For COL (NS) Mohd Khaidir Bin Rahman (left, in navy blue) and LTC (NS) Su Caizheng, parenting is all about diving in \u2014 from prawning and pool time to whatever adventure gets the kids grinning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Bonding styles come in many forms. While some parents find connection over shared meals or family vacations, for COL (NS) Mohd Khaidir Bin Rahman and LTC (NS) Su Caizheng \u2014 who both navigate irregular work hours \u2014 it\u2019s physical play that best strengthens bonds with their children.<\/p>

Whether it\u2019s the triumphant hugs after clearing an obstacle course or belly laughs from a trampoline tumble, these dads have discovered that movement fuels more than fun \u2014 it forges core memories and nurtures resilience, confidence and empathy in their children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ask LTC (NS) Su Caizheng\u2019s kids which playground is their favourite, and you\u2019ll likely hear: \u201cDaddy\u2019s Playground\u201d \u2014 their affectionate nickname for the HomeTeamNS Khatib indoor children playground T-Play<\/a>. It\u2019s a spot the family visits often, and one that holds special meaning for Caizheng, too. He previously served as Vice-Chairman for HomeTeamNS Khatib’s Executive Committee and now contributes as a member of the Management Committee and Co-Chairman of the Development Committee for the upcoming Tengah Clubhouse, while also sitting on the Strategic Review Committee.<\/p>

To him, play isn\u2019t just about having fun \u2014 it\u2019s a foundation for growth and connection with his son and two daughters. \u201cI want them to grow up adaptable and curious,\u201d he says, adding that he\u2019s always on the lookout for new adventures. \u201cWhen we try new things, be it a travel experience, a new game or even navigating a crowded MRT station, they learn to embrace the unfamiliar. It builds confidence and openness.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Whether at home or out exploring, Caizheng cherishes the little moments that reveal who his kids are \u2014 and who they\u2019re becoming.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In these playful moments, Caizheng has come to appreciate the unique traits of each child. \u201cMy nine-year-old son\u2019s a thinker and is always sharing fun facts about insects or animals we come across. My eldest daughter, also nine \u2014 they\u2019re twins \u2014 surprises me with her boldness. She\u2019s always asking to try new foods and nudging her younger sister out of her shell,\u201d shares the 41-year-old father, who currently serves as Unit Commander of SCDF\u2019s 32 Rescue Unit. \u201cAnd at seven, my youngest is the most sensitive and can always pick up when someone in the family is feeling down.\u201d<\/p>

Despite their different personalities, the trio easily agrees on what to do next, united by their love for adventure. \u201cIt\u2019s very democratic,\u201d Caizheng says with a laugh, though he admits that the occasional ice cream bribe helps sweeten the deal.<\/p>

However, one activity is always unanimous: The claw machine. For Caizheng, even this becomes a life lesson: \u201cI tell them to keep trying, even if it takes ten losses before the prize finally drops.\u201d Those small wins, he says, bring big joy and bring them closer together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Through these shared adventures, Caizheng\u2019s children have grown confident enough to pursue their own passions \u2014 from taekwondo to ballet \u2014 with him right beside them, cheering them on even when it means pushing his own limits.<\/p>

He once joined his son\u2019s taekwondo classes in 2021 despite an ACL injury, just to help him feel confident in a new environment.\u00a0\u201cHe was really shy and afraid to be in a class full of strangers,\u201d Caizheng recalls. \u201cI struggled through every class, but I wanted to show him that if we set out to do something, we give our all.\u201d Painful knees aside, he has no regrets. \u201cI\u2019m proud to say that my son has since attained his black belt,\u201d he beams.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

From belt gradings to ballet recitals, the family makes it a point to show up for one another \u2014 a reminder that whatever the challenge, they\u2019ll always be in each other\u2019s corner.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These efforts have strengthened his ties with his children. \u201cThey see me not just as Dad, but as a playmate, travel buddy \u2014 and sometimes, the butt of the joke (lovingly, of course),\u201d he says.<\/p>

While proud of their achievements, Caizheng lights up even more at how they\u2019ve taken ownership of family time, coming up with activity wish lists, suggesting games and even creating simple timetables to fairly divide time between their favourite activities and screen time. Their car rides are often filled with laughter and impromptu \u201ccar-aoke\u201d sessions, proving that even the in-between moments can become cherished memories.<\/p>

Despite his demanding schedule, Caizheng makes it a point to be present. \u201cThe effort has to be intentional,\u201d he says. \u201cWe all know that life gets busy, so start small and be present \u2014 even if you\u2019re just holding their ice cream while they play.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From bowling at HomeTeamNS Bukit Batok<\/a> to outdoor walks, kayaking and go-karting, physical activity is a natural language of love for Khaidir\u2019s family, especially with his two high-energy kids \u2014 a 14-year-old son and a 13-year-old daughter. \u201cWe used to do these activities just to tire them out, so they would sleep better,\u201d he recalls with a laugh.<\/p>

But as an educator, these outings have always held deeper purpose. \u201cIt\u2019s important for them to try different things so they can explore, stay curious and eventually discover their own passions in life,\u201d he says, adding that such experiences help them become more flexible in adapting to different challenges. \u201cThis gives them the confidence to face unfamiliar situations in the future.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The family on their 2024 winter holiday in Maibara, Japan \u2014 where, after a full day of tumbles, they finally learnt to ski without falling.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Their growing list of activities includes everything from trekking and prawning to scaling courses at Adventure HQ<\/a> and snow sports abroad. Many of their adventures begin spontaneously \u2014 sparked by a TV show, Instagram post or just a casual chat where everyone pitches in ideas. One standout memory? A \u2018DIY\u2019 ski trip in Japan where the family hit the slopes armed with only knowledge from YouTube videos to help them prep. There were plenty of falls and fumbles, but Khaidir remembers the laughter most.<\/p>

Even when there\u2019s nothing on the calendar, he finds ways to connect. On weekends, the 43-year-old and his son hit the gym together. \u201cWe spot each other during workouts and chat about exercises and muscle groups,\u201d adds the certified personal trainer, who also helps his son refine his form.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Even with all his knowledge and experience, Khaidir admits that he\u2019s still learning a lot about his children \u2014 and sometimes, from them. \u201cI get to see the empathetic side of my kids during these activities,\u201d shares the Rescue Unit Commander of SCDF\u2019s 3rd Division, 31 Rescue Unit. \u201cMy boy learned to ski faster than my girl and encouraged her not to give up. In another instance, she climbed faster and kept cheering him on when he slipped.\u201d<\/p>

Moments like these go far beyond fun, becoming quiet lessons in resilience, empathy and encouragement \u2014 like the time his children introduced him to trampolining. \u201cI wasn\u2019t too keen at first,\u201d he says. \u201cBut seeing how much fun they were having, I gave in and joined them.\u201d<\/p>

They cheered him on as he bounced beside them, a simple gesture that stuck. \u201cI was shocked at how tired I was after just 10 minutes,\u201d he laughs. \u201cIt\u2019s actually a fantastic cardio workout.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

More than just a game, bowling days like these offer lighthearted fun and unexpected opportunities for reflection.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

These shared activities have also deepened the way they connect and communicate. \u201cWe often talk about what happened after each experience, it helps them reflect and process what they went through,\u201d explains Khaidir. \u201cLike during bowling, when most of their throws went into the drain and they felt frustrated, it was a chance to talk about how, in life, things won\u2019t always go your way. But you just pick up the ball and try again, improving your throw the next time \u2014 the same way we approach setbacks in life.\u201d<\/p>

Of course, not every activity goes to plan \u2014 and that\u2019s half the fun. \u201cWe always have a good laugh when things go sideways, like catching zero prawns or missing every shuttlecock during badminton,\u201d Khaidir shares with a chuckle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the few times they didn\u2019t leave empty-handed \u2014 proof that persistence pays off during their regular prawning sessions, often squeezed in while mum goes shopping.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But for him, the missteps are just as meaningful, building memories and bringing the family closer. These days, regular treks and gym sessions are part of the routine, with a trek up Mount Kinabalu as their next big goal.<\/p>

His advice to fellow parents? Start introducing kids to new experiences as early as possible \u2014 and while you still have the energy to join in. \u201cJust try anything. Kids grow up fast, and us parents are getting older too,\u201d he reflects. \u201cWork will always be there. But we have to make an effort to spend meaningful time with our kids. These are the moments they\u2019ll carry with them for life.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
