Abstract

The “Look, Ma” campaign aims to promote awareness among parents with children
between the ages of 0 and 10, about the importance of playtime and a self-created
childhood in the lives of children. This was the first-ever research conducted, in
partnership with the Association of Early Childhood Educators Singapore (AECES)
and the National Institute of Education (NIE), on children in Singapore to uncover
their understanding of childhood. Look, Ma’s significance lies in being one of the first
local projects, if not the pioneer project, in emphasizing childrens’ voices and their
rights for a stake in their childhood.
