Parenting Playbook: HoneyKids Asia’s new Instagram Live Q&A
Episode 1: “When should you give your kid a smartphone?” with Lauren Adlam
“Mum, can I have my own phone? All my friends have one.” Ah, the dreaded day is here! We totally understand the FOMO that may arise from tweens and teens seeing their friends own their own smartphones. But all the advice we’ve heard thus far has been: hold off on giving your kids a phone for as long as possible! So how do we navigate this? HoneyKids host Angela Neo chats with Lauren Adlam on navigating this new minefield! Lauren is a mum of four and founder of ZOWN, a kids-only app that’s all about positivity and created to nurture Gen Alpha (between eight and 14 years old) to thrive.

Episode 2: “Is it ADHD or something else?” with Joline Lim and Dr. Kavitha Manokaran
Thanks to social media and scientific advancements, we’re now more aware than ever of conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). But how do we know if our child’s inability to focus or hyperactiveness is really ADHD, or a lack of motivation? We chat with Chapter Zero Singapore Co-Director Joline Lim, whose son was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and Dr. Kavitha Manokaran, Senior Clinical Psychologist at International Medical Clinic.

Episode 3: Balancing encouragement and tiger parenting: Role of parents in helping kids excel with Dr. Christina Wong
We all want our kids to excel. But how do we do that without teetering on the side of tiger parenting? We chat with Dr. Christina Wong on how to be encouraging parents while being mindful not to impose high expectations on our kids. Dr. Christina is the founder of 10X Study Academy, a platform that has helped hundreds of students study better and smarter to become happier in school and have an improved overall well-being.
