It’s a typical day, and your little bundle of energy is bouncing off the walls, running circles around your now-exhausted cat. Next, your pots and pans in the kitchen are now somehow all over your living room.

What are the developmental red flags for 5 year-olds?
The first five years of a child’s life seem full of so many changes. It’s only when you look back at the pictures, that you truly realise how much they have changed in just the past year!

Why is positivity important to children? The answer is in this article
When we talk about positivity, we aren’t just discussing fleeting moments of happiness or the occasional flash of a bright side. Nope, it’s much more than that.

Are humans competitive by nature? Or is it something we have become because this world has become so fast and aggressive? These were the thoughts that raced through my head as I watched my 5-year-old play with a bunch of other kids his age at the park.

Make learning fun with these activities for 5-year-olds
I sit in a corner on my favourite chair and sip my coffee. It’s still hot, which for many parents is nothing short of a miracle. But that’s not the only reason I’m happy. I’m watching my son and his two best friends run around our yard, and I don’t have to ask them to be careful or put away their gadgets.

Ah, online media, our constant frenemy! As parents, we love to hate it and hate to love it.
