For the right to learn - Malala Yousafzai’s Story

A book to read to your little one, while giving them a glimpse of the world.

Little Malala grew up in Pakistan, a place where woman were supposed be quiet, only belongs at home not school. However, she refused to be silent, defied the Taliban’s rules, fighting for the right of every girl to learn.

This book really tell her story in a gentle way that is accessible to young children. The artwork accompanying with simple text makes it easier for adults to talk about the harsh realities of the world. Particularly now that the Taliban’s action in Afghan are showing on tv where they often asked about the seemingly depressing footages.

I was surprised to hear my son saying “Mommy, the Taliban is not right, girls can go to school, like Karena, learn and do whatever they want, not just stay home”.

And I think it’s a perfect timing for me to read this with them just before school starts, where K seems to appreciate school even more, especially now at Grade 1, working hard on school works which are tougher to her because of her weakness in Chinese.

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors. However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep; 1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses 2. Stock up your backpack. Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience. Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too. Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories. The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...
