After 2 weeks of confinement, this is the first trip Mummy Eliz took Princess on; attending a dental talk with puppets and songs by Dr. Friendly, organized by Auntie Pei Yee from the home-schooling group.
Dr. Friendly is already 68 years old, yet he is so passionate and involved in the teaching of proper dental care to pre-schoolers.
Read more about him at http://dr.friendly.books.googlepages.com/.
A short extract:
“The "real" Dr. Friendly is Dr. Lim Swee Teck. Considered by many in the dental profession as Singapore's founding father of children's dental care, he has more than 40 years of experience in treating children.”
He authored the Healthy Smile Series of books which is another milestone in his continuing efforts to help children have the right attitude towards dental health care; details about the books are available at his URL.
When he was asked why are the books [with colorful glossy pages] being sold at only $5 each, his answer was that he do not want to bring his knowledge together with him into his grave.
This is really active meaningful aging.
