August 2025 | Happy National Day from the SG-LEADS Team!

As we celebrate SG60, let’s reflect on the shared values that have shaped our nation: multiculturalism, boldness, resilience, and openness. At SG-LEADS, we believe that these are also essential qualities to nurture in our children—the next generation of Singaporeans.

Currently, about 65% of families have participated. We need to hear from more of you!

If you have NOT joined Wave 3 yet, your participation is needed for the study to generate accurate data to inform policies and programmes that help families and communities foster these values from early childhood so that every child can grow to be confident, productive, and compassionate and thrive in a diverse and dynamic Singapore.

Contact Us to make an appointment or ask any questions: Email us at sgleads@sics.a-star.edu.sg or ips.soclab.sgleads@nus.edu.sg.

As a token of our appreciation, each family will receive SGD $150 in vouchers PER CHILD and gifts for children participating.

21 January 2025 | Grow Well SG to Support Families in Building Healthy Habits in Children

The Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) have jointly launched Grow Well SG, a new national health promotion strategy to enhance preventive care and inculcate healthier lifestyles in children and adolescents. The multi-ministry strategy is aimed at holistically addressing children’s health and well-being in the digital age. Grow Well SG has been informed by findings from studies like Singapore Longitudinal Early Development Study (SG-LEADS) and Growing Up in Singapore Towards Healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) to emphasise early intervention in key areas, to help children establish healthy lifestyle habits from young.
