About Singapore Parenting Congress

This is an annual event, a joint initiative by Mediacorp and Families for Life that addresses the challenges modern parents face.

Singapore Parenting Congress 2016 is a 2-day event with a theme – Are you a SUPERHERO to your child, will kick off on 30 July at Suntec Convention Centre Level 3. 

Tickets are available at all SISTIC channels starting from $18 - $24 or on singaporeparentingcongress.com.  

There will be a total of 13 sessions this year (6 English, 4 Mandarin, 1 Malay & 1 Tamil session).

It’s time to pick up some parenting super powers!

These are the key parenting messages that will be highlighted at this event by different seminar sessions, which includes-

i.              Active Parenting- The importance of taking a proactive approach in parenting, in developing a child’s character, instilling them with the right values and building them up to be resilient people. How can we prepare our children for a future we don’t know? Academics should not be the only focus in a child’s development.

ii.            Screen time vs Face time- Impact of technology on parenting, it is not always a bad thing. Tips will be shared with parents on how they can connect and engage with their children more effectively at this time and age. 

iii.           Spending quality vs quantity time- Many parents in dual household income struggle with balance work and family time. Spending quality time is very important in building strong family ties. Spending time with your kids (being present physically and mentally), also helps to make a child feel more confident and secure.

iv.           Grand-parenting- The role of extended family in a child’s development- the important role grandparents play these days. Grandparents aren’t just an extra pair of hands. They make great role models who can be positive influences in our child’s life!

(There are only 2 sessions that touch on the role of grandparenting however, we feel that this is an important topic in today’s context as many grandparents are very much involved with childcare responsibilities.)

Active Parenting – Developing Your Child Holistically

English Session 1 
9:30am – 1:00pm
Speaker: Mr James Gary Satchy

Every parent wants success for their children. But what is true success and how do we achieve it?

In today’s world and tomorrow’s future, we see challenges that require more than academic excellence. A child needs holistic development in order to be a true success!

This talk will focus on what parents can intentionally do to develop their children in 4 areas – Active Learning, Character Choices, Emotional Health and Social Skills.

All these areas are interlinked to help our children be resilient in the face of challenges so that they can be true successes in life.
