School-based Curriculum Development –“Promoting Positive Education, Towards Whole Person Development” project

Teacher’s thoughts:

The entire project is beneficial and essential for our teachers and children, because it allows them to learn and grow in the process. For children, their curiosity was aroused and they enjoy learning in various activities. Most importantly, they can learn to care and love everything around them. Meanwhile, teachers can transform traditional teaching approaches into new and diversified teaching methods, so that teachers have a thorough understanding of the well-designed activities to match the abilities and interests of each child, which is undoubtedly a wonderful experience for both teachers and children.

By participating in the "Promoting Positive Education, Towards Whole Person Development" project, the school's working atmosphere, teachers' professional development and children's learning have been greatly improved. This project enriched my knowledge in planning and designing courses. In addition, when all teachers shared their personal goals, they revealed their talents and interests, which has definitely helped them to build a sense of satisfaction and lead a better life.
This project can help children establish a positive learning attitude and take the initiative to participate and enjoy school life. Children’s learning motivation has been greatly improved, and they look forward to learning new knowledge every day.

School-based curriculum development – LEGO course

Teacher’s thoughts

The FFL competition allows children to be more creative while building various things by building blocks. During the competition, the children suggested to build a harmonious park for all age groups and the disabled. They also encountered some problems they had never faced before. To solve those problems, they discussed and challenged themselves to achieve their goals. In the end, they were satisfied with the creation of their ideal LEGO park.

These simple Lego bricks are fun and can provide our children with high-level STEM skills. In the Lego classroom, children used Lego gears and other accessories to learn scientific theories; “When I turn one of the gears, why are both gears moving?” During the entire game, the children observed the “gear” and explored how it moved. Literally, they found the answer-“The gear shafts are connected to each other in parallel.” Then the teachers further explained to the children to help them better understand and facilitate them to learn from playing.

To love children, first to love themselves,3 moves to teach you to maintain the best mental state

June 2020

Written by :Family Dynamics Child Play Therapist
                   Marriage and Family Therapist, Ms. Lee Wai Zi

In today’s society, it is indeed not easy for parents to maintain a good state of mind and body. I have met with many parents and found that the difficulty most parents face is not that they do not understand their children’s feelings and needs, or that they do not know how their behavior affects their children, but that it is difficult to maintain a trusting and optimistic attitude towards their children when they are in a situation. Often, parents become increasingly anxious as they worry that their child’s problems will continue and worsen, and repeat ineffective ways of dealing with their child’s problems.

So, how can parents maintain the best mental state to face the stress and challenges of disciplining their children? Here are some tips for parents to consider:

1. Be more sensitive to your own stress levels
Parents are human beings, so there will be times when they are depressed or physically and emotionally exhausted. The purpose of parents being sensitive to their own mental state is to remind themselves that they need to take care of their own needs first. It is difficult for parents to be sensitive and responsive to the needs of their children when they are in a highly stressed state. Conversely, inappropriate responses may harm the child and damage the parent-child relationship.

2. Use resources effectively to relieve stress
When parents feel stressed, they should try to explore and make good use of their own internal and external resources to regulate their negative emotions. For example, find family members or friends to talk to, do things that can relax you, and find positive thoughts and beliefs to encourage you. The purpose is to give yourself a proper rest and temporary relief from stress.

3. Turn your mind around and reflect
If a parent’s stress continues and increases, professional help is needed. Sometimes, these pressures come from more than just external influences. Parents’ self-worth, worldview, and perceptions of things can affect how we parent. For example, some parents worry that they are not doing enough to fulfill their parental responsibilities and end up pushing their children to study or participate in activities, or even that they are not flexible enough to respond to their children’s needs when they are stressed and negative. If

parents are aware of and take care of their own feelings and needs, they can prevent their negative emotions from affecting the next generation.

Therefore, parents who love their children must first love themselves. Only when parents are healthy and happy can their children grow up healthy and happy.
