Ms. Rory Catipon, a Child and Adolescent Psychologist, helps us understand why our five year-olds have unusually more frequent tantrums at this time of crisis. Rory highlights the discomfort they are experiencing because of the changes happening in their own little world and how they are also affected by the stress we ourselves are experiencing as our own world changes. She then leaves us with one of the most important messages we should give our distressed child.

Has a loved one passed on during this period of lockdown? It is by itself a very painful experience and complicated by the impossibility of not being able to go to the wake and pay one's last respects but most specially, not being able to be near that loved one. Our mourning could be a lot more difficult. Hear from our Grief Counselor, MS. JELLY VIRATA, who can help us go through this experience with a little more peace and acceptance.
It can be challenging to control one’s drinking—and I am talking about alcoholic drinks! We can easily find a reason to take that one last sip.

GABRIEL AVANCENA, our Addiction Professional, to share with us 11 helpful tips that can help curb our drinking.
