Little Monkey started out as Hong Kong’s first directory of child-friendly facilities but we want to give back more to parents. In addition to this main objective, we added three goals to Little Monkey’s vision – 1) foster happy childhood, 2) promote families to live an eco-conscious lifestyle, and 3) instill confidence in parents in believing in themselves again. Because let’s be honest here, happy parents mean a happy home and that translates to happier kids.

Being a parent anywhere in the world today is not an easy role. But what about being a parent in Hong Kong you may ask? How is that different than being a parent elsewhere? So we created the “Inspiring Parents of Hong Kong” project.

As part of our research, we explored some of the pros and cons of raising a child in the diverse melting pot of Hong Kong. After interviewing seven sets of unique parents, it seems that most parents face the same issues around the world no matter the family background. We found that all sorts of suggestions and wise words come the way of parents and will continue to be, but as long as parents are confident, stick to their guts and intuition in how they want to raise their little ones, it relieves a lot of the stress from parenting.

See for yourself and don’t just take our word for it. Join us in discovering the experiences and tips shared by these seven sets of parents living in Hong Kong and how they navigate through the noise surrounding them to help their little ones to achieve their hopes and dreams. We will release videos every Wednesday so be sure to catch them here on the blog and on our new Youtube channel!

成立初期，小猴子是香港首個以小孩友好設施為重點的網站，但現在我們希望把重心也放到家長身上。除了這個主要目的之外，我們為小猴子的願景添上三個新目標——1)培養快樂的童年；2)向每個家庭推廣環保的生活方式；3)增強家長的自信心。因為快樂的家長能建造一個快樂的家庭，自然也培養出快樂的小孩。

今時今日，即使在世界上任何地方，家長也不是一個容易擔當的角色。你可能會疑惑：香港的家長與其他地方有哪些差別呢？所以我們開展了「鼓舞人心的香港家長」這個計劃。

在搜集資料的過程當中，我們發掘了在文化交融的香港中養育小孩的一些利與弊。經過與七組獨特的家長的訪談後，我們發現無論來自甚麼家庭背景，世界上大部分父母也會面對同樣的問題。雖然一些老生常談的建議及智慧時至今日依然適用，但其實只要父母有信心，堅持自己養育孩子的信念，就可以減輕很多壓力。

不要盡信我們的話，不妨親自來看看吧。來一起探索及體驗這七組居於香港的家長所分享的小貼士及他們如何在各種輿論當中幫助自己的小孩去成就希望與夢想。我們每逢周三便會於網誌及Youtube頻道發放全新的訪談短片，萬勿錯過啊！
