Written by Georgia McCafferty on Wednesday, 05 March 2014. Posted in Toddler Tips, Life With Baby

Before you hand over your smartphone to calm your toddler's tantrum, hit pause and think again...

 

I’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve tried to have a family meal at a restaurant, only for one of our children to launch into a rip-roaring tantrum even before drinks have arrived. The kids are tired and hungry, crayons and paper just don’t cut it, and I wonder why on earth we considered this a good idea - until Dad whips out the magic iPad.

In Hong Kong's sweltering summer, it is vital to protect the skin from sun exposure. Yvonne Heavyside from The Family Zone covers the basics of sun protection to help your family have a safe, sunburnt free season.

Potty Training Tips Potty Training Tips

Written by Yvonne Heavyside on Friday, 27 September 2013. Posted in Toddler Tips

Dreading potty training? It’s a lot easier than you think especially with these tips from Yvonne Heavyside of The Family Zone.

Have you noticed how trends in child-rearing tend to go in cycles? Routine, no routine, and now routines are very much in again. Breast feeding on 1 breast only, then both breasts and (I think, even I lose touch) we are back to 1 breast only again. Well watch this space but my prediction is that we are about to see a swing in the potty training trend. It is not unusual in the course of my work, for me to come across bright 3 year olds (usually boys) who are not potty trained but who have never even been exposed to the idea! The subject usually comes up, not as a problem, but a request for information about nursery schools who will accept 3 year olds still wearing nappies.
