor skills are abilities that involve the larger muscles in the arms, legs and torso. Using these muscle groups links to other abilities including: • Balance • Coordination • Body awareness • Physical strength • Reaction time Gross motor skills allow children to participate successfully in activities at home, school and in the community. Children improve their gross motor skills naturally over time and with practice, some may be faster than others and that is okay. Your child will have their own developmental journey, the best thing you can do is encourage and support your child along the way.

Below are examples of two activities you can do with your children at home to help them improve their gross motor skills. Remember that practice and patience go hand in hand when helping our children to learn new skills. Stepping ‘stones’: This activity can improve your child’s balance, coordination, physical strength and body awareness. Create a path at home using different objects for your child to step on. You can buy different variations of this activity online or you can create it yourself at home. For younger children, create flat steps such as circles of coloured paper (secured to the floor to ensure they don’t slip). Start by using big circles and reduce the circles in size as your child progresses. Place the circles close together and encourage your child to step on the circles with two feet, you can ask them to stomp their feet on the circles to help them understand the activity. Once they understand the premise, try to encourage them to step onto the circles one foot at a time. As your children grow older and their gross motor skills improve, you can use 3D objects to integrate height into the activity and this will improve their balance. These objects can include balance beams, boxes, small chairs and anything else you deem safe and fit for this activity. To build their confidence, hold your child’s hand to help them across and slowly let them become more independent as they become more confident. Remember to supervise your children at all times while practicing as accidents can happen. Playing ball: The size of the ball and activity can vary according to your child’s age/ ability. This activity will work on your child’s reaction time, coordination, body awareness and physical strength. For younger children, start by rolling a soft ball towards them. Let them explore the ball to see how it moves and to help them feel more comfortable. Over time, encourage them to try pushing/ rolling the ball, in any direction at first and then toward someone or something. As your children grow older and their motor skills develop, introduce throwing the ball. Start by practicing to release the ball, then you can move on to throwing into or toward things. When your children feel confident with a soft ball, move onto slightly harder ones that will improve their physical strength. We hope you find this article useful in working on your child’s gross motor skills at home.

Before a child is born, we hope that they can grow happily and healthy. But once they grow older, parents' expectations become higher and higher. Gradually, it reaches a point where we only focus on our children’s bad behavior, and forget about their advantages and merits.  Even worse, if parents always use manipulative methods to handle children’s behavior problem, it will not only destroy the child's self-image, but also the relationship between parent and child.   A good parent-child relationship is the basic foundation which cultivates positive behavior, personality, emotion and values. By using positive reinforcement like affirmation and appreciation, this can make your children feel more confident and motivated to listen, improve and change.  Moreover, when handling problematic behaviors, parents can try to use "consequence" instead of "punishment". Punishment is comparatively offensive and can easily evoke more negative emotions, which make behavior problems more complicated and worse. The right consequences could actually motivate your child to exhibit good behavior. Ignoring, time-out, and delay or restriction of entertainment are different forms of negative consequences that parents can use for. From trial and error, the child will eventually come to understand which behavior will result in a bad outcome and make behavior less likely in the future. 

Early identification and intervention are key to help children with special needs to shine and strive. This workshop will focus on two major types of special needs, namely Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Parents are going to learn about the features of each type of special needs, as well as, the strategies parents could use at home to help their children regulate their emotion and behaviors. Some of parenting tips shared during the workshop: Enhance joint engagement among children with ASD through parent-child play time: Facing each other and maintain similar eye level during play in order to increase the likelihood for the child with ASD making eye contact with parent Let the child take the lead by allowing the child to choose the toys he/she wants to play Parent models the child’s action during play as a way to give validation to the child’s play ideas as well as to attract the child’s attention to focus on the parent’s action Parent models new social skills during play, such as request and share Use effective commands to enhance compliance from children with ADHD” Give only one command each time Keep the command short and concrete Command should only state what the child should do Command should be delivered in respective manner

How to help your baby sleep through the night. Quality sleep for children is key to their learning, memory and creativity. Research shows that their health, physical and mental development will be affected if children experience lack of sleep for a period of time. More importantly, their cognitive abilities, learning abilities and emotional stabilities could be jeopardised when they grow up.  In fact, sleep is a science: As long as you find out the appropriate timetable of your children’s feeding, sleep and play routine, according to their age, you are already half way there! In addition, a suitable and comfortable sleeping environment can help foster better sleep quality. Parents can also help children gradually become less dependent on comfort and soothing, and eventually learn to fall asleep on their own. By having the right method, every healthy child can self-soothe to sleep and rest well through the night.

As mentioned on previous article, sensory bottles are a great place to start with sensory exploration. They can include your child’s favourite objects, colours or can be themed as a set (like the bottles pictured). Useful items to add inside should include objects that stimulate the senses (touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing) such as glitter, beads, marbles, food colouring, buttons, ribbon etc. Younger children can use the sensory bottles once they are finished by pushing, shaking and rolling. Using objects that catch light and move with slight movement (like glitter) can help ease anxiety in some children and encourage them to be calmer. Older children may be able to communicate better what they would like in the bottles and can therefore assist in the making of. This will also help to practice their fine motor skills as they utilise their pincer grip to drop things into the bottle. Here are some tips to help you while playing with sensory bottles: You are not limited to bottles, feel free to use anything you feel appropriate and safe for your child to play with. Water is not necessary; you can use as little or as many materials as you would like. To help objects move slower in a bottle, you can mix clear glue with hot water to make the water thicker which causes the objects to move slower. Make sure to seal the top of your bottle tight with hot glue/ tape so your child cannot open if it is filled with small objects or coloured water. Remember that there is no correct way to explore the senses, simply help your child feel comfortable and encouraged throughout.   We hope you find this article useful and you enjoy your sensory play with your children.    

Why is sensory exploration important? Sensory exploration encourages discovery and independence through child-led play which helps to teach the children to have their own ideas and be in control of their own learning. Child-led learning can relieve the pressure from children (and parents) to achieve a certain goal and instead build character and important life-skills. Some key benefits of sensory play can include: Brain & Language Development Sensory play can enhance your child’s memory, and ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Language is also developed as the children learn new ways of approaching, and then talking about the world around them. Fine & Gross Motor Skills Children can use their sense of touch to explore and identify objects during sensory play, which helps to develop their fine and gross motor skills. These actions can include squeezing, pulling, pushing and throwing. Problem Solving Skills & Adaptability Sensory play can involve many different objects, as they play children can identify these objects and figure out how to play with them. This will develop their problem-solving skills and confidence with new things. Children will also learn to improve their adaptability as they play with many different objects in a variety of ways. Cognitive Growth As children learn to play with and manipulate new materials, they can also learn new concepts such as ‘sink and float’. The interactive aspect of sensory exploration helps to enhance a child’s thought process, understanding and reasoning. Social Interaction and Awareness Once children become comfortable with sensory play, they will feel more inclined to interact with others during the activity and work with them to figure out how to play with the objects. This will help improve their communication with others and their confidence to do so. More active sensory play will help children to become more aware of their bodies, how they work and the space around them. What activity is best for sensory exploration? There are an endless number of activities you can set up at home for your children to learn through sensory exploration. If your child is often scared or uncomfortable around messy or dirty things, start with dry ingredients that create less mess and work your way up to more messy activities. There is no ‘best’ way to conduct sensory play. If you are unsure where to start, sensory bottles are an effective way to explore with the senses. 

Based on decades of attachment research, the Circle of Security was created as a visual graphic by three U.S. professors to make the behaviors and needs of our child easy for all of us to recognize.   Let’s start with hands you can see on the Circle. It’s always important to remember that caregivers are those Hands. Our children need us to be bigger and stronger so they can feel safe, knowing that someone is willing and able to protect them. At the same time, our children also need us to be kind. Our wisdom shows up in giving our children access to the no nonsense tenderness that leads to security.   Next, let’s now get acquainted with the specific needs on the upper part of the Circle. When children feel safe and secure their curiosity automatically kicks in and they want to learn about the world. Before they set off to explore, children need a sense that we are giving them our full support to go out and discover their new world.   Watch over me When our children are exploring, sometimes they just need us to be available without any interruption on our part. These are “Watch Over Me” moments. It might seem like we’re not doing anything, but our relaxed presence is actually what makes their discovery and learning possible.   Delight in me Our children need to know that we find delight in them for no other reason than they are simply being who they are. These are “Delight in me: moment. Because our delight doesn’t have to do with how well our child does something, it helps build a well-ingrained sense of self-worth in our children.   Help me Sometimes our children need our help when they are exploring, In these ”Help Me” moments our children need just enough from us to learn to do new tasks by themselves.   Enjoy with me At other times, our children simply want us to take pleasure in them or to play with them, which are “enjoy with me” moments on the Circle. These shared moments give our children the message that we are available and interested in all that they are doing and learning.   When children become tired, frightened, uncomfortable, they lose their interest in exploring. They are now on the bottom half of the Circle.   Protect Me Sometimes our children come in to us because they are frightened. These are “Protect Me” moments on the Circle.   Comfort Me Children have a need for tenderness and soothing many times throughout the day. These are “Comfort Me” moments on the Circle.   Delight in Me “Delight in me” is also on the bottom of the Circle. It is repeated on both the top and bottom because our children need us to delight in who they are when they are going out and coming in.   Organize My feelings Finally, sometimes our children need us to help them make sense of their emotions. These are “Organize My Feelings” moments. By teaching our children that they’re not alone in their feelings, they learn to trust and share their emotions, without being overwhelmed by them. This learning will stay with them throughout their lives.   With each round our relationship grows stronger and our child feels increasingly secure.   Cooper, Hoffman & Powell. (2009).

The hallmark of 'Terrible Twos' is oppositional behavior. Our children react exactly the opposite of what we expect. Registered Social worker – Miss Nicola Yau shared three important principles in handling children’s problematic behavior.   Empathy- Acknowledge feelings Naming and validating your child's feelings is an important tactic to help them feel loved and understood. Parents can find the words they need to express their emotion and thoughts. “You are angry because someone took your candies”. “You look nervous when you see strangers, you are shy to talk to them.”, “I can see you are upset that it is time to go.”. When we reflect back to them with understanding, and step into their situation and acknowledge their “feeling and thoughts”, it actually helps our children release their feelings, move on and become much more able to comply with us.   Setting Limitation and Offering Choices Acknowledging and accepting feelings does not mean, we accept our children’s destructive or inappropriate behaviour. Parents should remind children what kind of behavior they are showing is acceptable. Be sure that you are clarifying the rules, but not blaming the child themselves. For example, instead of shouting to the children, “You can’t hit me,” you can say “…but I am not for hitting.” This puts the focus on the child’s behaviour rather than the person. Moreover, it is also important to empower the child to feel that they have the ability to make their own choice. “You can choose to hit the pillow or hit the cushion.’ This makes our child feel less powerless and you have less chance of your child saying no. By doing this, we are setting the boundaries and controlling unexpected behavior, at the same time, we can also empathise fully with their disappointment, frustration or anger.   If the child still persists in inappropriate behavior, validate the feelings again. When children feel validated, they are much more likely to comply. Rules are more likely to be maintained, and we can turn the year of the terrible twos into the not-so-terrible twos.

"A parent's job is to shape children's behavior" Children love to be told how wonderful they are (doesn't everyone?) and how proud we are of them. But when it comes to praise, there's more on the line than just boosting self-esteem.  Parents should say ten positive things to their children for every one negative response. It’s not that difficult, and it doesn’t have to be elaborate, suggestions on comments could originate from a behaviour you like when you observe it. Ways of Praise - Look Them in the Eye The way you give praise is just as important or even more important than the words you use. Use a warm, nurturing tone, and ensure you make eye contact and when possible get down to their level, face to face. - Choose Words Wisely When it comes to praise, it’s important to use language that is age appropriate for your child’s development stage - Applaud Each Child’s Individual Strength Kids can’t help but compare themselves to others. Parents should focus on individual strengths of their child and offer extra encouragement. This approach helps children learn that everyone has strengths, and that they are all different Praising gives children the message that they are accepted and appreciated, but overpraising, "you're the best," "you're the smartest," "you're the most wonderful child", sets them up for eventual disappointment. Experts believe that over-praising can make children feel the need to seek approval from others all the time. But if you offer frequent encouragement, and save the praise for when it really counts, your child will be more resilient and confident because of it.

"2 to 6 years old is the golden period of language development." Psychologists pointed out. Little Habs has always advocated creating a rich learning environment. Speech Therapist - Mr.Patrick Ko was invited to share "How to build your child's vocabulary"  Mr Ko introduced the normal language development stages. Around one-year-old is the ‘single word period’, this is when the first meaningful words emerge; Around two-year-old is the ‘two-word period’, children start to combine two words together to form a phrase, such as "Mom Doggie" / "Mom Car"). The vocabulary size will reach to 50 to 100 and children begin to produce incomplete phrases with grammatical errors. Around three-year-old, children start to say simple sentences ("I want chocolate"). After three, the vocabulary size and sentence structure will grow rapidly. By the age of five to six, children can master the daily vocabulary and grammatical rules and begin to speak like adults in conversations. It is really amazing that children go from single words to fluent daily dialogues in just six years. To increase the vocabulary in young children, parents can show different objects or demonstrate the actions in front of their children while slowly and repeatedly saying the target vocabulary with tonal stress. There is a mantra: "GO SLOW AND SHOW, ASK LESS AND STRESS" What toys should parents choose? Scientific research points out that PLAY SKILL is related to cognitive development. Mr Ko suggests that parents can play more symbolic, imaginative and rule-based games. Symbolic games are games that use toys or objects to pretend to be the real objects and acting on these toys, such as cutting fruit with a knife and feeding it to a puppy. Imagination games are more elaborate where children and adults can imagine the scene behind the story, pretending to be different characters and mimic their style, tone and dialogue, such as doctor and patient, superman and monster. Rule-based games are games with specific rules where children will need to comprehend and follow certain rules during the games, such as hide and seek, chess and UNO. This sharing was conducted online with Zoom for the first time, and parents' learning intentions were not hindered. Everyone interacted through the chat room.  Finally, Mr Ko recommends that parents not only grasp the golden period of language development to increase their children's vocabulary, but also appreciate the pureness and loveliness of children during the developmental period. Let's enjoy this magical journey of growing up with our children.

All children feel anxious when separating from their parents or caregivers, because they have not yet to understand that when parents leave they’ll always come back. Separation anxiety is a great opportunity for children to learn how to spend time without parents, and they’ll soon find out that it’s also fun to be with others. To help children with separation anxiety, parents may start with making separation a playful game, and gradually increase the duration and distance of separation. Parents may bring children to visit the kindergarten and their future teachers a few times before first day of school. This will help to lower their anxiety level. Moreover, parents should appear calm during the separation and reunion processes. This conveys the message that a short separation is nothing but a normal routine. To deal with parents’ own anxiety while separating from their children, parents are encouraged to engage themselves with tasks and activities during the separation period. Knowing that separation is a process of independence and connecting with other human beings for our children, we’ll be more able to accept this challenge.   By Ms Yawen Chan Private Clinical Psychologist in Seedling Heart Child Development Centre

Online learning has not been an easy transition for children, especially children in the Early childhood age group. Making the transition from physical to virtual learning may be frowned upon by parents, but with the ever changing COVID situation and city-wide school shut down could this be the norm?    What parents need to understand is that if we do not attend classes whether online or physical, we will be hampering the child’s brain development. Especially in early childhood, the child’s brain develops every day. So, we as educators / parents cannot afford to miss even a single day. For brain development, children need to receive the right kind of stimulation, which only teachers can provide. They have been trained to provide age-appropriate stimulation.    Younger children, between the ages of 2 to 5 should have no more than 30-60 mins of screen time each day. Not all screen time is equal. When a child is attending an interactive phonics or cognitive activity this is considered good screen time. Keeping the TV on all day or letting your child continuously watch tv is examples of bad screen time.   Many educational experts have said, “e-learning, we should embrace it” “It’s time to connect with our children and it’s time for us to be creative”. Parents needs to forget everything they know about traditional schooling. Learning is fun, so it’s important to make it interactive which many online classes are offering.    It’s all about having the right mindset.   Know more about our online courses, please click ,  Course for aged 10-13 months / aged 14-19 months / aged 10-24 months /  aged 15-29 months

Raising a child is never easy. There are millions of ways to raise a child but which way is “the best way” and who says so?    We often get unsolicited comments from other moms on how to better care for our own children., giving out useful tips on what is best for them, listing out the Dos and Don’ts. But how would they know what is best for your children and their needs?   Turns out there isn’t really a definite answer to the question. No one can ever tell you what is best for your child except yourself. Let your child explore themselves, learn at their own pace, and as parents, what we can do is to be there when they need us, guide them through every step of the way. No doubt that it is always great and helpful to have advice and tips along the way, but never let them become a hindrance on your parenting journey. Things that work for others might not work for you. Raising a child is so much more than just doing math. Sometimes its not as simple as 1 + 1 = 2.   Have confidence in yourself and your children, and let them be their unique selves and be the best version of themselves.
