BAMBI Magazine May 2025
Dear Members,
This month's magazine focuses on mental health and well-being for the entire family, addressing the challenges faced by parents and children alike. Over the past two years, the combination of parenthood and external events such as the pandemic and the recent earthquake in Bangkok has turned my journey as a parent into a wild and exhilarating roller coaster ride. It's fair to say that 2025 has already been filled with enough excitement, and it's only April! This underscores the importance of nurturing emotional resilience, managing stress, and promoting positive mental health habits.
Reflecting on my own experiences, navigating new motherhood in a foreign country during lockdown presented numerous challenges. Despite the difficulties, I found solace in familiar activities, such as practicing yoga with my baby, enjoying morning hot chocolate instead of coffee, and virtually exploring interesting locations. Connecting with other moms through BAMBI's playgroups was instrumental in finding support, and today, I'm proud to be a volunteer with the organization.
In this issue, you'll discover valuable insights on mindfulness, family communication strategies, and more to foster a nurturing environment for healthy minds. Wishing you all an engaging and mindful month ahead!
Warm regards,
Frances Billones
