Fostering Positive Sibling Relationships When One Child Has Special Needs

For a lot of families, every child is a blessing, including children with special needs. That said, there’s no denying the fact that the extra care and attention that a special needs child requires from the parents often takes time away from the other non-special needs children. In this situation, especially if the children are on the younger side, there may be some negative impact on the sibling dynamic, where one or more children feel resentment or are left out to fend for themselves while mom and dad take care of their special needs brother or sister.

In a place like Singapore, where many parents already struggle with the day-to-day responsibilities of work and home, how can parents foster more positive sibling relationships that thrive despite the everyday challenges of balancing the needs of everyone in the family? Let this article provide suggestions to help your family create a nurturing environment where all your children can grow and flourish together.

1. Have Open Communication

Communication is the cornerstone of understanding and empathy. Engage your non-special needs child in age-appropriate conversations about the special condition of their sibling. Why are they not in regular school? Why do they need a special needs teacher? What is their condition? How are they different from other kids?

Furthermore, provides clear and honest answers that dispel misconceptions. In addressing their curiosity, you can foster a sense of inclusion. This way, your non-special needs child can view their sibling’s condition with compassion rather than confusion.

2. Set Aside Individual Time

Amid a bustling household, carve out precious one-on-one moments with each child. These moments needn’t be grand gestures—a quiet walk, shared stories, or a baking session can create lifelong memories. What’s important is to affirm each child’s importance in your life by dedicating quality time to each of them separately.

3. Initiate Inclusive Family Activities

Forge stronger bonds by designing family activities that accommodate everyone’s abilities and interests. Whether it’s a picnic, a movie night, or a creative craft session, inclusive activities ensure that every sibling feels valued and involved. After all, the memories forged during these times will become a tapestry of shared experiences that strengthen sibling connections.

4. Establish a Sibling Support System

Siblings are natural allies in the journey of life. Encourage them to support each other through challenges. For instance, you can share stories—fictional or otherwise—of siblings aiding one another in overcoming obstacles, highlighting the strength that comes from standing together. In doing so, you’ll be helping foster a lifelong support network that your children can rely on even after each one grows up and creates their own families.

5. Teach About Embracing Differences

Instil in your children that differences are something to be celebrated rather than feared. As such, they should celebrate your family’s unique diversity. Moreover, communicate openly about how everyone’s strengths contribute to the family’s collective growth. Ultimately, this cultivates an environment of acceptance where each sibling can thrive as their authentic selves.

6. Emphasise Teamwork and Shared Responsibility

It’s important to involve all your children in caregiving tasks and household chores—not because you need their help but because it builds teamwork and a sense of responsibility within the family. Best of all, sharing in the everyday tasks of caring for a brother or sister who’s in need of special care builds empathy towards their plight.

You can assign tasks according to each child’s capabilities and age, and you can also encourage collaboration. Through these shared responsibilities, your children will learn the importance of working together for the greater good.

7. Seek Parental Empowerment

When one child requires additional care, balancing attention and support among siblings can become challenging. That’s why you should remember that each child’s needs are unique, and you should seek a balance that ensures equity rather than equality. What’s more, acknowledge your efforts and know that it’s alright to seek support when needed—you’re doing your best for all your children.

8. Building Emotional Intelligence

Having a child with special needs is not all about challenges and obstacles. It also presents an opportunity to foster emotional growth. Every day, the struggle your other children may face results in grit and determination, as well as emotional development and maturity. Through understanding and empathy, they’ll not only deepen their sibling connections but also cultivate emotional resilience that serves them well in life.

9. Celebrate Achievements

Whether big or small, celebrating milestones and accomplishments reinforces the idea that each child’s achievements are valued. You should therefore make it a point to applaud their efforts and to encourage them to cheer for one another’s successes. This will not only help boost their self-esteem, but it will also strengthen the bonds of siblinghood.

10. Seek External Support

Engaging with support groups and communities that understand your family’s unique situation can provide valuable insights and resources. Connect with local organisations and online platforms tailored to Singaporean parents. These networks can offer valuable advice and guidance that could not just help improve your special child’s quality of life but also your family’s experience. Most of all, the sense of belonging to a community facing similar challenges is priceless.

As parents, nurturing your children’s relationship with each other is both a challenge and an opportunity. Through the suggestions put forward above, your children can develop a strong foundation to build up their relationships even as they grow into adulthood. Ultimately, it’s not about being a brother or a sister’s keeper but being each other’s pillar of support. While special needs children may be limited in their abilities, the lessons in empathy, resiliency, and unconditional love they bring are immeasurable.

The Financial Market in Singapore and Where to Invest

Boasting an ideal combination of strategic location, stringent regulation framework, and vibrant innovation spirit – Singapore offers investors numerous investment opportunities that could prove fruitful as they enter 2025. Here, we examine its current state while looking into some promising sectors worth exploring further investment possibilities. Singapore’s economy recently demonstrated signs of moderation. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth decreased sharply to only 0.4% year-on-year, having reached 2.1% the previous quarter.

Manufacturing Sector

2025’s initial quarter saw manufacturing output decline 5.6% year over year — specifically electronics manufacturing industries that made up 42% of total output weight — and saw significant pressure as global economic growth declined.

Service Sector

The service industry saw steady annual and quarterly increases of 0.5% and 2.0% during the first quarter of 2025. This increase was led by accommodation which experienced 21.9% year-on-year growth due to rebounded international tourism visits, which hit 1.13 million visits in April 2025.

Fight Inflation Continues in Singapore

Singapore remains concerned over inflation, with CPI inflation standing at 5.7% year-on-year, down from 6.6% in January. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) forecast headline and core CPI inflation to average between 5.5%-6.5% in 2025. TradingView provides insight into various investment opportunities available in Singapore. Here is a glimpse at some promising sectors:

Tourism and Hospitality

With COVID-19 restrictions gradually being eased off and an upsurge in international tourism, tourism and hospitality offer excellent growth potential.

Transport Engineering

Transport engineering saw strong annual growth of 14.5%. Marine and offshore engineering saw 24.2% year-on-year increases, and aerospace saw 16.1% yearly gains.

Financial technology (Fintech)

Singapore is widely known for its dedication to innovation and technology, creating an exciting Fintech ecosystem. Institutions such as Singapore Training Institute offer courses and training sessions to strengthen skills related to systemic macro-financial risk analysis, international financial institutions’ legal issues, fintech market development, and industry growth.

Notes on Manufacturing Slowdown

Investors should exercise extreme caution when investing in manufacturing sectors like electronics, chemicals, and biomedical production, which have experienced notable decreases over the past years.

Rising Inflationary Pressures

Surging inflation rates may negatively influence consumer spending habits and investment returns. When making investment decisions, it is imperative to account for these pressures when considering this reality.

Real Estate Market

Singapore’s real estate market witnessed a remarkable resurgence of demand during Q1 of 2025, with new private home sales increasing 29.9% year over year in its luxury segment thanks to domestic and overseas investors. Since physical workplaces were reinstated, office spaces have gradually recovered, with Grade A office rents growing by 3.2% quarter-on-quarter during Q1 2025. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) represent one of the premier opportunities available in real estate investments today.

Healthcare Services

Singapore’s biomedical industry is an impressive testament to the nation’s successful healthcare sector, having experienced 9.2% year-on-year growth during Q1 of 2025. Pharma manufacturing facilities from multinational firms operating here have played a central role.

With an aging population and rising healthcare expenditures, healthcare services represent long-term growth potential. Private providers have seen patient numbers increase while telemedicine has emerged as an opportunity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI and robotic investments have proliferated since Singapore announced its commitment to innovation through the AI Singapore initiative, offering investors ample investment opportunities in these emerging areas.

Green Finance

Singapore has seen an explosion of sustainable investing products, such as green bonds and loan products designed to address climate change. To support international climate action efforts through green finance efforts, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has introduced several initiatives designed to promote this form of financing while aiding climate action efforts globally. Singapore offers investment opportunities in solar-related renewable energy firms.

Education and Training Sector

Higher Education

Singapore’s higher education institutions rank among the best worldwide, drawing international students and researchers. Investment in infrastructure and collaborations with industry partners have fostered an environment conducive to academic excellence and innovation.

Professional Training

With increased emphasis on continuous learning and skill acquisition, professional development centers have flourished. There have never been so many professional development institutions offering courses — such as finance, technology, and healthcare — designed to address workforce requirements.

Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Offer Remarkable Potential

Singapore has quickly emerged as an epicenter for cryptocurrency trading with clear regulations and an inclusive environment, drawing significant exchanges and companies dedicated to digital assets to its shores.

Blockchain Tech

Adopting Blockchain across finance, logistics, and healthcare industries has opened new investment avenues. Singapore stands at the forefront of exploring innovative uses for this revolutionary technology.

Infrastructure Development

Singapore is committed to expanding and modernizing its transportation infrastructure, as evidenced by projects like the Thomson East Coast Line and High-Speed Rail Link with Malaysia, designed to improve connectivity while supporting economic development. Such investments contribute significantly to expanding economic expansion and create jobs.

Smart City Initiatives

The Smart Nation initiative seeks to use technology for urban enhancement. Technology offers ample investment opportunities within this framework, from smart grids and intelligent transportation systems to other innovations integrating into urban infrastructure.

Social Impact Investing and Community Development

Community development projects, affordable housing developments, and social enterprise investments have gained increased focus as impact investing spreads in Singapore. Due to recent efforts of Congress for environmental reform and conservation measures, environmental conservation will likely remain low this year. Environmental conservation projects like reforestation, waste management, and water conservation align perfectly with global sustainability objectives and can create a greener world while reaping financial returns.

Risk and Compliance Strategies in Operations Management

Risk Analysis Tools With the growing complexity of financial markets comes an increased focus on risk management; investing in risk evaluation platforms with real-time analysis and insight is essential in making informed decisions. Regulatory Technology (RegTech) is an approach for overseeing organizational compliance-related regulations. Compliance is an integral component of financial operations in Singapore.

An Expanding Investment Landscape

Diversity, innovation, and resilience will distinguish Singapore’s 2025 financial market. The island state offers multiple avenues of return spanning its investment landscape,

from traditional sectors like real estate and healthcare to emerging niches like cryptocurrency trading platforms like BitCoin. Investors navigating this dynamic market must remain aware of economic trends, regulatory updates, and technological innovations. Platforms like TradingView can provide helpful insight. However, investors must consider macroeconomic factors, sector dynamics, and individual investing goals for optimal success when devising an approach plan.

4 Benefits of Acquiring a Work-Study Diploma in Singapore

A dynamic and innovative approach to tertiary education, Singapore’s work-study programmes are designed to empower students with both academic knowledge and real-world experience. These integrated courses bridge the gap between learning and industry by offering polytechnic and ITE students the unique opportunity to earn while they learn. Participating in such a programme enables students to receive practical training in an assigned workplace—and get a competitive starting salary at the same time—while also having access to structured learning in their respective institutions of higher education.

It typically takes 12 to 36 months to complete work-study diploma courses in Singapore, depending on factors such as the scope of the programme and the requirements of the job. With such a certification, you’ll have plenty of advantages and opportunities as you embark on your professional journey. Here are some of them.

It Shows That You Have Practical Work Experience

Having a work-study diploma demonstrates that you have practical experience under your belt, an attractive quality for many prospective employers. The hands-on experience you gained in these programmes allows you to put theory into practice, a capability that is crucial in real-life work scenarios. This practical exposure also empowers you to make a seamless and effective transition from the academe to the workplace.

Additionally, employers seek candidates who can contribute meaningfully to the organisation from day one and thrive in the workplace with minimal training and supervision. When they see a work-study diploma on a candidate’s resume, they immediately know that the individual possesses a deep understanding of how their knowledge and skills can be effectively used for the company’s benefit. This significantly boosts your employability. Your diploma showcases your versatility, work readiness, and determination to excel in a competitive job market, identifying you as a valuable asset to potential employers.

It Highlights Your Familiarity with Industry-Relevant Technology

Reputable polytechnics and institutes of higher learning offer work-study diploma programmes in partnership with industry leaders in Singapore. In short, you’ll have access to cutting-edge technologies, tools, and techniques that are actively utilised in the field.  Once you enter the workforce full-time, you’ll be able to hit the ground running thanks to your familiarity and proficiency with these existing technologies. A work-study diploma is an assurance that you are equipped with skills that align with the current demands of the job market.

Moreover, participating in work-study enables you to develop a deep understanding of the industry’s best practices. This means you have insights into the real challenges faced by professionals in the field. Your foundation of up-to-date skills and industry knowledge also puts you in a position to eventually become an agile and adaptable employee, ready to adjust to the latest developments. Your diploma will stand out to employers who seek candidates that can make an immediate impact, contributing to innovation and progress within their organisations.

It Adds Credibility to Your Existing Qualifications

Aside from being a collaborative endeavour between respected academic institutions and businesses, work-study programmes carry their own merit. In particular, these diplomas are industry-recognised both locally and internationally, meaning that employers all over the world understand and acknowledge the value that work-study diploma holders bring to the table. This recognition gives you an edge in your job search, as it’s proof of the comprehensive training and real-world experience that you have received.

Moreover, work-study diplomas are designed to complement and enhance existing qualifications and experiences. Whether you are a fresh graduate looking to kick-start your career or a professional seeking to upskill or transition into a new field, a work-study diploma offers a pathway for continuous learning and growth. For instance, it can be used to strengthen your qualifications for a position that’s aligned with your hobbies or personal experiences. It can also prepare you for roles where you must make use of your soft skills, while retaining technical knowledge and field experiences.

It Showcases Your Desire for Personal Growth

Participating in a work-study programme is not just about earning a diploma; it is also a transformative journey that fosters personal growth and showcases one’s drive for continuous self-improvement. Aside from the acquisition of technical knowledge, work-study programmes also provide a fertile ground for developing transferable skills.

Immersing yourself in the professional world presents you with invaluable opportunities to enhance your soft skills. For instance, overcoming challenges and accomplishing assigned tasks in the workplace can boost your self-assurance and encourage you to take on bigger responsibilities. Regularly interacting with colleagues, superiors, and clients can also help you develop communication and collaboration skills. Additionally, claiming ownership of your tasks and projects can promote your sense of independence, decision-making skills, and resourcefulness. These are just some of the qualities that you can develop after having the opportunity to learn in the workplace.

Acquiring a work-study diploma is a good way to launch your professional journey and position yourself for success in your chosen field. With a well-rounded blend of academic knowledge and practical know-how from your work-study experiences, you will be poised to make an immediate impact in the workplace.

8 Things You Should Know about Your Rights as a Consumer in Singapore

Singapore is widely considered to be one of the great shopping capitals of Asia. Each year, millions of tourists head to the city-state to buy electronics, jewellery, speciality food products, luxury bags, haute couture items, and much more. With the lifting of most COVID restrictions, the value of tourism retail is expected to hit over SGD 14 billion in 2025 and is set to completely outdo pre-pandemic levels by 2025.

The city-state has managed to become a preeminent shopping centre thanks to two reasons. First, its geographic position in the Singapore Straits makes it a logistics hub for a large proportion of the world’s goods, with mass-market consumer products often being unloaded and marketed here before the rest of the world has access to them. Second, Singapore has robust consumer protection laws in place to ensure fair transactions and protect consumers’ interests.

If you’re in Singapore and are planning to do some shopping, it’s essential to be aware of your rights as a consumer. Here are several important points to know about your consumer rights when shopping in the city-state.

Pricing and Recommended Retail Price (RRP)

Distributors in Singapore are not obliged to adhere to each product’s recommended retail price (RRP). This means that the actual selling price in stores may vary from the listed RRP.

This is often beneficial for consumers. For instance, corporate procurement managers and tech tourists can purchase cheap mobile phones in Singapore, usually for much lower than the average global RRP due to local competition as well as the efficient logistics available to domestic distributors.

However, in other instances, sellers might tack on an additional premium to the price of certain items, particularly luxury goods, thanks to the extremely high local demand. With no obligation to follow an RRP, they can sell highly desirable items for as much as they want. With this in mind, it’s advisable to compare prices and shop around to ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Sales Policies

If you’re from a country that offers generous return policies, you may be in for a shock. In Singapore, most sales are considered final. This means that it’s crucial to carefully inspect anything you want to buy, preferably in person. Always check for any defects and clarify the store’s return and exchange policies before making a purchase. Keep in mind that some stores may have limited or no return policies at all for certain items such as electronics or sale items.

International Warranties

While many products come with warranties, international warranties may not necessarily apply in Singapore. If the product manufacturer does not have an authorised distributor or service centre in the city, you may be out of luck if the item you purchased turns out to be a lemon. Check with the retailer or manufacturer to determine if your desired products’ warranty is valid in Singapore or if there are any additional conditions to consider.

Finalizing the Price

When making a purchase, ensure that the price is finalized before making any payment. Some sellers may include hidden fees that might be added at the last moment, so it’s important to be clear about just how much you’re really expected to pay. Hand over your cash or card only when the price is confirmed and your purchase is ready to be handed over to you.

Receipts and Proof of Purchase

Always insist on receiving a receipt or proof of purchase for your transaction, particularly for any big-ticket items. This document is essential for any warranty claims, returns, or exchanges that you may need to make in the future. Keep your receipts safe, even in cases where you’ll have to leave Singapore, as warranties on some items may be honoured overseas.

Consumer Dispute Resolution

Tourists who have complaints about retailers or supplies should reach out to the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). If you’re a citizen or resident, reach out to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE is a nonprofit that provides guidance, educational materials, and mediation services to help resolve consumer complaints and disputes. While it explicitly does not assist in disputes, the Singaporean Competition & Consumer Commission (CCCS) also offers some useful resources for consumers.

Online Shopping

These days, you’re most likely to find the best deal on online marketplaces. Unfortunately, shopping online always carries a certain level of risk, particularly if you’re dealing with an unknown seller. Exercise caution and only buy valuable items from reputable websites and sellers. Check customer reviews, compare prices, and ensure that the website is secure before making any payments. As with real-world transactions, be aware of the return policies and hidden fees for your online purchases.

Counterfeit Goods

Singapore has strict laws against the sale of counterfeit goods. Nonetheless, the market for these goods is large and there is no shortage of sellers willing to put up with the risks of getting caught.

While buying counterfeit goods for personal use is not illegal, you should avoid them anyway, even if the price seems too good to be true. These goods not only tend to have poor quality but the proceeds of their sale are often used to fund illegal activities all over the world. Additionally, you will have no legal protection should these goods fail prematurely or cause harm.

An Informed Shopper Is a Safe Shopper

Hopefully, this list will empower you to make informed decisions when shopping in Singapore. Remember to be vigilant, do your research, and assert your rights when necessary. By being an informed consumer, you’ll be more likely to enjoy a fantastic shopping experience in the Lion City.
