The well-being of a family is crucial for a well-developed society. Therefore, Family and Parenting Centre (FPC) from the Department of Psychology at HELP University, led by Ms. Sybella Ng, a psychologist and lecturer at HELP University, is collaborating with Malaysian Child Resource Institute (MCRI) to launch L.I.F.E. Program.   L.I.F.E. Program stands for Literacy Impact and Family Education aims to improve literacy in children and equip parents with the ability to empower their children.

According to Nielsen’s 2015 Trends in the Global Baby Food and Diaper Markets , rapid urbanisation, growth of the middle class and rising rates of female participation in the work force have encouraged the adoption of convenience-focused lifestyles, making online shopping the go-to platform for parents. Coupled with increased smartphone and internet usage, there is a compelling proposition for parents to shop whenever and wherever they want, so much as to connect p...
