There have been many children's books written about Singapore and this would not be the last for sure.

However what caught our eye about this very interesting book, when we were flying on Singapore Airlines recently, was that it was actually featured in Silver Kris (the airline's in-flight magazine).

How do these two parenting styles stand up to each other?

Have you ever wondered why your child behaves the way he or she does, and wondered out loud if it was the food you fed him or the fault of your partner’s defective genes? You are not alone.
