oh yeah forgetting the most important aspect, teach your kids how to point. pointing to close objects and people and pointing to people and things afar. so, teach him to look at the direction of your pointing. in the USA, there are lots of autistic kids who have fantastic eye contact.

autism is a very broad spectrum and no two kids are alike. the PD cannot give you a detailed report. my encounter when trying to put my son in early intervention programme (EIP) or even pathlight is you will need a psychologist report at the end of the day. the drs at KK and NUH will still refer...

i notice that all these maids (whether indos, fil, etc) have very strong taste buds.they like very sweeeet things, esp coke. my maid must add 2 tablespoons of sugar to her 3in 1 coffee. she will also add soy sauce to her food. the worst is she will add sugar to H2O. how i tackle her? i told her...

dear joy747, i used to be very humane too. unfortunately, after 4 maids and one who so called had a very good heart (or shall i say actress who can act for 1.5 years), i will not be humane to her at the expense of my children's health, esp a baby whose immune system is not properly formed yet. i...

read this by MOM, it says that employers are responsible for mediacl, basic necessities and repatriation of maid, etc. http://www.mom.gov.sg/NR/rdonlyres/3E5F2641-1831-48E8-A6B3-BF4F715EDC1E/9128/AGeneralGuideonEmploymentofFDWs_15Apr06_.pdf

just want to share, i allow my maid to use a calling card and use my phone to call her family about 1-2 times per month. unfortunately, when she had problems with her husband, he will make nuisance calls to my place. he has my number as he's using a HP and mine is not unlisted. it go so bad that...

hi ysl, they are very quai and afraid of you initially. usaually, they will start to show their colors few months down the road and you will realised that the longer they work, the more they will start to cross overboard. the most important thing is also, try not to let her become...

hi janet, i agree. that's why most of the times i just closed 2 eyes unless she really drives me mad. so, one day at a time till she finished her contract. but if she commits a major fault, off she goes. she will be my last n final maid.

hi janet, am in the same shoes here. treat her like part of family and she steps overboard sometimes. anyway, hope that i won't neeed another maid after she expires.

hi friends, thanks for all the concernc. my kids are better now, thou still have som loose stools vomitting. but much better.
