Micronutrients, though needed in minute amounts, play a critical role in early development of any young child
Rise & Shine is a movement started by a group of mothers in Singapore with the mission to provide parents and educators alike an opportunity to learn, share and identify holistic approaches in raising healthier and happier children. It is supported by Health Promotion Board, Essential Parenting (under Ministry of Social and Family Development), National Family Council, SingHealth, Dads for Life, Singapore General Hospital, KK's Women and Children Hospital, Mount Alvernia Hospital and Thomson Medical Centre.
The Rise & Shine Carnival in March kick starts the movement's efforts which include outreach to parents at public libraries and preschools, access for parents to a panel of experts, extensive online resources, and its flagship activity – the Rise & Shine Expo, the only children's healthcare and development expo in Singapore held from 27 to 29 September 2013 at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre Hall 401.
Rise & Shine Expo visitors can expect over 120 exhibitors showcasing more than 500 products and services for newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and mummies; over 60 seminars and workshops on children's health and development; over 30 trial classes for the little ones to try out new activities and courses; and lots of entertainment and competitions for kids.
