Let your child have fun and a head start in life.

Sometimes, I pity primary school kids these days as they struggle through tons of school work and it is not just the amount of work either.

School work is more demanding these days in terms of the level of difficulty and anyone who has tried to do primary school math recently would know this.

For anyone with very young children, preparing them for the jungle that is the current day primary school is a prudent thing to do. It is important that children enjoy their childhood as well.

Therefore, if they can have fun and receive an early education at the same time, that is an efficient use of time. However, most of us are too busy with our work and too tired after work to do much else.

“Love the progressive activities! I don’t have to take the time to search for activities for my 3-year-old, and my 5-year-old just follows along when she’s playing by herself. So, I know everyone’s doing the right things for their ages!”

 

“My (2 year old) daughter loves this site! She has learned so much more than I thought she could learn at her age. ABC’s are her favourite things to do, and since I started her on this website she has learned to read words well above her age level."

Protect ourselves from the haze while in bed.

We spend 6 to 8 hours everyday in bed. While we can wear a surgical mask when we are up and about, it is more difficult to do so while sleeping. So, how do we protect ourselves from the haze while asleep?

Keep the windows closed and switch on the air conditioning, if available. Then, get ourselves a good air purifier and place it at the foot of our bed.

My Sharp air purifier at the foot of my bed.

It is positioned with the air intake panel facing the foot of my bed.
There is a HEPA filter on the inside.
HEPA filters are able to filter out smaller particles compared to traditional vacuum cleaner filters.

An entry level model like the one I bought costs a bit less than $200. I have had it for almost 2 years and I consider it money well spent since it protects my health.
