Child Care

**ABOUT THE DADS CLUB** The Dads Club is **a free evening for new fathers** at Mother and Child Singapore at Tanglin Mall, run in partnership with Alliance Counselling. It is not a support group. There is no sitting in a circle, no requirement to share anything. Food and drinks are on arrival. You get a drink, talk to whoever is there, and the evening takes shape from there. At around the hour mark there is a short piece on the science of what your body and brain are actually doing **in the first year of fatherhood**.

**Are you tired of cookie-cutter parenting advice that doesn't seem to work for your child?** Most parenting strategies focus on trying to change or fix a child's behavior. It’s exhausting, frustrating, and rarely yields long-term results. This interactive, 3-hour weekend meetup is designed to flip the script. Instead of guessing, we use the **TMGT™ Biometric Blueprint** to decode exactly how your child is uniquely and biologically wired to learn, react, and grow. ### 💡 What We Will Discover Together: * **The Learning Blueprint:** See exactly how your child naturally processes and absorbs new information. * **The Pressure Gauge:** Discover how they handle setbacks and what specific environments they need to thrive under stress. * **Zero Guesswork:** Move past mood-dependent personality quizzes. Get an objective understanding of their innate traits. ### 🛠️ How It Works (And Why It’s Safe): This is a live, hands-on experiential session. * **Who should attend:** This workshop is highly optimized for parents with children aged 4 to 16. **Your child must attend with you**, as we will be mapping their traits in real-time! * **Is it secure?** Absolutely. We use zero digital scanners or tracking databases. Fingerprints are simply stamped on physical paper on-site to look at the visual pattern coding (loops and whorls). No data is recorded, stored, or digitized. ### 🤝 About the Organizer & Sponsor This complimentary community discovery experience is proudly sponsored and brought to you by **DKO**, an agency group of Prudential Assurance Company Singapore. As part of our community talent development and career-wellness initiatives, our goal is to provide a value-first, educational environment to help local families thrive.

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
