“I Have Arrived” Parent-child Film Appreciation and Sharing Sessions
“I Have Arrived” Parent-Child Film Appreciation and Sharing Sessions
To assist parents in acquiring the knowledge and skills of supporting children’s healthy growth and addressing their mental health, the Education Bureau (EDB) will organise, in collaboration with the Committee on Home-School Co-operation and Jockey Club “Peace and Awareness” Mindfulness Culture in Schools Initiative (funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust), “I Have Arrived” Parent-Child Film Appreciation and Sharing Sessions. Apart from film appreciation, EDB has invited educational psychologists to share with parents on the tips of enhancing the emotional well-being of families, as well as ways to listen to their children’s voices and promote parent-child relationship. In addition, an interactive session will be arranged during the sharing to guide parents to think about the ways of getting along with their children and assist them to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitude of positive parenting.
We cordially invite parents’ active participation to the event. Schools can refer to the hyperlink and QR code of the activity webpage for details. For enquiries, please contact the Home-School Co-operation and Parent Education Section of EDB at 3698 4376.
