Why did we publish Tim & Kim?
Real words from parents and caregivers who wanted more than just a bedtime story.
"I have limited time meeting my nieces and nephews. Within those limited time, I wish to have a meaningful discussion with them. This book reminds me on what I need to explore with them without being preachy."
— An aunt who values presence
"I arrive at home in the evening. I have to prepare for dinner, see my kids' progress at school, clean up and prepare for tomorrow. I really don't have any idea how to fill quality time together with my kids. This book creates a bridge for me, without thinking too hard to please my kids, but actually enjoying the journey inside the book."
— A busy working parent
"Sometimes I don't know the right answer for their questions. Or even their latest updates. But I still want to build a legacy for my kids. I worked hard and invest their school tuition and sports courses. I'm not sure where that leads them to. This book helps me to shape my legacy for them from my experience and my parents' experience too (their grandparents). It reminds me how my parents used to teach me, so this book reminds me the best way up to this day how we do things."
— A parent building legacy
"I have different interests from my kids. Sometimes they like to go to the mall or just hang out with their friends. But sometimes I feel so unattached to them. I don't know whether they are happy hanging out with their friends or whether they are filling their time with something really useful. This book helps me to navigate that without being too nosy."
— A parent staying connected

What do I get from this?
More than stories — a framework for the conversations that shape a life.
A family legacy, in your words
Create a family legacy on how we do things and career options or even sports preferences.
An investment that pays forward
It's an investment — we never know what they will encounter in life, yet we've paid so much for their tuition fee and courses. We just hope they'll make the right decisions when the time comes.
Navigating their world early
Unresolved problems in kids usually shall impact their adult life. This book helps us to navigate their trauma, preferences and even prepare them for it.
Mending the gaps
I read how divorce leads to economic turbulence and impairs family relationships. This book helps to mend that gap and perhaps prevent another misunderstanding, if we understand our challenges since we were kids. It's even better to have an adult that cares for their problems since they were children.
Monthly member benefit
Members can request a topic on a monthly basis, along with their proposed solution too — let's just say we give more experienced options for our kids.
