Bubs with Sensitive Tummies

Chloe bear has been drinking cow milk from the supermarket since I stopped breastfeeding her, but little did I know I should be worried or nervous about the transition from breast to cow milk. For a long time, I thought it was just her being difficult about having regular bowel movements because constipation is a …

Friends of the Planet

We bring you Curbed’s list of 101 ways to live sustainably. We’ve never even thought of number 29 and number 67 is something we could easily get behind. And even though 72 might test our patience, it feels good to be doing good. And we also joined Year of the Planet, pledging to make one small change in …

Writing a book

I finally got time to reflect a little tonight. Not me…definitely not me writing a book, but Rachael, whom we met via Instagram a few months back. She shared her story to me over the phone and asking if I would be interested to be part of the project with my calligraphy skill. I’ve enjoyed …

雙語

其實一直都沒有太過擔憂雙語這件事情!因為覺得自己都是這樣糊里糊塗學會了兩文三 語 (我媽媽應該放了很多心思在裡面啦), 就覺得都是多聽多講! 不過我在懷孕的時候聽說過混血兒會比較遲發展說話能力, 有的不說話一直到三四歲都有聽說過, 所以我在這方面有點擔心!因為我媽媽說我一歲已經比例叭喇, 講好多野!加上問了許多雙語家庭的意見,知道很多孩子上了學就不和媽媽講廣東話或者普通話甚至排斥中文!還聽過許多孩子是連中文都不會說!也不懂得! 我不想Chloebear是這樣!!所以在佗BB的時期!!!我上網查資料和聽取許多人的經驗!當然都是參考!!!因為每個孩子的發展都是不一樣的!! 我的方式未必大家都適用!但是我想分一下給有需要的媽媽們或是遇到這問題的人參考! Chloebear, 目前2歲半, 我們是定居在澳洲的布里斯本 ! 在家裡有我同埋我媽媽跟Chloebear講廣東話! 從她出生到現在!我堅持與她說廣東話!爸爸是與她說英文!!所以我很珍惜與Chloebear單獨相處的時間, 大部分都是在跟她玩玩具, 讓她在玩玩具的過程中也能習慣聽廣東話!當然我天天都有跟我媽媽的對話, 使她不只是聽到我的, 也能聽到其他人的音!更重要是聽到我們的對話方式!或者都因為爸爸在一歲半前都不太跟Chloebear說話 (因為覺得她沒有反應吧?! 或者我經常跟Chloebear 年在一起?!), 所以Chloebear的詞彙都是中文比英文多!

Thank you 這句就沒有分別了, 畢竟我自己都經常說”Thank you” 多過講”唔該”到兩歲半左右我們開始一個星期一天托兒所服務, 是因為我覺得她對英文比較陌生, …
