“The most effective (and least destructive) way to help a child succeed—whether she’s writing or skiing, playing a trumpet or a computer game—is to do everything possible to help her fall in love with what she’s doing, to pay less attention to how successful she was (or is likely to be) and show more interest in the task. That’s just another way of saying that we need to encourage more, judge less, and love always." - Alfie Kohn. And as anxiety rates among children continue to increase, we need to appreciate that learning through play matters. Try to go beyond the textbooks to pique their interest in learning through interactive activities and games. Give them the freedom to play, explore and think out of the box to learn problem solving. If you have questions and doubts on how to help your child achieve their best, check out @thelearninglab TheLearning Lab Exploratorium, happening from 20 June - 18 July. I have heard only good things about The Learning Lab, from their teaching and learning model to passionate teachers and strong track records, and I know we will be able to learn more from their first virtual open house. You will get to take a peek at how they designed their lessons to spark the students' curiosity and inspire them to grow. There's also an IG Live session with Jacinth @ourlittleplaynest who will share with us more on positive parenting tips. Follow @thelearninglab to find out more on the virtual event, win attractive prizes and exclusive fee waivers for signups. #ExploreTLL #learningthroughplay #positiveparenting

So happy to watch Marcus & Charmaine (who played little Kuah Jenhan & Jacinth from #badboi's #GoodBadNasty show if you remember) in 'Ombak! Tales From Above & Beneath The Waves' last night! Pretty cool show for kids 8-80! Written by @jokukathas & directed by @ghafir.
