Parenting is not an easy task. Parents were not given a manual on how to parent their child when a child is borned. It is all through experience and sharings that we learn the way to parent a kid in the current world. Many parents would agree that today's children is very different from the previous generation. However, it is today's parents who have changed significantly and therefore bringing up their kids in a different way.

There is no right answer to "What's the best way in bringing up a child?" but being a pro-active parent is the best thing that we can do for our child especially during the formative years.

I hope this site can be a platform for parents to share their views and to get various parenting tips.

Happy Parenting! :)

Can Your Baby Take Honey?

Do not give your baby honey or food with honey until he is at least 12 months old. Honey can contain spores of a toxic bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. Cooking and pasteurization don't always kill these hardy spores.

The bacteria can grow in the intestines and cause infant botulism, a food-borne illness that is rare but can be fatal, says the American Academy of Pediatrics. The symptoms of infant botulism include constipation followed by weakness, loss of appetite, irritability, and a weak cry.
However, it is safe for adults to take honey as adults have the immunity and a matured digestive system.
