CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: Far'ain Jaafar nurtures children to embrace a world of diversity and shared values

Far'ain Jaafar is an author, educator, and advocate for the wellbeing of children and parents. She's written six children's books, several of which address the value of diversity and inclusivity in Singapore's multicultural society. Much of Far'ains dedication to the healthy development of children stems from her own upbringing and her current role as a parent — of a neurodivergent son, and neurotypical daughter, and a foster daughter. Far'ain shares what this journey has taught her about staying true to her heart and finding the space to centre herself.
