Raising Kids in New Zealand vs Singapore: The Biggest Surprises | Uncut Clip from Ep 01

🎓 How different is raising kids in Singapore compared to abroad? In this conversation, we explore the contrasts between Singapore’s world-renowned education system and what Pamela has experienced raising her children in New Zealand.

From the pressure of early tuition and enrichment classes in Singapore, to the more open and balanced classroom styles in New Zealand, this discussion goes beyond academics — it’s about values, childhood, and the future we’re preparing our kids for. 🌍

We also reflect on a bigger question: can the old systems that shaped us still work in a rapidly changing world? And if change is inevitable, how do we as parents, professionals, and individuals adapt?

👉 If you’ve ever thought about career transitions, moving abroad, or giving your children a different kind of life, this perspective will resonate deeply — and you can catch the full conversation in the episode https://youtu.be/WIb7cKcqJ4Q?si=TWTGAuaUbFFZvL_B
