Editor’s Note<br />
Published by:<br />
Where will this year take you?<br />
It’s <strong>2019</strong> and although the year has just begun, can’t you just feel the possibilities that<br />
await you in your journey as parents? Of all the resolutions one can make, to be a better<br />
parent has to be one of the most notable ones, for it is directly linked to a selfless kind of<br />
love; The love of a parent towards their child or children. To be a better parent means to<br />
provide the best guidance to your offspring and to of course, to provide for them. The<br />
early developing years, as we all know, is a critical time in the life of a little child, for it’s<br />
when the body and brain undergo rapid development as well as growth. At <strong>Baby</strong><strong>Talk</strong>,<br />
particularly in our <strong>Baby</strong> & Toddler section, this is our main focus, to help parents make full<br />
use of this window of time in their children’s lives.<br />
<strong>Baby</strong><strong>Talk</strong> is a mommy & child magazine that features a special guide each month, with<br />
topics that vary with each issue. Other than the <strong>Baby</strong> & Toddler section, we also have<br />
Bump to Birth, Bright Kids and Life & Style. This New Year’s issue is brimming with ideas,<br />
information and motivation for parents of babies, toddlers and young children, as well as<br />
parents-to-be. We hope you will be able to take it all in and let’s keep the fire of hope and<br />
dreams for our children alive!<br />
Much love to all<br />
Cindy<br />
