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.

COVID-19疫症由2020年1月起，影響全球已超過一年半。香港兒童在這一年半期間，經歷了約一年停課。（不同年齡停課時間不同，平均約大半年至一年）
疫症期間不少公共設施曾暫停開放，包括兒童遊樂場、室內兒童遊戲室、圖書館等。家長亦因為擔心孩子受感染，而減少帶孩子外出，少了跟親戚朋友聚會。
這些種種因疫情關係的轉變，對兒童社會情感學習（Social Emotional Learning）有甚麼影響？

Cloth diapering was how our ancestors diaper their babies but with the invention of disposable diapers, we became dependent on disposable diapers. However, this dependence comes at a great cost not just to our environment but also to our child’s health. With many new cloth diapering systems available in the market today, adopting cloth diapers is easier than ever.
We have invited a cloth diaper expert, Victoria Chuard (Founder of Just Peachy), to show us all there is to know about cloth diapering. From how they work to selecting the right one for you and your family, plus tips and tricks to make the two-year journey of diapering simple and easy.

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？
