    How can I be a good parent … if I went to jail?

    Growing up with an absent father, ‘James’ was jailed twice as a young man. But when he became a parent, he told himself he would never leave his two sons without a father. He ended up doing exactly that when he was sentenced to nearly four years in prison.  In this special episode of Imperfect by CNA Insider, we go behind the walls of Changi Prison to find out what it’s like to live with perhaps the worst mistake you’ve ever made as a parent. Can ‘James’ still be a good father to his teenage sons? And why is he so sure this stint in prison will be his last? This is the final episode in this season.

    Am I a bad parent … if I give my toddler screen time?

    Danial Shahrin, 29, and his wife had set out not wanting to give their 2-year-old any screen time. Then life got in the way, and TV became a convenient tool. But when Danial realised his son's speech was lagging behind his peers', he wondered if they’d done wrong by him. Is there really a link between screen time and speech delay?  And how can screen time be used beneficially?

    Am I a bad parent ... if I left my children to do humanitarian work?

    Tam Wai Jia, 35, had always known that humanitarian work would be her life. She had even spent a year serving in Uganda with her husband. But when the doctor was given a chance to go to Africa on a medical mission for seven weeks, her first instinct was to say no - because it took her away from her daughters aged two and four at the time. She talks about making that decision and the lessons she learnt. If you’ve got a view on the topic or a story idea for future episodes, reach out at cnainsider@mediacorp.com.sg.
