30 days of School Holiday might suck up the creative brain cells of many parents. When you have run out of ideas what to do with your child. Take a break and give your child a chance to plan his own school holiday itinerary!
Here’s what my 5 year old child planned….
*giggle*
He said: “Yesterday I say we all eat lunch first, then do worksheet, then you play with us, then do worksheet, then play play play play, then after that wait for at night, and then eat dinner, then after that bathe, then sleep.” *ding*
Did you let your child plan his own time-table during the school holidays too? Its good to take a step back every now and then and allow your child to learn to make decisions. *Grin*
With decision, comes action, with action, comes result. By first making decision, they can access if they like the result. If they do not like the result, they would grow to learn to make ‘better’ decisions in future. *wink*
Parenting is not always about being in control
but rather to let your child grow.

Angeline Foong is my name. Making people happy is still my aim — that part never changed.
Some of you have known me here since 2007, when this was a place I poured my heart into as I raised my two boys — the tantrums, the milestones, the 'unconventional' parenting moments I couldn't help but write down. I stepped away from this blog for over 10 years. Life, and my boys, grew up. Men now.
But somewhere in those years, something else grew too. Watching my own family up close — really up close — taught me that most of our struggles, with our kids, our partners, our parents, even ourselves, come down to one thing: we don't always understand the person in front of us, or why they do what they do.
So I went looking for a way to change that. What I found — and eventually developed myself — is a tool called the Numbers Decoder. It uses something as simple as a birthdate to reveal how a person is wired: how they think, how they connect, how they need to be communicated with. Once you understand that about someone, you can choose how you show up for them — instead of guessing, or worse, assuming they should just be like you.
Today, as a Relationship Consultant & Coach, helping people navigate the relationships that matter most — with partners, family, colleagues, and themselves — through 1-to-1 consultations.
This blog is where I'll be sharing that journey again — this time through real case studies from the people I get to help. Same Angeline, same belief that no relationship issue is unsolvable with enough understanding and patience. Just a much bigger definition of 'family' now.
Welcome back, old friends. And welcome, new ones.
