Children's Galleria by Motherswork
Famous wit Oscar Wilde once said, “The things of nature do not really belong to us”, hence, “we should leave them to our children as we have received them.” In other words, we need to conserve the earth's resources for our children's future well-being. To that end, consider purchasing from brands that are socially and environmentally responsible.
Meet such vendors at the Children’s Galleria by Motherswork - most of the businesses are locally-owned. Additionally, quite a number of them are also women-led.
Held from 11 - 17 September 2023 at the Great World Atrium, the week-long event also includes fun activities for the whole family.
Positive Discipline: Battling Tantrums with Patience and Calm
Picture this - your child has been playing at the playground and it is now time to leave. You have told them twice already that it is time to go back to the car and head home, but they have refused adamantly. You are starting to feel frustrated and your child is also getting upset.
What happens next? What do you do or say to them?
Do you raise your voice and force them to go? Do you offer them a sweet treat to entice them?

Unedited: Life as a parent of a child with Down syndrome
Children's Galleria by Motherswork
As we celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, Motherswork speaks to home baker and founder of Upcakes Aaron Lee, whose seven-year-old son Andrew has Down syndrom.
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.
Inspired by his son’s love of food, Andrew and his wife Elaine, started home-bakery Upcakes in 2020 (www.upcakes.sg). He wanted to start a business that not only allowed him to spend more time with his son (as kids with Down syndrome can become more dependent as they get older) but would also be something sustainable that could be passed on to him in the future.While his wife focuses on her full-time dentistry job, Aaron, a former chemical engineer, bakes the cakes and handles Upcakes’ day-to-day operations.

Breastfeeding 101: Tips for nursing your baby
When one thinks of breastfeeding, oftentimes images of peaceful mothers holding gentle sleeping babies comes to mind. Social media and online articles also typically show happy women with contented little ones nuzzled at their breasts as if breastfeeding was the most natural thing in the world.
And while it is biologically natural for a new mother to produce milk and to breastfeed her baby, breastfeeding is also a new skill that both mother and baby have to learn. And as with all new skills, the first few steps can be bumpy, painful, and even a little bit scary.
