Ramadan Kareem to you and your family, and welcome to the March issue of Mother, Baby and Child! You’ll find in-depth recommendations for wonderful Iftars between pages 10 and 15, from a fire-themed feast set against a backdrop of ancient olive trees, to delicious Mediterranean cuisine under the ‘stars’. On page 9, we highlight a ladies pampering extravaganza, perfect for Mother’s Day, an exciting kids’ cooking class, and a self-development workshop...

I hope you’re looking forward to Valentine’s Day! This is an occasion that can be marked in so many different ways, but the one thing they all have in common is LOVE! Whether that means a beautiful dinner with someone special, a relaxing afternoon tea with friends or an indulgent spa day for two - you’ll find some fun ideas on page 48...

Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m wishing you a prosperous, fun-filled, and healthy one too. This time of year often brings plenty of talk of resolutions and self-improvement and, while that’s often a good thing, it can lead to lots of pressure! I spoke with Kamelia Salimi, CEO and owner of Zoga, about her top three ways to stay grounded when it comes to goal-setting for the year ahead. Give it a read on page 20 - I hope the pointers help you on your way to success! And if your goals involve setting aside a little more time for yourself, there are some important ideas to take on board, on page 16, as you embark on your journey.

Can you believe it’s almost the end of this year already?! The first thing I want to do is to thank you very much for registering and attending our events this year! Your attendance at our events means we can better support you with practical demonstrations, opportunities to sit face-toface with a whole host of incredible parenting and wellbeing experts and, most importantly, for us to meet each other and deepen our relationship together! The more you attend, the more we can support you, and I really love that we’re in this together - so, thank you again!

On the cover of this month’s issue, you’ll see that we take an in-depth look at the many ways learning music can benefit your child. I remember finding so much joy in music as a girl, but what I didn’t know at the time was just how much it helped my development. From changes in the brain, to teamwork skills, the language-learning  advantages and the sense of wellbeing it evokes, engaging with music can be like a superpower for kids! Don’t miss out on this fascinating article on page 24.

With the school year well underway, every mum is back into the swing of the term time routine! For some kids, the classroom can bring along a whole host of academic, social and personal pressures. Considering the inﬂuence this has on children’s happiness, I decided to dedicate the entire Education Section to exploring the key touchpoints of a successful experience at  school, because I believe it will be helpful to many parents around the UAE this year. Make sure to give it a read on page 33

As a girl, I can remember that the summer break seemed to stretch on forever and ever… until that first day of term, which always felt like a rude awakening! Of course, from a mother’s point of view, things look very different and you’ll notice the change to your child’s  habits, focus and schedule. Going back to the classroom is full of transitions, new people and new routines. Sometimes kids need a helping hand to make sure they adapt smoothly. With this in mind, we’ve carried a useful article on page 23 all about the best ways to help your little one make friends - a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to feeling well adjusted in the classroom!

With only a few weeks left to go before school begins, many mothers are turning their minds towards the term ahead, particularly anyone sending their child to school for the first time! In this issue, you’ll find an interesting piece on page 35, all about how to gently help prepare your little one for this important milestone. 

Mother, Baby & Child is your partner in parenting in the UAE. With you every step of the way, from pre-conception, to pregnancy and giving birth, as well as baby and toddler, leading up to the pre-teen years.  www.motherbabychild.com

This is the month of Eid-al-Fitr and I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a joyful celebration, no matter which wyou decide to mark the occasion!

Ramadan Kareem to you and your families. This month, on pages 10 and 11, you’ll find my recommendations for wonderful Iftars that take your family on a journey, from a Michelin star chef making delicious Indian cuisine, to a unique  Bedouin-style Zarb Iftar on the beach. Elsewhere in the Things to Do section is a free family fair, where you and your children can enjoy a pop-up market, fitness classes, kids activities and lots of tasty food! 

I hope you’ve had a great start to the new year and are looking forward to Valentine’s Day! With so much love in the air this month, I’ve been thinking about all the ways there are to celebrate. From dinner in an amazing restaurant, to a really thoughtful gift, or even a casual trip to the movies, you’ll find plenty of lovely suggestions on page 45.


Happy New Year to you and your family! I’m wishing you a healthy, prosperous and fun-filled
2023. For any mums who’s resolution is to eat well, there is a great article on page 13, all about a healthy food delivery service that can support you  being your healthiest self this year. There are many styles of plan to choose, from high protein, vegetarian and vegan, and even one for mums who are breastfeeding.

Hello Mum! I can’t believe it’s December already - 2022 has flown! In this issue, you’ll find an interesting piece on page 29, all about how to gently help any children  who suffer with perfectionism and might be holding themselves back! I had the pleasure of interviewing Simon Crane, principal of Brighton College Dubai, all about the English Language Support Programme that he will be running, designed for kids learning English as a second language  (p.40)...

In this issue, you’ll find an interesting piece on page 20, all about how organic food can help your family, your health and the planet without costing a fortune! I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Atkins, principal of Durham school, for this issue. We take an inside look on page 36 at what makes a good education, what challenges students face today and how to keep kids
motivated in the classroom.

This is the last month of the summer holidays before school starts, so our cover story is about the benefits of family vacations to children, their development, and their emotional wellbeing. If you’re thinking about booking a holiday or a short break that really counts, check out page 46 to read up on the power of good it will do - especially on foot of two years of pandemic life.

As you can see, this is a very special edition of Mother Baby & Child, as it’s the first time we’ve featured a man on the front cover! And not just any man - it’s a new father. When pregnant, many women have concerns such as fear of birth, how to handle work life, whether they will be a good mother and how to look after a newborn. So it can be no surprise that new fathers-to-be also have secret concerns. The difference is that in general, men tend to communicate these fears and stresses much less than women. 

We’re nearing the end of the school year and every mum knows how their individual child feels about that! For many kids, exam season brings out anxiety and other children can’t wait to see the back of their school! It’s a time to assess how school has gone and whether your child is really getting exactly what they need from their education.
