My new Filipino helper (2 weeks) is a hardworking and pleasant lady who takes rather good care of my children. She's shown good attitude but the nagging issue is actually her lovesick husband who always calls her and gets upset when she doesn't return call (cos she was busy w work). She's spent quite a bit of her first pay on phone bills already. I even agreed to let her use skype to video back home. I only hope she can slowly get over her homesickness but I'm not sure... will she suddenly say she has to go home? I hope not. How do you help/cope with a new helper who is homesick?

You need to give her time. She left her family and came somewhere far to work for her family. I would still encourage and give her time to call. I would also say. work hard and you can send some money home too for your husband and family.

" My domestic helper's been an awesome help but can't continue. She's v close to my kids, in a good way. How do you "tell" your toddlers that auntie (domestic helper) is leaving and will not come back? My baby is only 2.

That young, it’s still ok for them.

How would you reply your preschool Daughter if she ask" papa, mummy, why do boys stand up to pee and girls sit down to pee?" "What are those bumps on your chest, mummy?"

Tell the them the truth and explain nicely. There isn't a point to beat around the best becos it's best for her to know since young

When your kids recovered from fever and flu, do you bring them back to childcare immediately or keep for 1 more week?

It depends. If i have to return to work then i may just bring them back to child care.

Headstart. Every parent would love their kid to get a headstart in life, but really, how do you define a headstart for your kids? academically speaking, lifeskill speaking and lifestyle speaking?

I would try to give a head start in everything ? Giving exposures n opportunities.

My 1.5 year old twins like to bite each other whenever they fight over anything resulting in many bite marks. It might be teething but they have teethers already. How can I stop this behavior?

I don't think it is due to teething since they bite each other during fights. U might want to educate them that they are not supposed to be inducing pain on each other

How do you teach/encourage money saving/coin bank habits at toddler age?

Role play is good. As the mom above suggested, pretend play supermarket. Also whenever i went to the shop and if lo gets yo buy something, ill pass him the money to pay and he will take the change back. Afterwhich he puts it in his piggy bank. He loves going to the shop, haha

My 4yo recently keeps blinking her eyes like it's itchy or something. I cut her fringe but she's still doing it. I was a bit worried she may have myopia but she could tell numbers from a distance where my 200deg eyes couldn't. Do you have such experiences w your toddlers?

My dd is 6 and just started blinking her eyes alot about a week back. The doc said that it was probably a tic and to completely ignore it. Will keep you posted

My toddler fell and cut her lips (think cut by her teeth). Any idea what can I use to apply on her lips to reduce the pain from her wound?
