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.

覺醒父母是一個比較新的養兒觀念。它不同於傳統教養方法，父母會控制子女，子女一定要聽父母的話。有些父母可能會跟隨上一代的教養方式，甚至不經不覺把自己兒時的負面情緒和心靈痛楚加諸子女身上。
一個覺醒的父母會注重與子女建立親子關係，以及會注意自己的一言一行是否在幫助建立子女的自我形象，容許子女探索世界，走適合自己的路，而不是跟隨父母的意願去走人生的路。

However, this dependence comes at a great cost not just to our environment but also to our child’s health.
