Driving my kids to school and bonding on the road

SINGAPORE – As the new school year begins, I am back to my usual “Grabdad” routine of driving my children to school.

We are out of the house by 6am every school day. I have fewer passengers this year as my second daughter, 18, has just completed her International Baccalaureate and is applying for university admission. My youngest child, six, goes to a nearby primary school and he can wake up later to take the shuttle bus with my helper.
