It’s never easy discovering this – whether your child was on the receiving end or instigating side – and it can leave parents feeling anxious, powerless and ultimately with more questions than answers. How are you supposed to respond to your child, engage with teachers and even the other parents of the child/children that were also involved?⁠
⁠
Child psychologist Anoushka Beh explains how parents can respond effectively if their child is involved in a bullying incident. ⁠

"Moving to a new country, dealing with the pandemic, and being away from family took a toll on me. I didn’t want other parents to go through the same loneliness, so I created an app that helps parents and kids in Singapore connect easily" - Kana, co-founder of Bubstreet, a playdate app for parents in Singapore.⁠

We went to check out the new playground at Tampines Boulevard Park's west section!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱:
- The playground is a hit with kids! There's a dragon-head slide, rock walls and a sand pit with swings and an excavator.
- The park is HUGE. 4.78ha with lots of grassy areas for kids to run around.
- The 60m-long cycling track for children - a safe spot for kids who're learning to cycle, skate and scoot.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳:
- There are limited shaded areas, so bring a hat and slap on that suncream!
- Since it's newly constructed, you might find a lot of (harmless) centipedes here.
