Hi Everyone,

Thank you for stopping by!

For those who are new here, my name is Cindy, also known as ‘Red Dot Mum’. I started a blog in 2012 to create a generativity blog for my children, sharing family and life skills I picked up while raising a home and family.

There have been some recent changes, and I want to update everyone.

Life Work: When I began my life story, it was just a generativity blog. Life has mushroomed a lot since then. Now I run an independent practice, Red Dot Mum (RDM) Wellness, which provides mental health services to improve individual and family well-being. I conduct an inclusive narrative life writing – group work programme (online) and mental health counselling and psychotherapy services for neurodivergent individuals and families (online/onsite).

Home Matters: Spring cleaning isn’t just for spring! Our shared spaces affect everyone, whether at home or in the office. The items we own impact our physical and mental space. It’s important to assess what we have regularly, keep what we love, and let go of what we don’t need.

Family Education Matters: I’ve enjoyed participating in interviews and online presentations, contributing to open cultural resources. One such project is “An Experts’ Insight on Maternal Parenting Stress,” part of the “Advice from the Field: Creating Open Resources in Relationship Science” by the University of British Columbia. It was a rewarding experience, even conducted online during Covid. I’m proud to contribute to Family Science and psychological education.
