With the number of Omicron COVID cases rising and more children testing COVID positive, Singaporean authors Josef Lee and Emily Lim-Leh produced ‘What Do I Do If I’m COVID-positive?’, an e-book that aims to serve as a handy guide for parents and caregivers caring for their COVID-positive kids. This e-book is packed with helpful information, useful tips and website links accompanied by colourful drawings you can share with your child!

As we continue to join in with the nation’s effort in curbing the spread of COVID and moving towards an endemic phase, we want to let you know how you can still get involved in our journey to discovering the role of Singapore’s multi-lingual environment on children’s language development. Follow our Facebook page for more updates!

We’re currently looking for families to participate in our Baby Talk-a-thon! We want to investigate how language exposure contributes to the way children develop language. We will send a special talk recorder to capture the speech that your child hears over the course of a day. This will help us understand how much of a baby’s daily talk comes from which of the household’s languages, and the language mixes that differ between different homes. If you have a child aged between 0-4 years old, sign up here: https://ntuhss.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_868i1NIkpvf00QK
