On the cover of this month’s issue, you’ll see that we’re exploring the impact of nurturing your child’s creativity through play. I remember finding so much happiness in imagination games, art, and make-believe as a girl, but what I didn’t know at the time was just how much it was honing my problem-solving skills, innovation, and ability to think independently. The learning advantages and the sense of wellbeing it brings about can be an untapped superpower for kids! Don’t miss out on this fascinating article on page 30.

It’s October already! As you continue to settle into the term-time routine, I have two articles I’d love to share with you.
How often do you ask, “How was school?” only to be met with a one-word answer?! This first piece focuses on ways you can encourage your little one to open up about their school day. With these tips and tricks, you’ll be much better able to check in on how they’re finding school week to week, helping you ensure everything is going smoothly! Flip to page 37 to read all about it.

The second article is from the educators at Dibber, all about the importance of mindfulness in early education. A really powerful tool, mindfulness can take some of the stress out of the week for younger or more anxious learners. Make sure to check it out on page 38.

Going back into the classroom after summer is a shock to the system, and you’ll notice a big difference in your child’s responsibilities and routines. It’s a period of change, and I know you want to do everything you can to make this as easy as possible! With that in mind, you’ll find ten tips on page 28 for a smooth transition into the academic year for all the family. Later in the magazine, we delve into how kids of different ages experience the first term, taking stock of the emotions and pressures they might be feeling, so make sure to check it out on page 39!

This is the last month of the summer holidays before school starts, so if you’re thinking about booking a holiday or a short break that really counts, check out page 39 to read up on a wonderful staycation option for families and page 40 for a tropical African escape you’ll never forget!

Summer is in full swing, and with it, I know many parents worry about their children’s learning and academic skills. It’s best to preventatively guard against the ‘summer slide’ and manage your little one’s education without the structure of school. We’ve carried a useful piece on page 33, filled with wonderful ideas on how to keep kids’ minds engaged through games, play, and everyday activities, so they’re sharper than ever when that first school bell rings!

Summer is on the way, and for many households, that means only one thing - daydreaming about a vacation! We’ve got you covered on page 41, with a look at lots of beautiful, family-friendly destinations to suit all the personalities you may have in your house! From tropical paradises and white sand beaches, to stunning Greek getaways and even an Alpine hiking retreat, there is something for everyone.

It is my pleasure to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and happy Eid al-Fitr. We’ve lots of ideas for family getaways, feasts and fun in this issue, which you can find on pages 9-12 and page 43! I’ve also put together a handy ‘Eid Gift Guide’ on page 47, to make things easier this festive season, for a thoughtful present to treat your loved ones to… or even yourself! However you choose to celebrate, I wish you lots of joy and happiness!

Ramadan Kareem to you and your family, and welcome to the March issue of Mother, Baby and Child!

I hope you’re looking forward to Valentine’s Day! This is an occasion that can be marked in so many different ways, but the one thing they all have in common is LOVE!

Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m wishing you a prosperous, fun-filled, and healthy one too. This time of year often brings plenty of talk of resolutions and self-improvement and, while that’s often a good thing, it can lead to lots of pressure! I spoke with Kamelia Salimi, CEO and owner of Zoga, about her top three ways to stay grounded when it comes to goal-setting for the year ahead. Give it a read on page 20 - I hope the pointers help you on your way to success! And if your goals involve setting aside a little more time for yourself, there are some important ideas to take on board, on page 16, as you embark on your journey.

On the cover of this month’s issue, you’ll see that we take an in-depth look at the many ways learning music can benefit your child. I remember finding so much joy in music as a girl, but what I didn’t know at the time was just how much it helped my development. From changes in the brain, to teamwork skills, the language-learning  advantages and the sense of wellbeing it evokes, engaging with music can be like a superpower for kids! Don’t miss out on this fascinating article on page 24.

With the school year well underway, every mum is back into the swing of the term time routine! For some kids, the classroom can bring along a whole host of academic, social and personal pressures. Considering the inﬂuence this has on children’s happiness, I decided to dedicate the entire Education Section to exploring the key touchpoints of a successful experience at  school, because I believe it will be helpful to many parents around the UAE this year. Make sure to give it a read on page 33

As a girl, I can remember that the summer break seemed to stretch on forever and ever… until that first day of term, which always felt like a rude awakening! Of course, from a mother’s point of view, things look very different and you’ll notice the change to your child’s  habits, focus and schedule. Going back to the classroom is full of transitions, new people and new routines. Sometimes kids need a helping hand to make sure they adapt smoothly. With this in mind, we’ve carried a useful article on page 23 all about the best ways to help your little one make friends - a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to feeling well adjusted in the classroom!

With only a few weeks left to go before school begins, many mothers are turning their minds towards the term ahead, particularly anyone sending their child to school for the first time!

Ramadan Kareem to you and your families.

Elsewhere in the Things to Do section is a free family fair, where you and your children can enjoy a pop-up market, fitness classes, kids activities and lots of tasty food! 

I hope you’ve had a great start to the new year and are looking forward to Valentine’s Day! With so much love in the air this month, I’ve been thinking about all the ways there are to celebrate. From dinner in an amazing restaurant, to a really thoughtful gift, or even a casual trip to the movies, you’ll find plenty of lovely suggestions on page 45.


Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m wishing you a healthy, prosperous and fun-filled
2023. For any mums who’s resolution is to eat well, there is a great article on page 13, all about a healthy food delivery service that can support you  being your healthiest self this year.

motivated in the classroom.

This is the last month of the summer holidays before school starts, so our cover story is about the benefits of family vacations to children, their development, and their emotional wellbeing. If you’re thinking about booking a holiday or a short break that really counts, check out page 46 to read up on the power of good it will do - especially on foot of two years of pandemic life.

As you can see, this is a very special edition of Mother Baby & Child, as it’s the first time we’ve featured a man on the front cover! And not just any man - it’s a new father. When pregnant, many women have concerns such as fear of birth, how to handle work life, whether they will be a good mother and how to look after a newborn. So it can be no surprise that new fathers-to-be also have secret concerns. The difference is that in general, men tend to communicate these fears and stresses much less than women. 

We’re nearing the end of the school year and every mum knows how their individual child feels about that! For many kids, exam season brings out anxiety and other children can’t wait to see the back of their school! It’s a time to assess how school has gone and whether your child is really getting exactly what they need from their education.
