Adventure time for your little explorers
Meet every parent’s BFF for living in the new normal.
When you’ve got a kid, you’ve got to expect the unexpected. Random scrapes, tumbles and bumps — you name it, you’ve got to be prepared for it. And while we think that it might all change because of these uncertain times (and staying at home more), trust us when we say that with kids, everyday’s an adventure — and it doesn’t matter if you’re indoors or outdoors.
What happens when you #stayathome
When you’re ordered to #stayathome, there’s no choice but to dig deep and find ways to keep the kids entertained. Sadly, even a simple baking activity or even building a fort could result in an accident, especially for young ones who aren’t as careful. And parents, we can all agree that this is almost always the case!
Heading outdoors?
While we love being outdoors, we know that it isn’t always the greatest for kids who are prone to mozzie bites, especially come dengue season. In fact, as of June 2021, the NEA has reported 2,700 active cases of dengue, plus 22 active clusters — yikes! Which is why it’s important to slather on the repellent and be extra cautious. Heading to the playground? You’ll want to have hand sanitizer at the ready to prevent HFMD too!
Ordering in?
Loving all these food delivery options? Sure, they’re super convenient, but they could also put bub at risk for food poisoning. When you factor in the extra travel time, plus all the hands involved in food prep, this could mean bad news for all the tummies in the family. Yikes!
Why we love GREAT Junior Protector

Today’s women often take on many roles. Daughter. Sister. Girlfriend. Wife. Mother. Even loving mum to a fur kid. You may have a demanding full-time job and perhaps a list of chores when you get home amongst other responsibilities and commitments. Maybe the only break you get is when everyone is sound asleep.
It’s easy to ride on the momentum and take on everything. But remember, we’re not super human. It’s totally ok to chill out and take a break. Give yourself permission to say ‘no’ when you just don’t have it in you.
In fact, breaks are essential to restore motivation and help you come back stronger. So it’s important to consciously take pockets of quality time for yourself. It can be a 5-min walk through the park on your way home to connect with nature. Or simply enjoying a lovely drink at the close of a busy day.
