Together with Nan Fung Group and Vervain teammates, The D. H. Chen Foundation has completed the third stop of our co-developing and co-learning journey. The third sharing session of 「廷驊思語」系列 was held last week on the topic of「善待自己 善養孩子」, focusing on the importance of self-care and self-reflection in parenting and relationship building.

The parenting stories of the four mothers from our NGO partner EDiversity 教育大同, Cam, Alice, Phoebe and Tsz Yan, sharing the same belief of connecting ourselves through exploring the inner child in our grow-up journey, resonated with the participants who were mostly parents.

Following Cam’s sharing on her children’s home-schooling experience, the three mothers talked about their personal challenges and stresses of parenthood, as well as how they were inspired by ????????? ??? ? ???????? ????? (“PFPW”)”, a book written by the Australian psychologist Robin Grille on the influencing factors and impact of child-rearing customs. There were also genuine interaction and exchanges in the group discussion, in which both the participants and the EDiversity Team were very actively engaged and opened their hearts to share their experiences of building relationships.

Our partnership with EDiversity has actually started since 2018. A parent-initiated NGO striving to promote educational diversity and broaden parents’ views on child- rearing, EDiversity turned PFPW from a book into a community program focusing on the emotional and social wellbeing through building a more connected community.

We hope more change-makers will join us in creating a peaceful world through parenting and, self-reflection of ourselves at large.
