Hello everyone, I am glad to have another opportunity to share with you. I am Bonnie, the President of this year’s Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).
This is my sixth year in the PTA family. When I think back to the first day I joined the PTA, I was still introducing myself and expressing my opinions with fear and trepidation. It is funny to think that I was afraid of being ugly, and I didn’t have the courage to show my “true nature” to the principals and teachers.
However, at the second meeting, with the love and encouragement from the old members and the school representatives, the new members, including me, quickly became friends, and we were brave enough to express our views and willing to show our strengths, such as paperwork, labor production, and dance performances. Under the leadership of the then President/Vice President, we brought one wonderful activity after another to YPi, and the feeling of success was beyond description. Another big thanksgiving is that I have gained valuable friendships with the members.
Day by day, thanks to the support and trust of the members and representatives of the school, I started to take up different positions such as Chairman/Vice-Chairman over the years. Throughout the process, we experienced different challenges, but we overcame every obstacle by organizing online meetings or video productions to keep in touch with you during the school closure period, as well as completing PTA trips and lectures under different constraints.
PTA members serve the school on a voluntary basis. From the moment we decided to nominate ourselves as members, we had the courage to write our own introductions to the parents, and from the moment we put pen to paper, we decided to serve the school and our children. What is it that drives committee members to spend their personal time on committee business? I can’t think of any other reason than “love”.
Because we love our children, we want to work together with the school to make progress and create a pleasant learning environment for our children.
Because the school loves our children, we would like to give back to the school by offering our time and expertise to make the activities more colorful.
Would you like to join us as a member of the PTA? We look forward to seeing you next school year.

Hello, I am Hebe, the parent of Lower 2 Liang Hao Zhen, and today I would like to recommend a good book to you, “No Nagging, No Blame, Teach Your Child to be Self-Motivated” by Yamazaki Yoichi.
“The real cause of the nagging disease. One of the reasons is that nagging is fueled by anger that has no outlet. The second reason is that you see your child as your own alter ego and as a punching bag for that anger.
The book, “No Nagging, No Blame, Teach Your Child to Be Self-Motivated,” by Yoichi Yamazaki, spends a great deal of time exploring the origins of nagging and trying to get mothers to let go of their nagging, and instead give their children gentle support, accept their shortcomings, and treat them as independent individuals. Mothers who make such changes usually make their children change as well, and in the book, Yamazaki gives many examples of moms’ talks to prove it.
During my intermittent reading, I was actually reflecting on whether I had a structural problem with nagging, and perhaps 80% of the answers were in the affirmative. However, after clearing my mind, I realized that the source of the nagging may not be anger, but it is most likely a backlash against the efficiency that parents respect in the crowded parenting time of modern two-income families.
Therefore, when I see my child’s indifference to the passage of time, I naturally feel like nagging him, hoping to use this (nagging) as a push to show the results of efficiency; therefore, “eat faster”, “get dressed faster”, “do something faster” can easily become a mantra, but often, the desire to be quicker is not enough to achieve, and it stirs up each other’s emotions, and even ignites the fuse.
When the book “Don’t Nag, Don’t Blame, Teach Your Child to be Self-Motivated” reads, “Lack of peace of mind can make you feel uneasy, as if you’re being rushed at all times, as if you’re being left behind, as if you’re being scolded, as if you’re on the verge of being scolded, as if you’re on the edge of your seat, as if you’re forgetting something important”, I do feel that when my children are faced with a lack of peace of mind, they can feel that their emotions have changed, and that it’s not enough to be in a hurry.
I do feel the pressure of the nagging children. How would you react if you were in such a situation? How would you react if you were in this situation? I think you would feel nothing but anxiety! Therefore, I think trying to kick the nagging habit is the first step to change, and maybe it is also a new opportunity to create a brand new parent-child relationship!

Hello, I am Toni Hu, the parent of Upper Secondary 4B, and I am so happy to share with you a great book called “Yidanism”. The book is called “Yidanism”. “Yidan” usually gives people a negative feeling, but if you can use “Yidan” techniques in a timely manner, it can not only make your parents feel better, but also enhance the parent-child relationship!
This book was written by a psychiatrist, Dr. Ronald Hui, and “Yidanism” is mainly taken from the third generation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), so “Yidanism” is not written by “Yidan”.
There are too many “unsolvable problems” in our lives. Our own problems are fine, but as parents, we can’t tell you how we feel when we see our children’s problems. Therefore, “Yidanism” provides us with one of the ways out. “Yedanism” is not ‘lying down’, and ‘Yedanism’ does not hinder our pursuit of ideal things. Instead, it teaches us that we should ‘personalize’ our own definition of success, and learn to accept things as they are. In the book (p. 157), it is said, “Set your own goals…work hard, and then achieve a goal that only you know and that is to your liking, and then you are successful. The most important thing is not to be led by others.”
There are three core elements in “Danism”: acceptance, letting go and living in the moment. Let’s take an example. There is a child who was born in December and is a “small child”. Because of the limitations of the small hand muscles, the child’s handwriting in kindergarten is not as good as it should be. If we see this as a problem, we can certainly improve the child by practicing, but at the same time, what price do we have to pay in exchange for neat handwriting? If we realize that this problem cannot be solved overnight, can we change the definition of “success”, for example, if we get the strokes right, then we are successful? Do we have the courage to “accept” the situation and “let go” of the problem for a while, and then return the focus of our lives to the precious time we have with our children here and now?
We only have a limited amount of time each day, especially with our children. If we can focus more on the joyful moments we have with them, rather than the problems that bother us, then the meaning of our lives will be more abundant!

Goodreads Pick: Mom, Will You Love Me Forever?
Author: Kathleen B. LeBlanc Catherine LeBlanc
Little Bear accidentally broke his coat while playing. He knew his mom was very, very tired from a long day at work, and he was worried, “Oh no, mom will be very angry.” With trepidation, he walked over to his tired mother and apologized softly. Then he asked fearfully, “Mom, will you still love me if I torn my coat?
I remember when the new coronavirus was raging, I took care of a mother-in-law in the intensive care unit who was hospitalized for acute pneumonia. Because of the seriousness of the epidemic at that time, visiting services in public hospitals were suspended. A few days later, the grandmother’s clinical vital index was so unstable that she needed to have a tracheotracheal tube inserted and be put on a ventilator to help her breathe, and no one could accurately predict whether or not the grandmother’s condition would improve even after the insertion of the tube. Therefore, before she was given the anesthesia injection to prepare for the insertion of the tube, she gently asked for a phone call to call her son, who she hadn’t seen for a long time. When the phone was answered, the mother-in-law said to the phone in a breathless voice, “Do you remember? Mommy loves you very much. On the other end of the line was her son, who was already sobbing.
A few days later, my mother-in-law passed away.
I share this story because I want to tell you that while we can still express our love to our favorite person, while we still have the opportunity and time, we should buy the time to confess our love to our favorite person. Chinese people’s love for their children is very delicate and inward-looking. We seldom talk about love, and we tend to express it through our actions and daily care. However, for children, expressing love and affection is direct and real. They will hug, kiss or use simple and direct words to express their love.
As we grow up, we often lose the courage to express love as directly and simply as we did when we were children.
Therefore, I recommend this book to everyone and their children for parent-child reading, and children together into the storyline of the bear and mom, and take this opportunity to make a simple and direct confession to their children.
When Mama Bear knew that Bear had torn his coat, she didn’t get angry, she just hugged him and said, “Even if you have torn your coat; even if you haven’t done your homework and your grades may not be good; even if you have been naughty; even if you have become big and ugly; even if you don’t love your mommy any more; even if you will have your own family; even if mommy won’t be there…”.
“Son, mommy will always love you.”

Goodreads Share: The Twins of East East Village
Author: Zhang Pengjie
Publisher: Wenlin Publishing Co.
Hello, I am Ruby, the parent of Su Muyin from Lower Kindergarten 1. This morning, I was organizing my daughter Mimi’s bookcase, and she caught a glimpse of the cover, and she exclaimed, “I want that book about the twins, I’ve been looking for it for a long time. I’ve been looking for it for a long time. Which one is it? Why are you so excited? It turned out to be the picture book “The Twins of Dong Dong Village”.
When I read it again, I really thought it was a great book. The author, Zhang Pengjie, whom I knew from my college fellowship, is a very good singer and songwriter, and it turns out that she also creates picture books, so when I joined the Qingpi Reading Program and saw that there was more than one book with this author’s works, I felt very close to her and looked forward to it. Just like the author’s impression and lovely painting style, each of her picture books is bold and colorful, with some biblical concepts in them, but without any sense of preaching.
Let’s have an intimate parent-child reading with Mimi and me! In the picture book, there are twin brothers, one is happy and the other is sad. The book is written in a contrasting way, so you can see the differences between them as soon as you open the book. When faced with an event, the two people respond very differently, the positive is always positive, the negative is always the same, for example, when there is a blackout, when the juice is poured, when they encounter mosquitoes when they go out for a picnic, or when they fall ill, you can see the different responses of the two people who are similar in looks. I was most impressed by the two pages on colds and illnesses, which clearly reflected the saying “a joyful heart is a good medicine”. Perhaps I have been feeling the effects of emotions on the body very deeply recently, so I read them with even more feeling.
As I guided Mimi through the reading process, I finally took her back to the beginning and asked her to choose again and again whether she wanted to be the optimistic brother or the pessimistic brother in this situation. Sometimes she chooses her brother, sometimes she chooses her brother, a very real choice of her situation. I also brought in the idea that sometimes I would be like my brother, sometimes I wish I was like my brother, and finally I brought out the hope that our home could be a home like my brother’s, optimistic and open-minded, and that people would want to come into our home.
May you share this lovely and reflective picture book, and may your home be filled with joy.

A Nurse Mom’s Life Balance: The Perfect Combination of Work and Parenting
As a nurse mom of two young children, every day revolves around saving lives and raising little ones. Today, I’d like to share with you how I find a great balance between these two roles and share my experience with you.
First of all, time management is the key to successfully combining work and parenting. As nurses, we are often faced with hectic days and nights, but at the same time, we need to ensure that we have enough time to spend with our children and participate in school activities. It is important to have a reasonable plan and schedule to balance work and family life. Reasonable scheduling of work time, parent-child interaction time and school activities can effectively meet the needs of all parties.
Secondly, the support of colleagues and family members is invaluable. As a nurse, I am well aware of the challenges and pressures of the workplace. Likewise, parenting has its own difficulties and challenges. I remember when I was studying for my Master’s degree in Nursing, I found out that I was pregnant with Hannah. During that period of time, I was pregnant, and I was constantly shuttling between the university, the hospital where I was working, the maternity clinic, and my family. Even after Hannah was born, I had to go back to the university and give a speech while I was sitting on the floor with my homework ready so as to avoid jeopardizing my master’s thesis, but I am very grateful to my colleagues and family members who have been very supportive and understanding. I am grateful to my coworkers and family for their support and understanding, which has allowed me to better balance my studies, work, and parenting. And whether you’re working or parenting, remember that your partner is your most important support. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when things get tough. It’s important to have a good support system and learn to accept help.
Finding a balance between career and family is also key. As nurses, we are constantly under pressure and workload. However, as a mom, we also need to provide our children with adequate care and companionship. There are many ways to find a balance, such as distributing work and household chores wisely, arranging leisure activities, family gatherings or hobbies with children, and learning to relax and take care of your physical and mental health. Only when you are happy and in good shape can you take better care of your children and work.
Finally, I would like to emphasize the importance of building a good relationship with the school. Tsing Pei is a big, loving family that provides support in various aspects of parenting, and the PTA has been working closely with the school to provide an excellent communication bridge for home-school cooperation. Therefore, we can actively participate in school activities and parent-child activities, and establish a close working relationship and communication with teachers and the school team. This not only allows us to better understand our children’s learning situation, but also provide support and assistance to facilitate their growth and development at school.
These are some of the valuable lessons I have learned in my roles as a working nurse and a mom. Combining these two roles can be challenging, but at the same time it brings a great deal of joy and fulfillment. Together, we can be strong and loving moms who shine in our work and parenting! I wish you all much happiness!

Learning to be a good father
Hello, I am Jerry, the parent of N1A class Zhiyue Zheng. The time since I became a parent has gone by very fast. When I married my wife, I had already imagined that we would have a little baby at home, and now Zhiyue is already 3 years old. I think I have learned more in these 3 years than I have in books, because what I have learned is how to brighten up the life of a little child.
“Dad only cares about work!” In fact, I am most afraid that this is the only image that children have in their minds. Many parents have shared that if their children do not have a good companion from infancy to elementary school, the distance between them will become farther and farther. I believe in this point of view, so I emphasize on the following points to get along with my children:
I talk to my daughter every morning before I go to work. Ask her if she saw her mom and dad in her dream, maybe she will share something amazing. Ask her what she saw at school today and maybe she will share her expectations. Ask her what she wants to do after school. If she says she wants to see her dad, I will finish my work and go home as soon as possible that day! -The point is that I value her answers. Avoid asking a question and answering a question, it’s just a ritual, but I don’t take it to heart.
It is not easy to be a parent, and it takes quality to accompany children. What is quality? It is whether or not you are committed to the world of children. We adults have been children before. We have longed for adults to play with us and listen to our feelings, and sometimes we just cuddle and sleep together, and their “soul mates” are their parents. So when I am with my daughter, I become a child and enter her world. We even have our own “Bi-Li-Ba-La” language!
C) Record the time we spend together as a family. Nowadays, we are in the digital age, we can take unlimited photos and videos with just a mobile phone. For me, these easy-to-take photos are precious memories of my children, my wife and me. It is also easy to know what my daughter likes by looking at old photos and videos with her from time to time. Sometimes, when I don’t have any photos of my family for a period of time, I will review whether we have spent less time together. These photos also remind me of how hard I work for our family!
Being a parent makes me realize how great my parents are. Even though being a mom or dad is hard work, the hard work is also a sweet memory, and children are the best gift a parent can give.

Hello, I am Toni Hu, the parent of Upper Secondary 4B, and I am very happy to see you all again, I wonder what you think of the book “Yidanism” that I introduced last time. I think “acceptance”, which is often mentioned in the book, is the most important attitude in parenting.
Psychosocial development theory, also known as the “Eight Stages of Life”, states that a person’s life is divided into eight stages according to age, and each stage has a “major task” that needs to be accomplished, and if one succeeds in this task, one will be able to grow and develop. Stage 2 – Early Childhood (2-3 years old) and Stage 3 – Preschool (4-6 years old) are the ages of our children. The theme of early childhood is autonomy vs. shame and doubt. With parental acceptance, children can enhance their autonomy and begin to explore the outside world, learning to become independent from parental decisions, and adapting their behavior to the order and norms of society. On the other hand, if parents respond negatively, such as discouragement or even ridicule, the child will develop a sense of shame and doubt in himself/herself, and his/her willpower will be reduced.
In preschool, the theme is “initiative vs. guilt”. Parental acceptance can help children develop a sense of self-responsibility and the courage to try and understand the importance of achieving their goals. On the other hand, a negative response from parents, such as scolding or too many restrictions, can lead to feelings of guilt and even worthlessness.
How can we accept this? Parents can be more understanding of what their children think and need, rather than using adult standards, perspectives or abilities. Allow children to accomplish their own things in their own way. Don’t be impatient or over-protective in helping children accomplish what they were meant to accomplish, and give them plenty of freedom while meeting basic safety requirements. Everyone has his or her own path to follow and his or her own responsibilities, even children. By accepting that your child is different from you, the path of “walking with your child” will be clearer in the future.

Hello, I am Esther, the parent of Leung Cheuk Yiu in Lower 2B, and I would like to share my parenting experience with you today. As a parent of two children, the age difference between my children is about 2 years. Since both of them are girls, they like similar things, so there are always times when they love each other and times when they hate each other. Therefore, I try to learn from my parents and friends, and also from books!
1. Don’t compare
When relatives and friends see two children, they will inevitably compare them: comparing their grades, height, appearance, etc. This may be unintentional, but the children will inevitably be unhappy. Therefore, I think it is most important to teach children to appreciate their own strengths, so that they can realize that everyone’s pace is different, and that they may learn at different speeds, so it is enough to compare their own progress!
2. Avoid being biased
The two daughters are always in a situation where one minute they are sugar-coated peas, and the next minute they are in a situation where they have no choice but to give in to each other. They don’t give in to each other, and then they complain to me. This is a big headache for a mom. According to Wang Yizhong, a clinical psychologist, fighting between siblings is not a bad thing. It should be seen as a natural part of growing up, and a chance for children to resolve their disputes by first observing what is going on between them and how they are resolving it. If after a period of time it is still unresolved or not handled correctly, it is advisable to separate the two and guide the child to find a suitable solution, but do not force the older child to compromise with the younger one, as this will cause her to have negative emotions and be jealous. 3.
3. Seek equality, not fairness
As a parent, you may be asked from time to time, “Why is it okay for my sister? “Or sometimes, in a reversal of the question, the older sibling will ask the same question. Experts point out that the reason children ask “why? Experts say that the reason children ask “Why?” is not necessarily because they want an answer, but because they want to gain some kind of advantage and complain. It is important to teach children to express their real needs and to explain to them that if they can achieve a certain ability first, then they will be able to do that thing. According to Wong Pak Ka’s article in
＜＜To a mom who’s been driven crazy by her two babies, “Fairness is treating children the same regardless of their age. Equality is to take into account the differences of the children and provide different kinds of assistance according to the different needs of each child”.
Lastly, I think parents should try their best to get time alone with their children, so that they can have time to talk to their parents and deepen their understanding and care for each other.

Hello, I am Esther, the parent of Leung Siu Siu Yiu in Upper Lower 2B, and I am very happy that I can continue to participate in the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) this year. Today, I would like to share with you some parent-child activities. Like most of the parents, I usually take my children to different places to relax during vacation, such as making snacks, cycling, picking strawberries and feeding animals at a distant farm, or going to the Space Museum, etc. …… In addition to the above mentioned activities, I would like to introduce one more parent-child activity to you – Watching the soccer game!
My dad is a soccer fanatic and loves to watch soccer games, and has a favorite team. So when the children see their dad watching a soccer game on Saturdays and Sundays, they will initially be curious and ask their dad what he is watching, and then they will ask a lot of questions, such as the rules of the game, the name of the team, etc. …… Slowly, the children will sit down and watch the game together. Later, they will discuss together, such as what is a corner kick, what is offside, and they will also try hard to cheer for their dad’s favorite team!
Why do I want to introduce this parent-child activity to you? In fact, before I introduced it, I had thought that this activity is not that special, and I wondered if the children have learned anything. On a deeper level, in parent-child activities, parents would first consider whether the activity is suitable for the children or whether they like it or not. In fact, I personally think the most important thing about parent-child activities is that parents and children can participate together and keep each other company, and sometimes the children can also feel their parents’ preferences and interests. Through interaction, they can enhance their relationship and enjoy the joy of family life, which is perhaps the greatest reward!

Hello, I am Hebe Choi, the parent of Lower Upper Class 2 Leung Ho Ching, and I am so happy to share with you the parent-child activity: visiting Mei Ho House of Livelihood in Sham Shui Po.
Mei Ho House of Livelihood is the first public housing museum established and managed by the Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association.
Mei Ho House of Livelihood was born out of a fire that broke out in Shek Kip Mei on the night of December 25, 1953 (later known as the “Shek Kip Mei Fire”). The fire broke out in the hillside squatter area of Shek Kip Mei and nearly 58,000 people lost their homes.
The first eight six-storey resettlement blocks, including Mei Ho House, were built to provide long-term housing for the victims. Completed in 1954, Mei Ho House marked the beginning of Hong Kong’s public housing policy, and the establishment of a living museum on the site to showcase the history of the community, the environment of the public housing estates and the changes in the living habits of the people is of great significance.
After revitalization, Mei Ho House has been transformed into a modern hostel. The ground floor and the Mei Ho House of Livelihood on the first floor are open to the public free of charge. Inside the museum, there are replica scenes of bathrooms, toilets, grocery stores and living quarters, as well as more than 1,200 artifacts and more than 40 oral histories, allowing you to learn about the lives of residents in Hong Kong’s public housing estates from the 1950s to the 1970s. You can also have a drink in the old Hong Kong-style Ice House or stay in one of the converted flats with double, family and multi-person rooms.
Address: Block 41, Shek Kip Mei Estate, 70 Barwick Street, Shamshuipo, Kowloon.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday: 9:30am to 5:00pm
Mondays, Sundays and Public Holidays: Closed
Public Guided Tours (Cantonese): Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3:15pm – 4:00pm (Advance registration required)

Hello, I am Bonnie, the parent of Mr. Lau Pak Lung of Upper Secondary 4A, and I would like to share with you my experience of “Parent-Child Activities”.
As a pair of working parents, our parent-child time is very precious. “We may not be able to do the best in terms of quantity, but we still want to maintain the quality.
We always respect our children’s choices and will always go with them when they tell us where they want to go or what they want to do. For example, there was a TV news report about a large-scale supermarket in China, and the two brothers were curious about the fact that it was a bit different from the supermarkets that they shopped in everyday. Of course, we adults have been to this supermarket before, but I never imagined that they would be interested in it as well.
They even checked out the KOL videos on the internet and told me what their classmates told them about what they can buy in this supermarket. Finally, they arranged a trip to the supermarket with their brothers during Easter vacation. Before that, they did a little bit of data collection, checking out which transportation route is the fastest, tips on how to go to the supermarket, must-buy products, etc. For us, no matter what we do, it’s always a good idea to do it.
For us, no matter what we do or where we go, it’s a parent-child activity. Our family has benefited from the fact that they are more aware of the current affairs, and the two brothers have a way of negotiating not to buy too much to avoid wastage, etc. We are all aware of this in our daily life. In our daily life, we are doing quality parent-child activities.
Let’s think about it, our parents work hard to make a living and spend less time with us, but don’t we love our parents? I am still remembering the time when my two brothers said, “I found it,” in the supermarket! Mom’s favorite juice is really there!” My heart melted when I realized that they did the data collection for me.
