Project Baby
‘Will you open the door for him?’ I ask Megan who is curled up on her favourite couch. ‘I do not think I can do that. How do I tell him that I am sick? What if he turns and runs away? I am so afraid. I cannot handle another setback. I think it was a bad idea to call him. You…
How to make kids eat healthy
Keep track of new products in the market and ensure they are healthy choices. The hustles of today’s life have made it difficult for parents to stay with their kids most of the time. This makes it even harder to monitor what their children feed on and the obligation has been left to nannies and other…
Buzzing trouble
We see them in our daily activities—stooping into a flower, sometimes just buzzing about, other times doing a gentle hit-and-run past your foot, or charging in swarms. Bees and wasps can cause pretty painful and serious stings. The stings are irritating and painful but one sting is rarely fatal unless you are allergic to its…
Fever – what to do with the chills
Fever is not a new word to parents. Most children will get fever at some stage. It remains the biggest cause of hospitalization among children. Fever is defined as a rectal temperature of over 38.0°C. Often, temperature readings taken at other parts of the body are lower. Fever itself is not life-threatening unless it is extremely…

So, how come one child will be very neat and responsible while the other is carefree and clumsy? Is there an explanation to this contrast or is behaviour engraved in the genetic code? Apparently, the sequence in which…
Vegetables – Stir fry
One way to make children indulge in vegetables is by spicing them. Kids often refuse to eat vegetables due to poor presentation and lack of creativity. One has to be artistic to be able to lure kids into enjoying veggies. For instance, colour is very important to children; the brighter the vegetables, the better. Kids are…
Baby massage
The importance of touch Massage is the original art of ‘rubbing better”, an extended form of touch which will give you greater knowledge and understanding of your child. During formative months, babies uncurl from their foetal position, stretch their muscles, open their joints and coordinate their movements. Massaging them will encourage muscular co-ordination and suppleness, to prepare the body for activity…
Baby Zuri – the woes and wows!
It has definitely been different these past few days. Ami is home now and he seems to be fussier than Zuri was at his age. He cries a lot more too! I love the new bundle of joy and he is such a beautiful baby, but I am having a hard time sleeping at night.…
Play + Learning = Safety
Children love to play. They have to as it is part of learning and growing up. Denying children time to play is denying them a very important requirement for their development. Games are either outdoor or indoor. The latter involves toys as well as electronic games, while the former are virtually limitless and include age-old…
