What took place

The seminar was on Learning Plus, a parenting tool to enhance and stretch family time. It was for busy parents who wished to balance a demanding career and a meaningful life. It catered specially to parents of children between the ages of ten months and six years, and who wanted to establish family bonds early and give their children a headstart in school. Learning Plus teaches the skills of making audio recordings of everyday family activities.

The seminar was attended by an audience of about 50 persons. It was presented by Mrs Lim Ming Choo who developed Learning Plus, and her daughter, Lim Joo Lee who gave her perspective as a subject of the programme and its positive effects on her. The seminar started with an overview of the programme and how different families could adapt it to suit their contexts. This was followed with a demonstration of how parents could use it when reading to their children and the learning points that could be incorporated. Samples recordings were played. Before the end of the session, participants expressed an awareness of an easy way to help them bond with their children, as well as a heightened awareness of the need for the early teaching of values to help their children establish standards of behaviour.
