Hi, any recommendation of a dietitian in singapore that is not too costly? I’m thinking of changing my son’s diet, giving him supplements. I’ve read from different sources about certain supplements including fish oil, zinc etc but am worried that I give my child the wrong dosage.


Since I’m here, may I know if cod liver oil or fish oil is more effective? Which brand do you recommend? GNC sells child life cod liver oil but it’s $55 whereas online store is selling at around $30 after shipping charges.

You can consider seeing Poon Siew Win at Mind Matters (http://www.mmpp.com.sg/). Friend's colleague recommended her.

Hi mummies,


Need some support & advices here. My son is P2 this yr & his teachers had feedback that he is too active & keep walking in the class. I had known that he has been a very active child since young ,as his preschool teacher aso feedback his attention span is very short, but tot that was q normal for a young kid then.
But nowadays the feedback from his pr sch teacher is getting more & seems like they are hinting to me that he may b ADHD but they just did not say it out.
And worse is my boy will rebuke his teacher when they ask him why he keep walking, he just answer ’ becos everybody says i’m active what ! ‘. Seems like he himself had started to label himself as active since everyone keep saying it. When i ask him why he can’t stop walking he just said ’ I don’t know, I cannot control.’
It hurts me to see him like this, as if everybody despise him & teacher is biased on him as well. He became more bad-tempered & rebellious & start to talk back.
So I decided to bring him for an assessment, now still waiting for the 1st appointment.
Understand that sweet stuff is not good for hyperactive kids, but my boy is like a sweet craze! His fav food are all sweety stuff. So now really hv to limit all these sugary stuff but i know if i stop completely, it will kill him! (as he’s just too used to it). So anyone know where can i get healthy snacks in replacememt for the sweet stuff ? Is organic food ok?

I have friends who do not allow their children to take sweets or sweet foods as they observed that their kids seem to be more active after sweets or sweet foods.


I also have friends whose children become more focused after taking fish oils. They maintain their children’s attention span by giving them the fish oils before class and before tuition.
