Exploring Play With Parents and Children Workshop (17th Apr)
Apr 7th
Exploring Play With Parents and Children Workshop is a ½ day hands-on workshop for parents and children up to the age of 5.
This workshop will explore children’s play behaviour from infants to preschoolers. Parents will get to share their own play experience with the group and develop positive play guidance skills with their children. Besides focusing on the parent-child interaction in both verbal and non-verbal behaviours, it can also provide an insight on children’s development and play behaviours.
This workshop will be facilitated by Ms Ruth Liew, who is a US-trained Child Developmentalist with over 20 years of working experience in the field of Early Childhood Care and Education and Parenting. She has worked and conducted personnel-training in childcare centre, playgroups, kindergartens and nursery schools. Besides actively participating in advocacy work on children’s issues such as quality child care and children’s right to play and literacy development, she has published several books among others Parenting Toddlers, Parenting Preschoolers and Imagine That! She has also contributed too many parenting magazines, television, radio shows as well as early childhood education journals.
Ruth also volunteers as a speaker and trainer for Personal Safety for Children, Prevention of Child Abuse and Peace Education. Besides this she has presented many papers and talks on children’s rights and positive parenting both in Malaysia and other countries.
The Workshop is jointly organised by The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM) and National Association for Gifted Children, Malaysia (NAGCM).

1-Blanket 4-Japan (updated)
Mar 24th
Updated on 25th March 2011:
This campaign is being extended to 31st March 2011 due to overwhelming enquiries & response from members of the public.
Below is an extract from an email from Dr Brendan J Gomez, a Director and Consulting Psychologist of Asian Research Center for Child & Adolescent Development (ARCCADE):
It is heart wrenching to see on the news that thousands more lives of tsunami victims could be lost due to freezing temperatures in Japan.
Thousands of families and children are in make-shift shelters with insufficient heating/blankets. Waves after waves of calamities have rarely been seen in other disasters. Those who survived the earthquake had to then survive the tsunami. Those who did had to then survive the fears created by the aftershocks (450 aftershocks ever since). Then came the nuclear radiation. Now, the extreme freezing temperatures.
Over on every major TV stations, people in Japan are pleading for blankets and heating to keep them warm. Children are most prone.
We have gotten support to begin a quick airlift of blankets to Japan.
We’re calling this project: 1-Blanket 4-Japan.
S P Setia Berhad is supporting this humanitarian drive, and we also urge all our fellow residents to join us for this noble cause. We seek residents’ contribution in form of a new blanket. There will be a collection counter set-up at Setia Alam Welcome Centre, from 24 – 26 March 2011, from 10am – 8pm. Our security personnel will also help to collect the blankets after office hours. The Rotary Club will then arrange for pick-up once we have collected sufficient blankets (target latest by 27/3/2011). In this context, we will need to give our best shot to collect as many blankets as possible and thus, help save more lives in Japan.
