Dear Florence,
Do you conduct PSLE intensive Science during June?
Thank you.

Hi, I would like to ask is there any vacancy available? Thank you.
Hello Florence,
In a recent article written by Diana Ser, you were quoted saying, ““From my experience, mums are more stressed out than dads. For every 20 parents I meet, only one dad is a hands-on dad.”
I’ve been doing a lot of research here in the United States around the recent extreme rapid change of the “hands-on dad”. What we’re seeing here is that dads are 2 to 10 times more hands-on domestically, than the previous generation of dads. Not just some of the dads, ALL of the dads.
I’m a hands-on dad. I have two girls 12 and 8, and my wife doesn’t have a traditional out of the house job, and we have no grandparents in our town. I just love this topic as it is so fascinating to me and I love to see how cultures are changing and adapting to these modern times. I wrote a short book called, “Why Modern Dads Change Diapers: A glimpse into the evolutionary development of the modern day, hands-on dad.” You can download the PDF here if you’re interested http://tinyurl.com/godiyo
There is a massive “hands-on dad” movement and much of it, of course, stems from the fact that a lot of mothers of young children are working and fathers have to help out, however, even in homes where women don’t work and the men work a strong majority of dads are coming home and going straight to caring for the children or cooking or doing the laundry, etc. Just a generation ago, the dads would come home and go straight to the chair with their newspaper.
I’ve never been to Singapore, ( I’d love to visit sometime!), but I’m assuming there is a very large female workforce, which would make me think that fathers have to, or are becoming more involved with their children and helping out in general at home. Perhaps in Singapore the extended families are more united so there are grandparents who can help raise the children or step in when needed.
One thing I have observed in the U.S.A. is that a lot of couples with small children no longer live where they grew up, so there aren’t any grandparents or aunts and uncles to help with raising the children. Therefore, the men have to step in to change diapers where at one time a grandma may have been available to do that. But because of the multicultural population of Singapore I would think this would be true too. ??
I would love to know if you think you will start seeing this shift in Singapore. I was shocked when you said only 1 in 20 dads are hands-on. But because this was true here in the USA only a generation ago I wonder if you’ll start seeing fathers become more hands-on. I’d love to hear more about your perspective and if there are some other people in your region that might have some thoughts on this topic. Thank you for your time.
