This Father’s Day, daddy blogger Steven Teo shares why being a father of five has given him joy.

Dad For LIfe
For some parents, the name Steven Teo may ring a bell. The father of five is the owner of The “Perfect” Father, a parenting blog whose tongue-in-cheek name implies that even though Steven may not be a perfect dad, he always strives to be the best father he can be to his kids.

Not only does he devote enough quality time to them, he also brings them up with the right values.

“I try to find teachable moments in every situation,” he shares. “For example, we would occasionally encounter people giving up their seats for others on public transport, and I’ll try to get them to understand why people do such acts, so they know the value of kindness.”

Watching them grow into caring and useful individuals in society is what makes him a proud father, he adds.

Steven and his wife, Lai Fong, are parents to three girls, Steffi, 10, Stacci, 7, and Starri, who is three months old, as well as two boys, Leroy, 9, and Louie, 4. When Celebrating Life last met the Teos in 2014, they were just a family of six, and both parents did not demur at the idea of having a fifth child.

When asked what has changed now that another kid has joined the family, Lai Fong laughs: “We can no longer fit into a taxi!”

“It’s business as usual for us, actually, but that may be because this is the fifth time we’re having a child!” Steven admits.
