The Commission on Children (CoC), the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) and the Social Welfare Department jointly held the "Let’s T.A.L.K. and Walk with Kids" stakeholder engagement event under the theme of "positive parenting and family bonding" on 14 September 2024. Through a variety of parent-child interactive games and adventure experiences, stress relief activities and sharing sessions, the event aimed at promoting positive parenting, enhancing family bonding and celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Secretary for Labour and Welfare and Vice-chairperson of the CoC, Mr Chris Sun; together with the ex-officio members of the CoC, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Siu Chak-yee; and the Director of Social Welfare, Miss Charmaine Lee, joined the event to cheer on the parents and children.
As part of "Walk with Kids" thematic campaign of CoC, the stakeholder engagement event was conducted in the format of a day camp at the Junior Police Call Permanent Activity Centre and Integrated Youth Training Camp at Pat Heung. Over 80 participants from around 30 families with children participating in the Child Development Fund and their family members attended the event.
Non-official members of the CoC moderated the group sharing sessions, listening to parents sharing parenting experiences, and providing suggestions for practising positive parenting and enhancing family relationships. Under the guidance of the clinical psychologist from the HKPF, parents also learned and shared relaxation techniques with an aim to assist them in facing parenting challenges with a positive mindset amid their busy daily lives.
