學童抑鬱、親子關係疏離及兩歲以下兒童受虐案件四年來激增125%等新聞讓家庭教養方法成為城中話題。為了讓更多人了解跟孩子作情緒連繫的重要性，由家長發起的非牟利機構教育大同，在核心夥伴及資助機構陳廷驊基金會的支持下，推出嶄新親職教養計劃——「善養小童成大同——共構．童行」，並於2019年1月6日舉行揭幕演講——「親職十道~影響一生的童年種子」。

計劃顧問何善韻博士表示：「『善養』要求父母有覺察力、思考力、隨機應變能力、彈性以及孜孜不倦地學習及練習的耐力，令每一個教育方向都做到深思熟慮。而『共構．童行』則指在親職旅途中，父母運用自己年代的童年經驗，透過與孩子互動時重覆及持續反思，將童年經驗轉化成此時此刻與孩子同步的成長親職教養方向。」 |
同場，何善韻博士更向參加者介紹計劃的手機應用程式，有興趣人士只需在手機搜尋「善養小童成大同」並下載應用程式，登記後即可定期接收教養資訊及叮嚀，更可儲分換領書籍或日後講座的門票等親職教育禮品。

| 超過200位家長、精神健康工作者、社工、教育工作者及關心兒童發展的人士參與2019年1月6日於基督教家庭服務中心禮堂舉行的啟動禮暨親職教養講座。 |
「善養」計劃始於澳洲心理學家顧樂本先生（Robin Grille）薈萃15年研究成果撰寫而成的教養書《善養小童成大同》（Parenting for a Peaceful World），希望透過家長教育、培訓活動及互動手機程式，拓闊香港父母在親職教養觀念上的視野，啟發他們在養育下一代的過程中不斷反思，繼而以不同角度了解「善養」的深層意義，並達致書中提出「改變童年就是改變世界」的理念。
何善韻博士提出「親職十道」闡述父母教養孩子與自身、孩子、伴侶、其他照顧者、家人、家族、鄰舍、社區、社會及世界十種連繫的重要性，又提出多條問題與觀眾互動，鼓勵他們反思。
「善養小童成大同——共構．童行」未來將會舉行一連串活動，包括2019年10月份澳洲心理學家、《善養小童成大同》作者顧樂本先生訪港及2019年起舉行的「善養小童成大同——共構．童行」計劃家長工作坊。歡迎各位家長、精神健康工作者、社工、教育工作者及關心兒童發展的人士踴躍參與。詳情請密切留意計劃官方網頁、Facebook專頁及應用程式。

With headlines like cases of children under the age of two abused soars for 125%, students suffer from depression, and parents and children fail to bond, parenting has become the talk of the city. To promote to the public the importance of parents’ emotional connection with their children, parents-initiated charity EDiversity, supported by Core Partner & Funder, The D. H. Chen Foundation, presents “Parenting for a Peaceful World – Together We Build a Connected Childhood” (PFPW) parenting programme with a kick-off talk-cum-ceremony on 6th January 2019 themed “Ten Connections in Parenting that Helps Build a Connected Childhood”.

(Right) Ms Michell Huang, Co-founder of EDiversity suggested that the whole society is responsible for fostering our children. Instead of bearing the responsibility all by themselves, parents should seek assistance timely if needed. |
|
|
Dr. Bianca Ho remarked, “To parent for a peaceful world, parents need to take into consideration the ‘when, where and who’. They have to be sensible, thoughtful, resourceful, resilient, and studious so they can make an informed decision in every connection. Parents will repeatedly and continuously reflect on their childhood experience while interacting with their child and thus transform their own childhood experience into the parenting direction that guides how they bring up their children.” |
In the event, Dr. Bianca Ho also showcased the programme’s recently developed parenting app to the audience. Interested parties can search with the keyword “Parenting for a Peaceful World” and download the app on their mobile phones. Registered users will receive regular information and reminders on parenting, they can also save points to redeem gifts including books and tickets for talks in the future.

| Over 200 parents, mental health practitioners, social workers, educators, and those who care about our children’s future participated in the opening ceremony cum parenting talk held on 6th January 2019 at the Auditorium of Christian Family Service Centre. |
“Parenting for a Peaceful World – Together We Build a Connected Childhood” (PFPW) is a parenting programme based on the parenting bestseller: Parenting for a Peaceful World by Australian psychologist Mr. Robin Grille, who persuasively demonstrated how “change childhood and we change the world” with 15 years of research and writing condensed into one single book. The programme promotes a collective shift in parenting culture. It sees parenting as a social responsibility to build a harmonious and sustainable society through nurturing the emotional health of children. The campaign targets to broaden the horizon of Hong Kong parents on parenting through various activities such as public talks, parenting workshops and an interactive app, which would inspire them to reflect on their parenting belief, and bring them closer to their children’s emotional needs.
In her talk, Ten Connections in Parenting that Helps Build a Connected Childhood, Dr. Bianca Ho developed on the Ten Connections – connecting with child, oneself, one’s partner, other caregivers, the family, the kin, the neighbourhood, the community, the society, and the world. She also raised a series of questions in the interactive session, encouraging the audience to reflect on their parenting belief.
A series of activities will be held in the future to further promote PFPW, including Australian psychologistand author of Parenting for a Peaceful World, Mr. Robin Grille’s visit to Hong Kong in October and parents workshop starting 2019. Parents, mental health practitioners, social workers, educators, and those who care about our children’s future are cordially invited to participate in the activities. For details, please stay tuned to the programme’s official website, Facebook page and official app.
About Parenting for a Peaceful World
The book explains the importance of children’s emotional health and the relationship between parenting and social maladies and major world events from psychological, anthropological, psychohistorical, neuroscience, and biochemistry perspectives. Aspired to make this parenting classic available to Chinese readers, EDiversity crowdfunded and spent two years translating it into Chinese. Local artist Carrie Chau kindly volunteered to paint for the book cover. The Chinese version was published in December 2017 in Hong Kong. Over 3,000 books have been sold to date.
