What Does Success Truly Mean? Reflections from a Parenting Webinar

On 1 November 2025, TRANS FSC (Bukit Timah)’s Parenting Webinar brought together parents from diverse backgrounds for an online conversation that challenged one key question: “What does success truly mean for our children?”

In today’s fast-paced world, many parents grapple with balancing academic achievement, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth. The session encouraged parents to pause and reflect on the broader meaning of success beyond grades, trophies, or milestones.

Through sharing and interactive discussions, participants explored how success can be redefined as a journey of resilience, curiosity, and self-discovery. Parents were also guided to consider how nurturing emotional intelligence, empathy, and confidence can empower children to thrive in their own unique ways.

The webinar was a poignant reminder on how every child’s path is different, and that success doesn’t come with comparison, but with connection — between parents and children, and between who they are and who they can become.

Engaging Youths Through the Art of Coffee-Making

It was a Sunday wafting with the aroma of coffee for youth clients from Bedok and Bedok Reservoir FSCs! With the support of the EtonHouse Community Fund, they were engaged in a workshop at the EtonHouse Garden By the Bay where they learnt the history of coffee, basic coffee-brewing operations, as well as the sustainability of the coffee industry. This opportunity also led them to discover their interest in this area and sparked the possibility of barista work as a career pathway. Following the workshop, the 32 youths and their families were treated to a visit to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. It was a day well-spent as they were given the chance to appreciate nature and bond with their families.

Celebrating Strength, Connection and Community – Migrant Brides Project

On a Saturday afternoon, TRANS Family Services marked Mother’s Day with a special programme for our migrant mothers and their children. The celebration provided a welcoming space for participants to share experiences and affirm one another, and build new friendships over a meal. Beyond celebrating Mother’s Day, the gathering also offered an opportunity for participants to share their hopes, interests and ideas for future activities, helping to shape a community that is supportive, empowering and participant-led. While mothers actively participated in the discussion, their children were engaged in making keychains from air-dry clay facilitated by volunteers. We are grateful to all the mothers, children, volunteers and staff who contributed to making the day a joyful and memorable one. Through initiatives such as the Migrant Brides Project, TRANS Family Services remains committed to fostering meaningful connections, strengthening support networks, and creating opportunities for women and families to thrive together.
