Singapore Goes Family-Friendly
The government in Singapore is funding grants to help make businesses there more family-friendly. The “Pro-Family Business Grant”, as they call their program, enables merchants to apply to receive up to S$20,000 to make their establishments more family friendly.
I think this is a splendid idea and I would be delighted to see local governments here in the U.S. take up a similar cause. Wouldn’t it be great to see restaurants, retail stores, hotels, and other businesses catering more to families — and investing capital and resources into staff training, furniture and finishings to make going out as a family less worrisome and more enjoyable? I know I’d support those companies with my business and with referrals!

My husband and I took our son, who was 16 months old at the time, to Singapore a few months ago and we found it to be very family friendly. High chairs in restaurants and changing tables in the restrooms were readily available.
