雙職家庭的爸媽都要外出工作，
有些家庭會選擇聘用外傭或鐘點傭工做家務，
有些家庭則會選擇父母分工，
各自負擔某些家務。
假如能平均把家務分成兩份就最好了，
可是家務很難以數量計算的。
分工不均，
很容易令較重責任的一方感到難受，
久而久之，
可能會引起衝突，
甚至影響夫妻感情。
假如你和伴侶也面對相似情況，
有甚麼方法可以解決？
以下是一些建議，
希望能給大家一點啟示。
Our fifth episode of “Parenting Talk Series” is another interview that every parent of young children should watch, whether you’re in HK or anywhere else in the world. Our topic is about how music is the foundation of learning for children. As parents, we all know that music is important for children such as being told to listen to music when the baby is in the womb to using music to put them to sleep. However, a lot of parents do not really know the benefits of how music is the foundation of future learning for children. So, we brought in Crisel Consunji, trained early childhood educator and founder of Baumhaus, Hong Kong’s #1 Kindermusik program for many years running, to explain to us how children learn using music with specific examples and tips on what parents can do at home to create an enriching learning environment through music for their kids.

在職爸媽白天上班，下班後要陪伴孩子，好像做兩份正職似的，面對的壓力不少。有時孩子無故撒野，不願吃飯，不願做功課，不願睡覺，更會觸及爸媽的情緒底線。爸媽很需要適時減壓，因為照顧孩子是一條長遠的路呢！

踏入7月，小孩的暑假快到了。
小孩很期待暑假的來臨，
不用上學，多了玩樂時間。
但對父母來說，
尤其是雙職父母，
悠長的暑假簡直是一場惡夢。
孩子不用上學，那麼日間孩子百無聊賴在家做甚麼？
會不會整天在玩遊戲機？
整天躺在睡牀上？

傳統社會，不論是香港還是西方社會，
媽媽都是家中主要的照顧者，
懷孕的是媽媽，
生孩子的是媽媽，
餵哺母乳的是媽媽。
生理上爸爸做不到這些東西，
但爸爸可以參與其他育兒的工作，
例如替寶寶換尿片、洗澡、與寶寶玩等。
如果爸爸在寶寶出生後沒有任何假期，
未必有時間分擔照顧寶寶的工作，
自然會依賴另一半照顧孩子。
