This book is the fruit of a strategic team of thought leaders: a diverse circle of PhDs, medical doctor, physiotherapist, cognitive specialist, educational therapist, parents, accrediting trainers, coaches, and practitioners. They are united by a shared mission. That is to nurture the next generation with wisdom and knowledge. Each contributor brings not only expertise, but also a unique voice shaped by lived experience. Together, they offer practical insights rooted in deep care for children and families. More than individual experts, they stand as a collective with this book, guiding parents and educators with holistic perspectives to help young minds thrive in today’s complex world.
“Planted With Purpose succeeds as a cohesive, high-impact anthology that showcases the strength of multi-voice storytelling. Each contributor adds meaningful texture to the collection, offering authentic insights into resilience, identity formation, and faith-driven transformation. The editorial structure is strong – well-paced, thematically unified, and accessible to a broad audience. The personal narratives avoid sentimentality while still delivering emotional resonance. As a complete work, the book demonstrates impressive clarity of vision and strong market appeal within the inspirational and personal-growth genres. It is positioned well for readers seeking reflective, hopeful narratives grounded in real-life experience.”

“I am bowled over how the book’s messaging in Appropriate Discipline – Love in Action. This particular Chapter stands out in a distinctive style in Part I, given its cohesive integration of personal testimonies with broader parenting insight. The chapter succeeds in guiding readers to rethink discipline as an act that shapes character, nurtures emotional safety, and fosters long-term resilience.
This chapter is a powerful and emotionally rich exploration of what “discipline” truly means. Rather than focusing on punishment or control, it reframes discipline as love expressed through guidance, boundaries, humility, and perseverance. The four personal stories by Ho Wei Siong, Dorothy Yeo, Richard Giam, and Anand Mark bring depth and authenticity to this theme. Each narrative offers a different lens. Together, these stories create a cohesive message: Appropriate discipline is indeed not a technique. It is a way of seeing a child’s potential and shaping an environment where that potential can grow.”

“Planted With Purpose is a powerful guide for anyone raising, teaching, or supporting today’s children and youths. What makes this book exceptional is how it brings together the wisdom of diverse experts to address the whole child – their emotions, identity, health, learning, posture, nutrition, language development, and future readiness. Each chapter offers practical, compassionate insights that help parents and educators nurture confident, resilient, and ethical young people in a fast-changing world. The authors honour the challenges families face while empowering them with hopeful, actionable strategies rooted in science, empathy, and real lived experience.
This is more than a parenting book; it is a blueprint for raising a generation with strong values, healthy minds and bodies, and the skills to thrive with purpose. Planted With Purpose is timely, thoughtful, and deeply needed.”
