Learn: How much gaming is too much

Online gaming can become addictive for children and parents alike due to many reasons.
For one thing, it provides an escape from reality as the gamer temporarily disconnects from responsibilities such as homework and household chores.
But how much gaming is too much? Explore the topic with your kids, especially if they are aged seven to 10, in a free workshop at the Jurong Regional Library on Saturday from 3.30 to 5pm.
The session is part of a global initiative by software company Eset called Safer Kids Online. The Singapore workshop will be led by its president for the Asia-Pacific region and Japan, Mr Parvinder Walia, and is co-organised with the National Library Board.

Catch a series of Disney movies for free at ArtScience Cinema at Marina Bay Sands.
From Tuesday to Sunday, there is the animated musical hit Moana (2016), which tells the story of a strong-willed teenage girl who sets sail on an epic journey to help save her tribe. Star Dwayne Johnson, who was the voice of demigod Maui in the film, said in April that Disney is developing a live-action version. This makes it a good time to rewatch the animation with your kids, especially if they were too young to appreciate the story when it was released.
There are also screenings of animated film Raya And The Last Dragon (2021) till Saturday, as well as live-action movie The Jungle Book (2016) till Aug 3.
The ArtScience Cinema is hosting the Singapore premiere of Penguin Highway (2018), an anime movie based on the book by best-selling author Tomihiko Morim. Join Aoyama and his friends as they solve the mystery of disappearing penguins.
Tickets to Penguin Highway screenings, which end on July 30, are priced at $12 a person. ArtScience Friends and Sands LifeStyle members enjoy special rates.
