Dads Supporting Dads on 16 Nov 9.30am to 12.30am
Ashokan Ramakrishnan
It's time to gather the fathers again! Last year SPARK piloted our first "Dads Supporting Dads Program" (DSD) to much success. This year, we are happy to run it again.
Being a father comes with challenges that few but other fathers understand. Raising an ADHD child in the midst of the already demanding job of a father adds on additional pressures, emotional stressors and complexities. Sharing this with your usual buddies might not get you the support you need.
Facilitated by a husband and wife team, Frankie and Tina have 3 boys aged 16, 15 and 10. Their second-born has ADHD, Dyslexia and ASD. Join us for a time of heart-felt sharing, lively interactions and informative discussions that will make you feel more empowered and less alone in your journey!
Strategy Games Session for Parents and Children on 16 Nov 2019
Ashokan Ramakrishnan
Go non-digital as you start your holidays! Come and learn some research-tested strategy card games you can continue to play with your children throughout the year. Studies have shown that students who play these games once a week over a period of a year, reap academic improvements at an average of 25%!
Logicmills was founded by Dr. Mark Nowacki who has been teaching young children up to corporate professionals. He developed these games to teach children skills and good decision-making. These games have been tested with many MOE schools, and seen to have tremendous value in improving students' focus and performance.
For this event with SPARK, in order for children to take away the most benefits, a parent would need to be present to learn and play together with them, so that the play can be sustained over time and not be a one off event.
Age group of children: 7 to 16. Limited spaces available, so grab your tickets fast!
[Note: These games benefit all children, neurotypical and neurodiverse.]
Please purchase a ticket for every person attending. SPARK MEMBERS get a Members' rate for tickets for themselves and their children. You can register for membership at www.spark.org.sg, at $25 for a year, $40 for 2 years or $200 for lifetime membership.
Light refreshments will be provided at the event. If your child has strict dietary requirements, please feel free to bring your own snacks for the break time.
