Temptation

The grass always looks greener on the other side

That’s what temptation is all about

Tries to steer you away to a different route

Telling you that things are way better than the current situation

It is so easy to believe if foundation is not solid

Because of the addiction to the feelings brought about by events that doesn’t matter or last forever

Short term feelings

Short term plans

Dreams to escape reality

Everyone wants to feel good about themselves all the time

But this is not possible without the support of the other half

Hang on to the reason why this relationship was established in the first place

Good to constantly remind ourselves

So that we never forget and will always be together

Physically and emotionally

Live as one unit

Breath as one

Understand each other fully

A story built upon by the solid foundation

Knowing that good things as this needs to be worked at

And not easy to sustain if we get diverted by unimportant matters

Need to keep working at it so that it stays forever

Knowing that it’s definitely worth the effort

Nothing wonderful comes easy

Easy to get tempted

Keep focused

Trust in God

Work hard

Believe and love

EduPlay

We provide a safe and secure environment for learning and invite young children (aged 6 months to 4 years) and their parents to play!

In our EduPlay programmes, we play, we laugh, we talk, but we also learn about getting along with one another, about doing things for ourselves and others, about joining in and following the leader (the teacher). We encourage this playful approach to life and learning not only in our children, but also in their parents and in ourselves.

EduPlay is where we introduce the importance of family support at the start of a child's journey of learning and discovery. A sense of security is primary to a child's enjoyment of discovery and learning. That is why our EduPlay programmes all require a parent to accompany the child to class. An occasional replacement of the parent by another caregiver is acceptable. By two years and five months old, a child's growing independence usually enables him/her to attend PlayNursery alone. Following PlayNursery, the child is ready for Chiltern House's preschool programme from Nursery to Kindergarten 2.

PlayNest/宝宝温馨窝 (English/ Mandarin). 6 - 18 months

Nurturing attachment and security
Babies and toddlers play and learn in rich, stimulating and nurturing environments created through specially designed studios and with developmentally appropriate toys and equipment; with a focus on hands-on meaningful interaction in a language-rich environment. Learning is facilitated through an array of activities including, music, art & craft, stories, puppets and even a healthy organic snack!

PlayClub/华语游戏俱乐部 (English/ Mandarin). 18 months - 3 ½ years

Fostering self-control and autonomy
PlayClub is a stimulating learning environment that is highly enjoyable, with a curriculum structured around letters of the alphabet and key Mandarin words, numbers, shapes and colours – all organised in interesting child-centred themes and translated through activities such as indoor and outdoor play, music, art and craft, hands-on pre-science activities, stories, speech, drama and snack.

PlayNursery/启蒙教育 (Bilingual - English/Mandarin). 2 years 5 months - 4 years

Promoting initiative and independence
PlayNursery is a warm, supportive environment that helps children make the transition to independence. PlayNursery focuses on developing the 'whole' child through the instilling of independence and social/life skills, academic skills, creativity, and motivation for lifelong learning. PlayNursery classes have a bilingual environment with a curriculum that is age-appropriate to Nursery One and is theme-based.

Bilingual PlayClub/双语游戏俱乐部 (English/Mandarin). 18 months - 3 ½ years

Incorporating the best from both English and Mandarin PlayClub
The same elements and learning focus of our twice-weekly programmes are condensed into a weekly two-hour session. The lesson format is specifically designed to create total language-immersion such that children and parents/caregivers spend one hour each in English and Mandarin at every session.

Shout to the Lord (lyrics)

SHOUT TO THE LORD

My Jesus, my Saviour

Lord, there is none like you.

All of my days, I want to praise,

The wonders of your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,

Tower of refuge and strength.

Let every breath, all that I am,

Never cease to worship you.

Chorus:

Shout to the lord, all the earth let us sing.

Power and majesty, praise to the king.

Mountains bow down, and the seas will roar,

At the sound of your name.

I sing for joy at the work of your hands,

Forever I'll love you,

Forever I'll stand.

Nothing compares to the promise I have in you.

My Jesus, my savior.

Lord, there is none like you.

All of my days, I want to praise,

he wonders of your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,

Tower of refuge and strength.

Let every breath, all that I am,

Never cease to worship you.

Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,

The majesty of a tree,

The warmth of a summer sun,

The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,

The comforting arm of might,

The wisdom of the ages,

The power of the eagle’s flight,

The joy of morning in the spring,

The faith of a mustard seed,

The patience of eternity,

The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,

When there was nothing more to add,

He knew His masterpiece was complete,

And so, He called it … Dad 

Bean Soup for Baby

- 1 table spoon Red beans

- 1 table spoon Green beans

- 1 table spoon Barley

- 5 Almonds

- 5 Cashew Nuts

Boil all for about 45 minutes

Let it cool down

Blend it up and its ready to go

If there is too much water, can add baby cereal just to thicken it up a little

Simple

We went to Carl’s Jr. for dinner – just the 3 of us. I was just 3 months pregnant then.

We loved the burgers there. We sat down together, enjoyed our dinner and talked about how grateful we were about events in life.

We knew that moment was special and that things will not last forever.  It was so special - that until today it is still so fresh in my mind.

It was just a simple dinner, but it was very meaningful and we cherished every moment together. It was simply beautiful. Cannot explain fully in words.

It brings tears to my eyes now, whenever I think of that day.

Thank you.

Potty Training

http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-should-we-handle-unwanted-potty-training-advice_4426.bc

How should we handle unwanted potty training advice?

by Meg Zweiback, R.N., M.P.H.
Reviewed by the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board

How should I handle pressure from my parents and in-laws?

It's not unusual for today's grandparents to think their grandchildren should be potty trained at an age when many modern children are still in diapers. Child rearing practices of a generation ago were not as child-centered as they are today. "Child-centered" refers to a way of guiding children in which parents watch for their kids to show readiness or interest before they begin real teaching or training. However, many grandparents believe that waiting for a child to decide that he's ready or interested doesn't provide enough structure.

Some grandparents will be interested in learning more about current potty training ideas, and showing them some of what you've read here may be helpful. You may also agree to disagree, asking your child's grandparents to direct any comments to you, out of your child's hearing.

Sometimes grandparents will make remarks about potty training as part of general criticism about the way their grandchildren are being raised. A remark such as "You mean you haven't started potty training yet?" may be attached to comments about your other parenting choices. Sometimes a grandparent compares one grandchild to another in a way that implies criticism of the child or his parents. These comparisons can stir up feelings of competition between siblings.

Annoying as such criticism may be, it's unlikely that relatives' views about how or when to begin potty training will make a difference to a young child. However, if your child's grandparents frequently take care of your child, you may want to discuss what you'd like them to try and why. Even if your 2-year-old doesn't seem ready to you, she might be ready enough to practice using the potty part-time with Grandma.

Since a toddler won't usually have the same kind of need to assert her independence or act negatively toward her grandparents as she does with you, she may be more cooperative in using the potty when she's with them. As long as you feel comfortable with the general approach your child's grandparents are planning to take, it's reasonable to let them start potty training when they're with your child even if you want to wait a little longer.

Grandparents, just like parents, should avoid making too big a deal out of a child's success at using the potty. If your child then has an accident, she'll feel that she has let down the people who care about her. And grandparents, like parents, should refrain from scolding or punishing a child for toileting mistakes. Most importantly, don't let your child be caught in the middle of any disagreement about potty training between you and your parents or in-laws.

Second Chance

Definition: Opportunity to Try Something Again

Everyone deserves a second chance.

We are only humans, and therefore not perfect beings.

We might have made mistakes sincerely – not on purpose.

Or we put in a situation where we have no idea what to do.

Therefore, a second chance is important especially when we are willing to learn.

Second chance (opportunity) is used fully if firstly the acceptance of the mistake is established or you realize that you cannot really change the circumstances of life, but you have the choice to use the opportunity as best possible to be better.

Maybe we might not change or utilize the second chance as best possible, but that is not the issue. Giving everyone a second chance is important no matter what in all possible ways.

We are so blessed with a loving God with a huge heart, His mercy never ends and always willing to forgive and give us many many chances. These are beyond description.

Why can’t we do the same with our fellow brothers / sisters / friends if we receive the same from God?

Our Right Brain Program

As you may know, you have two sides of a very complex brain.  And these two sides each have a distinct personality, so to speak.  Each hemisphere learns differently—even though they function as a whole—to help us think, to learn, to love and to understand and communicate. The RIGHT brain is emotional, creative, instinctive and learns through sponging up information through a type of intuitive absorption.  The LEFT BRAIN, on the other hand, is logical, methodical, disciplined and learns through repetition, reason and organization of data. Educational programs today teach to the left brain.  Success is measured by left brain competency.  Tests, competition and critical thinking leaves the right brain behind.  But when the right brain is included in learning, a magical things happens: WHOLE BRAIN SYNERGY. A child can sponge up information (right brain), THEN organize it (left brain), then communicate or express it emotionally and practically (whole brain) for the whole world to see. That's why, in a left brain world, TweedleWink encourages whole brain balance with a gentle, yet powerful program called "right brain education." Learn with love. Our motto is "Relationships before results." The right “emotional brain” is a delicate instrument.  It’s the brilliantly creative side of the brain.  Your child’s right brain is a tool that can enhance his life.

When it’s properly nurtured with love, it can help your child learn effortlessly, sponging up just about anything with passion, joy and ease.  Think photographic memory, auditory recall, multi-dimensional mental imagery, speed reading, speed writing, and passionate creativity leading to invention of all kinds.  It’s all possible.

The right brain ONLY opens when we’re happy, healthy and well-loved.  That’s why TweedleWink classes are based on a solid foundation of trust, positivity and
respect for the child.

• We DO move and play.
• We DO flash information to the natural beat of the heart so as to support the central nervous system.
• We DO teach gentle speed reading with a strong early literacy program.
• We DO value uniqueness.
• We DO connect: heart to heart.
