Hong Kong has started its fifth wave more than a month ago and parents have been in survival mode all around. Home schooling is one issue but the biggest issue is kids being stuck at home. Playgrounds are closed and the government is urging parents to stay home with their kids. Some parents are signing up for zoom classes for their kids in hopes to occupy their time while the parents themselves are working from home.
We have been invited to do a Facebook Live session with HKMomtrepreneur on Friday March 4th at 10 PM HKT to talk about the challenges parents are facing and share some tips and tricks to help them during this time. Below are some concepts to guide parents and to make it even easier we have created a list of things for parent-child play or for the kids to play by themselves. It’s a no frill and by all means, not a complete list but we hope this is a good start to give parents some ideas.

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.

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。
侍產假是近年家庭友善政策的熱門話題，
究竟侍產假對家庭有甚麼好處呢？
