李錦記家族基金致力促進健康和諧的家庭及社會關係，為推動「讚美由家開始」的文化，鼓勵祖孫及家庭成員之間以五種愛的語言加強溝通，特別邀請著名演員余香凝和岑珈其分別分享家中三代之間的溫馨互動及跨代教養秘笈，並支持推動每年十月第二個星期日為「祖父母感謝節」，與及本年 10 月 12 日舉行的「祖父母感謝節」同樂日。

余香凝——以身作則傳達愛

榮獲第 42 屆香港電影金像獎最佳女主角的余香凝事業如日方中，同時是重視家庭及教育的兩孩之母。余香凝透過短片，感謝母親在她的育兒路上擔當最強後盾，除了在她住院生產幼子時在家中幫忙照顧長女之外，更特別修讀陪月課程，在產後親自擔當陪月，讓她能夠安心休養。她同時提到和媽媽在管教孩子方面出現分歧時會坦誠溝通，並分享如何教導孩子向婆婆表達關心，例如鼓勵孩子跟婆婆共度沒有旁騖的優質相處時光，以及通過為婆婆夾餸菜等小服務，向婆婆表達愛。

除了短片中的分享，余香凝更補充：

問：請分享一個你最難忘的「婆孫互動」小故事。
余香凝：我的女兒十分喜歡躺在沙發上，然後請求婆婆替她按摩，而婆婆亦很樂意這樣做。如果婆婆不在家中，甚至會請求我替她按摩呢！這個有趣的「婆孫互動」，亦讓我回憶起自己小時候替我的婆婆按摩的美好時光。

問：作為母親，在教育和照顧孩子上，有甚麼是受到媽媽影響而代代相傳的？
余香凝：從小到大，我跟媽媽的關係都像是朋友一樣，無論是好事或壞事，她都願意細心聆聽，讓我放心與她分享。她亦十分願意走進我的世界，會欣賞我喜歡的歌曲和電影。我希望這種如同朋友的親子關係能夠傳承下去給我和子女。另一方面，在我年幼時，媽媽會吩咐我每天打電話問候婆婆。到了現在，我亦會叫女兒打電話或與婆婆視像通話，我希望這個關心祖輩的習慣能夠代代相傳下去。

問：你會如何鼓勵年輕一代與祖輩建立更緊密關係和表達愛？
余香凝：我認為最重要的是主動行出第一步，不要空想而欠缺行動。祖父母其實很期待孫子女的一通電話和探望，但年輕一代往往因工作或學業繁忙而未有抽空和他們相處。一定要及時去表達愛和關心，不要等到沒有機會才後悔！此外，亞洲人往往比較害羞，不擅長以言語或擁抱來表達愛。我希望從我開始作出改變，教導下一代大膽地向祖父母說「我愛你」或「掛念你」，或是向他們送上禮物和心意卡等。我亦會以身作則，在孩子面前跟媽媽親吻或擁抱，讓他們知道如何以行動表達愛。

岑珈其——互相欣賞溝通

岑珈其是著名愛家的好爸爸、好丈夫、好兒子，最近太太誕下幼子，為家更添喜氣。岑珈其的母親自長孫出生開始已從旁協助照料，傳授育兒心得，為新手父母分憂，隨後又在媳婦懷有第二胎時幫忙照顧長子，讓岑珈其能夠抽空陪同太太外出產檢。岑珈其形容母親給予孩子大愛及無比耐性，能夠全神貫注地和孫兒玩耍和聊天數小時，並花心思和孫兒自製只屬於他倆的專屬回憶。岑珈其十分鼓勵孩子勇敢地以言語或行動向嫲嫲表達愛意，並會以身作則孝順及尊敬祖輩。

除了短片中的分享，岑珈其在幕後亦補充：

問：請分享一個你最難忘的「嫲孫互動」小故事。
岑珈其：我的爸爸很早離世，但媽媽會透過展示相片及分享往事，讓我的兒子有機會認識爺爺，建構十分奇妙的感情連繫。

問：「隔代教養」有甚麼需要注意？
岑珈其：我們管教下一代的方式十分取決於原生家庭的成長經歷，由於父母雙方的成長背景不同，可能會對祖父母照顧孩子的方式抱持不同看法。不過這亦提供了契機，鼓勵家庭成員之間增進交流及加深認識，有助鞏固家庭感情，並可將優良的育兒方式傳承下去，不合時宜的亦可得以改進。

問：作為「中間的一代」，你如何維繫家庭和諧與溝通？
岑珈其：我認為最重要的是雙向溝通，以及學懂互相欣賞。從媽媽身上，我學懂耐心陪伴孩子的傳統教養方式，而我亦會示範新一代的方法，例如陪伴孩子一起觀看內容適合的 YouTube 影片來學習英語等實用知識。有時候，祖父母可能因為寵愛孫子女而過分保護，例如總是擔心他們着涼而要求他們多穿衣服等。作為中間一代，我們可以向祖輩反映自己的意見或提出其他建議，多作溝通。

Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation has been committed to building harmonious and healthy relationships in families and society. To manifest the motto of “Appreciation Starts at Home” and promote communication between grandparents and their family members through five love languages, Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation has invited renowned actress Jennifer Yu and renowned actor Kaki Sham to share about their experiences on heartfelt intergenerational interactions and offer insights on co-parenting, supporting the advocacy of marking the second Sunday of October every year as “Grandparents’ Day” and raising public awareness on Grandparents’ Day 2025 Funfair on 12 October.

Jennifer Yu: Lead by example in expressing love

Awarded the Best Actress at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, Jennifer Yu is a mother of two who is devoted to maintaining a balance between her career and family. In her video sharing, Jennifer describes her mother as her strongest support on her parenting journey. Apart from taking care of her elder daughter when she was preparing to deliver her younger son in the hospital, her mother also completed a postnatal care course and took on the role of a confinement nanny to take care of the newborn, allowing her to rest properly after giving birth. On top of sharing how she communicated with her mother to settle disagreements on teaching children, Jennifer also offers her tips on guiding her children to show care and love towards their grandmother, by enjoying quality time together, and expressing love through acts of service.

Apart from her sharing in the video, Jennifer also reveals more insights as below:

Question: Please tell us about a heartfelt moment between your mother and your daughter.
Jennifer: My daughter enjoys lying on the sofa while my mother happily giving her a massage. She would even ask me to give her a massage when grandmother is not around. These wonderful moments brought back treasured memories of my own childhood when I used to massage my grandmother.

Question: What parenting values or practices have you inherited from your mother?
Jennifer: When I grew up, my mother and I have established a very close bond – we are best friends. She would listen to everything I said – good or bad – and I felt safe sharing with her. She would enjoy the music and movies I like. I wish I could pass down this kind of open and friendly relationship to my children. When I was young, my mother would ask me to call my grandmother every day. Now it is my turn to ask my daughter to call or video chat with her grandmother too. I hope this practice of showing care to the grandparents will be inherited to our next generations.

Question: How would you encourage the younger generation to build closer relationships with their grandparents?
Jennifer: Act now! Seize the opportunity to take actions rather than just pondering. Grandparents eagerly await a phone call or visit from their grandchildren, yet the younger generation often finds themselves too busy with work or school to spend time with them. It is crucial to express love and care in a timely manner – don’t wait until it is too late to regret missed opportunities! Asians are often known to be more reserved and may struggle to express love through words or hugs. I want to change this by encouraging my children to boldly say “I love you” and “I miss you” to their grandparents directly, as well as to give gifts or handmade cards. I would also hug and kiss my mother in front of my children, demonstrating to them how love can be expressed through actions.

Kaki Sham: Communication and appreciation are crucial

Kaki Sham and his family recently welcomed their younger son. Having to juggle his roles as a loving father, husband, and son, Kaki Sham is grateful for having his mother along his parenting journey, offering assistance and guidance since the birth of his elder son. When they were expecting their second child, she also helped look after their elder son, allowing Kaki to accompany his wife to antenatal appointments. Kaki praises his mother for showering his son with unconditional love and exceptional patience. Grandmother and grandson would spend hours playing games, sharing secrets, and creating unique memories that are exclusive to the two of them. Kaki encourages his son to show grandmother how much he loves her through both words and actions, while himself would also serve as a role model.

Here are the additional insights provided by Kaki on top of his sharing in the video:

Question: Please tell us about a heartfelt moment between your mother and your son.
Kaki: My son never got the chance to meet his late grandfather. My mother would show him pictures and tell him things about his grandfather, hence building a special intergenerational connection between them.

Question: What are the key aspects to take note of in intergenerational parenting?
Kaki: Our parenting methods are heavily influenced by our childhood experiences. Coming from different parental backgrounds, the father and the mother often hold different perspectives on how grandparents should care for children. The disagreement is indeed an opportunity to encourage communications and deepen mutual understanding, ultimately fostering harmony within a family. Through communication, we can pass down good parenting methods and improve outdated ones.

Question: As the generation in between, how do you maintain a harmonious and connected relationship within the family?
Kaki: The key is definitely effective communication and appreciation for one another. From my mother, I learned about the traditional way of raising children with patience, while I would also share with her the modern methods of parenting, such as watching interesting and educational YouTube videos with our children together to learn English. Sometimes, grandparents may become overly protective out of deep affection, such as worrying if the grandchildren feel cold and insisting that they need to wear extra clothes. As the middle generation, we can respectfully share our perspectives or offer alternative suggestions.
