HFMD Precautionary Measures at our centres

In view of the outbreak of Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD), we will inspect all children entering Tumble Tots centres for fever, blisters and ulcers. We also require all children to disinfect their hands before sessions.

All equipment and surfaces will be cleaned between each session and may result in some delays. Your understanding and patience is appreciated.

We are relieved that through these procedures we managed to detect 2 isolated cases and there has been no cases of transmission reported at any Tumble Tots Centre.

Parenting is fun because YOU make it fun!

The Positive Parenting Campaign has been part of Tumble Tots UK's heritage for more than 10 years. This campaign is a celebration of parenthood and aims to encourage parents on their parenting journey. The success of this campaign in the UK has motivated us to bring it to Singapore and we going to kick start this year’s campaign with the theme 'Quality Play Time'. To share the joy and importance of quality play time, we have invited Dr. Janine Spencer, our Child Development Psychologist in the UK, to share her ideas with us.

In the Good Childhood Inquiry commissioned by The Children's Society, it is evident families are the most important influence on children's lives.

Positive family relations have far-reaching effects on developing children who are high achievers and are more confident in social skills. As always, Positive Parenting week is first and foremost designed to applaud parents on their parenting journey and through a series of articles offer parents tips on being positive in our role as parents. To read more on the Inquiry, visit www.childrenssociety.org.uk

Join us in May as we launch our Positive Parenting Campaign, in conjunction with Mother's and Father's Day. Also, as part of the campaign, Tumble Tots centres will be giving out free Positive Parenting Booklets*.

Activities to encourage early learning

Being a good parent is a skill that we learn over time. It is all too easy to assume that good parents are born that way - they are not. It needs time, ability, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn from our mistakes. However, an optimistic view on life is a great start for any parents.

Difficult behaviour - is it just a phase?

Life would be so much easier for parents if we knew that our children's behaviour would go through difficult phases but would soon be fine again. Unfortunately, it is not quite that simple!

Discipline

Parents of well disciplined children tend to have three things in common - they are confident in their handling of their children, consistent and they care enough to stop their child's bad behaviour.

Does your child know how to play and relax? Is he watching too much TV or doing too many organised activities?
