VEO Principals’ Chat on Preparing ‘Future Ready’ Children

At the recent Principals’ Chat, insightful discussions centred on how to support children’s holistic development and ease their transition to pre-nursery while equipping them with future-ready skills.

Ms. Dianna Chan, Principal of VEO Harbour Green Campus, highlighted the pivotal role of pre-nursery and playgroups in building confidence, curiosity and essential skills, laying the groundwork for a strong start to future learning. Both programmes include diverse learning activities:

  • Role-play to learn how to communicate and work with others
  • Structured Play to develop creativity and problem-solving skills
  • Language to enhance social skills and self-confidence
  • Mathematics to foster the interests of learning and exploration

Ms. Josephine Wu, Principal of VEO Ocean Pride Campus, shared five key skills on how parents can actively prepare their children with future-ready abilities, ensuring a smooth transition not just to kindergarten but to lifelong success:

  • Language skills to build vocabulary, understand instructions and enhance comprehension
  • Social skills to learn how to share, collaborate and build connections with peers
  • Motor skills to strengthen children’s attention
  • Self-care skills to foster independence and self-confidence
  • Social-emotional skills to help manage emotions, express feelings and build resilience

Share the Joy of Reading with Children’s Book Donation

VPP teachers introduced our young learners to a special book donation drive by the non-profit social enterprise ‘ReBooked’ during a storytelling session. This meaningful community service project, as part of the Victoria Educational Organisation (VEO)’s 60th anniversary celebration, reflects the shared commitment of VPP and VEO to nurturing socially responsible learners from early years.

 

Our young readers were excited to give their beloved books a new home, spreading the joy of reading and inspiring others through their thoughtful contributions. 📚❤️

Constipation in Infants: Causes and Remedies

Constipation can happen to children of all ages, but the treatment depends on your children’s age and diet.

In this video, Paediatrics Specialist Dr. Philip Sham walks us through the various reasons for constipation through different stages of development. He also highlights useful home remedies to relieve constipation and identifies warning signs that may indicate the need for a doctor’s visit if home treatment has proven ineffective.

Here is his advice to parents on children at different developmental stages:

1. Infants aged under 1 month old
They may be born with congenital disorder such as Hirschsprung’s disease. Parents are advised to take them to the doctor.

2.Infants aged 1 to 6 month old who are breastfed
As breastmilk is easily digested and absorbed, they may not need to empty their bowels every day. This may not be considered as constipation.

3.Infants aged 1 to 6 month old who are formula-fed
If they struggle every time they poop, parents can consider switching to a different brand of formula milk.

4.Infants older than 6 month who eat solid foods
As they begin to eat a wider variety of foods, their digestive system may not yet able to adapt, result in constipation. Parents can treat it with medicine such as lactulose, which is a non-absorbable sugar that can be safely consumed by infants.

Stay tuned for the EduMakers App launch – with valuable resources and features it offers.
