Loneliness among children is a critical issue that leaves young children vulnerable to immediate or long-term negative consequences. It has been found to have profound negative effects on health and has been considered to be the “social equivalent of physical pain”.

Children Obesity Awareness Month

9/15/2020

By AGT

Obesity is not unfamiliar to many of us.

In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults above age 18 worldwide were overweight and 650 million of them were categorised as obese according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Children are not spared from this global concern (World Health Organisation, 2018). 41 million children below 5 years old were estimated to be overweight or obese. Almost half of them are living in Asia. Up to 124 million children and adolescents from 5 to 19 are obese in 2016 (World Health Organisation, 2018). Malaysia is not excluded from this worldwide epidemic; in fact, it is still the top country in South East Asia with the highest obesity rate. Furthermore, what is more heart-breaking is the fact that Malaysian children are largely affected as well.

In the United States, the month of September is recognized as Childhood Obesity Awareness Month by the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) and we would like to play our part in educating parents across Malaysia about Obesity and the threats it brings, especially to our children.

How to Improve Attention in Children

​Do you always find yourself needing to shout at your child in order for them to pay attention? Or do you always repeat the same instruction because they are not paying attention to you? Before we discuss how to improve the attention span in children, let’s have a better understanding of what attention is and how it works.

Attention is the ability to regulate one’s attentional resources, it is a critical skill to access learning in a group environment, which is also an important piece in self-regulation (DiCarlo et al., 2016). This can be influenced by motivation, self-esteem, sensory integration, practice, language difficulties, and any existing diagnosis. Attention has two primary aspects: it can be focused and it is selective (Boersma & Das, 2008). It allows us to screen out the irrelevant stimulation and focus on the important information in a particular moment.

Nurturing Creativity during Child Development

7/22/2020

By AGT

Every child is born with a gift to create new ideas and innovative outcomes that evolve from their ideas, thus, we are uniquely creative human beings. It is an ability for a child to solve problems, entertain himself, and explore the world in his own way. Creativity enables children to be flexible and resilient, explains Sally Goldberg, PhD, professor of early childhood education at Nova South-Eastern University in Fort Lauderdale in Florida (Abedon, n.d.).

According to Today’s Parent, young children in the age of 0 to 5 like to play with anything and everything (Arnall, 2018). For example, they would build a spaceships with the math pattern blocks together, despite the fact that the blocks were intended to demonstrate fractions.

Importance of Experience Influences on Child Development

7/17/2020

By AGT

Picture
Early life experiences can exert a huge effect on both of the brain development and behavioural development; while the latter experience also plays an important role in maintaining and elaborating, which is important in establishing a solid foundation for development after early stages (Fox, Levitt & Nelson, 2010). For example, the learning experience of a child will shape a child’s behaviour and personality as well as how the child’s brain grows and develops.

The Genetics Influences on Child Development

​As we all know, the inherited genes from our parents influence everything from height, eyes colour, hair colour and other physical characteristics, to intelligence, behavioural patterns and personality traits.

Who we are today is shaped by our genetic background as well as environmental influences. Most researchers agree that a complex interaction of both nature and nurture is involved in a child's development (Levitt, 2013).

The complex interaction of both nature and nurture does not just occur at a particular moment or throughout periods of time, rather it is a persistent and a lifelong process (Cherry, 2020).

​Therefore, it is important for parents, caregivers, and even educators to understand the science behind our children’s genetics in order to nurture them to their full potential, healthiest and happiest selves.

Absolute Love Photo Contest Throwback:  Irreplaceable Moments in Your Little One’s Childhood

Time is irreplaceable, time spent with our children is even more so. Before we know it, we have missed their first ten years because parents are trying to make a living in the name of “for the family”. Most of the time, parents are so busy building careers and making money, some have to leave the care of their children to helpers and nannies. In wanting to secure our children’s livelihood, happiness and future, parents oftentimes lose the opportunity to be present across their development. Consequently, when children grow up, they have little memory of your presence and affection in their lives. While love is not expressed solely through quality time spent, yet no doubt it is important and precious simply because it is irreplaceable. Needless to say, it is also the primary determinant of the state of your relationship with your children.

What is Best for Our Children?

5/16/2020

By. AGT

Do you think you are giving the best to your children? Wanting the best for our children is the motivation to parents’ day to day relentless and hard work. Years and decades spent in earning money, not just to raise a child up, but to raise a child well. Parents send children to the best schools, the best tuition centres, the best enrichment programmes, the best holiday camps, the best one-to-one personal tutor et cetera. Apart from educational or developmental avenues, a lot of money is spent in the process such as learning resources like books, musical instruments, uniforms, events or trips, transportation and the list goes on. Parents no doubt want the best for their children. We want them to be the best they can ever be, and take up the heavy burden willingly and unconditionally to pave the way of security, success and happiness for our children. But is this really the best?
