Awesome Parenting Tips From Yummy Mummies

The Young Mum

Goh Yi Shan, a 34-year-old tax manager at a listed company, is mum to three daughters aged eight and six years, and eight months; and a four-year-old boy. She credits her ability to balance work and children to a supportive network of extended family.

Yi Shan’s tips

Accept help from your extended family.

“I stay with my parents-in-law, and they are very good with the kids. We also have a domestic helper to handle the household chores.”

Prioritise your marriage.

“I am a wife first, then a mum,” she says. “I have a two-month confinement period after every bir th, and following that, my husband will take me on a short holiday, just the two of us.”

Go on family-bonding holidays.

“We go on yearly holidays – just my husband, kids and I – for about 10 days. We cook our own meals, play with the kids and don’t do many touristy things.”

Keep an open mind

Even though Yi Shan tries to have a routine in place to help the kids develop good habits like completing their homework on time, she says there is no one-size-fits-all method to raising them. “I let them grow at their own pace and try not to stress out if they haven’t achieved a particular milestone.”

Enjoy the moment.
