I'm a full-time mummy

This is my first Dr. Seuss app review. I have always wondered what is so special with Dr. Seuss's books as I've seen it being recommended by some other mummy bloggers, so when there is an opportunity to review one of his apps, I immediately jumped at the chance! Anyway, my review as below...

Description from the product page:

""Left foot. Left foot.
 Right foot. Right.
 Feet in the morning.
 Feet at night."

"The FOOT Book" is a delightful tribute to the diverse and multifaceted world of feet. Dr. Seuss has put his best foot forward here, in a whimsical approach to showcasing opposites. Wet feet contrast dry and low feet contrast high. As always, the rhymes are quick and quirky, and Seuss's illustrations will knock kids' socks off. "

What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive and I love that we can also touch the objects in each page on the screen and the words pop out to tell you what it is!

* I like that I can teach Ben in a more creative and humourous ways about foot!

* I like the way foot is being taught in this app: rhymes, opposites, sizes, and more! Love it!

"Only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things. ~ Denis Diderot"

As I read the above quote, I was reminded of the time back when I was still in the workforce, being so passionate with what I'm doing, working hard and giving my best in whatever tasks assigned to me.

In my opinion, an employee wants to feel appreciated and have a sense of belonging in order to be motivated and work harder in a company.

I still remember back when I was working in a multinational bank in 2007, that was the first time I learned that the bank I worked for carries out a lot of approaches in order to be engaged with its employees. The purpose of doing so is to get the employees' feedback so that the company can try their best to accommodate and satisfy its employees. One of the approaches carried out by the bank is the Employee Survey scheme which was done annually.

Each and every employee of the bank will be given a time off to fill up their feedback anonymously in the survey form and these feedback will be compiled and processed by the Human Resource Department and recommendations will then be suggested and implemented by the bank if they realised it is for the good of all parties.

I feel that it is good for a company to do so as not only they get to have its employees' feedback of the company and their satisfaction or dissatisfaction of their workplace and/or workload, the employees also feel appreciated and happy that their employer cares for them and wants to make their workplace a better and happy environment to work in.

If you are working, what motivates you as an employee?

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

You see, there are several times after taking a few bites of his meal (quite often during dinner), Ben refuses to finish up his meal. I know some parents will teach their kid a lesson by not letting them eat later when they get hungry. Kinda like a lesson to their child that you can't always get what you want.

But I can't see myself doing that.

I don't want to be pleading to my child to finish up their meal too - else I would be doing that everytime this happens.

Now what I do is, if he doesn't want to eat anymore (after asking him and confirming that he's not hungry yet), I'll move his plate away and when he gets hungry later, I will make him oats and add in whatever dishes we had earlier (example: chicken or fish or vegetables)

He always finishes up his meal after that. That's what I wanted in the first place, just that he doesn't finishes it together with us during meal times.

When it comes to meal time, how do you ensure your child finishes their meal?
