Raising a child is no easy feat. It’s adorable when they finally start walking and talking, but there are other things to think about to set them up for success in the future, like developing learning skills, cultivating hobbies and interests, making sure that the house is safe and secure now that they can run around, the list goes on.

So on your exciting yet hectic journey as parents, here’s a list of modern gadgets that can lend a helping hand:

#1 Pencil grip

This is not necessarily to improve your child’s handwriting but to help them hold and use the pencil in a way that is more comfortable and less tiring. This way, they won’t easily give up on writing tasks as they grow older.

#2 Night light with sound machine

Your child may wake up at odd hours in the night, which could disrupt your sleep. Having a night light like this makes your child feel safer when it’s dark, keeps them in bed until it’s a reasonable time to wake up, and also plays sounds like waves, white noise or lullaby to help them sleep better.

#3 Reading and writing system

This solution is equipped with tools to help your child learn to read and write at an earlier age, less stress for parents! All they need to do is touch pages or words to hear the sound of words, as well as play games to build vocabulary and comprehension. It also teaches writing with stroke-by-stroke guidance, and tracing letters and numbers.

#4 Smart robot

We used to pick up STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills by playing with building blocks when we were little. Now, your child can learn high-tech skills from robots! Introducing robotics to your child can also start cultivating skills like creativity, problem solving, communication, and teamwork.

#5 Digital mini camera

Another great way to give kids a creative outlet is getting them a camera. Of course, you should consider something that fits their age and not the professional DSLRs Instafamous people are using. There are many cameras for kids out there, as long as you pick one that balances simplicity and functionality. You could be raising a budding photographer!

#6 Humidifier

It’s quite common for young kids to get coughs and flus several times a year, no thanks to our infamous unpredictable Malaysian weather that can be scorching hot or raining all year round. This is when humidifiers can help tremendously with respiratory or skin concerns. Keep your children’s room clean and germ-free to help them get better sleep at night as well.
