"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth" (Psalms 127:3-4).

Participants' Comments

“The course reminds me that the relationships with our children are not to be taken for granted; we still need to put in the effort, time and commitment into building the relationships with our children. …. The arrow project is one of my key takeaways. It helps to sharpen our thoughts and pen down the attributes of each child.”

Elias Toh, father of 2 boys

“I must remember the character of my children is very important, and as their parent, I play a key part in molding their character. Paradoxically, only God can really change my children’s character from the inside out.  I must pray to the One who has the power to make change happen. 

"I’m also more mindful that God has a design and purpose for each child.  So, I’m a bit less anxious about my children’s academic progress.  Again, I must pray to the Designer to make His design for each child known and embraced by each child.”

Mrs Toh Sihong

“It is important for us as parents and also for our children to know our own identity as children of God.” 

Mr Kelvin Yiu

“I learnt that I need to be mindful of how I behave and talk to the kids. I am more prayerful when it comes to problems now.”

Mrs Rebecca Yiu
