To promote the Positive Parent Campaign, the Education Bureau (EDB) is holding the "Playtime with Children" Roving Exhibition at MOSTown in Ma On Shan today (June 18) and tomorrow (June 19). Parents and students are encouraged to actively take part in the event.

     A spokesman for the EDB said, "The 'Playtime with Children' Roving Exhibition is being held from this month to August with a view to enhancing parents' understanding on how to develop quality time with their children and create happy childhood memories through parent-child play, so as to help children grow happily and healthily."

     The spokesman said that the ambassadors for the Campaign, Mommy Light and Daddy Light, and their two family members, together forming the Light Family, will promote positive parent education at various exhibition venues. The exhibition panels have significant content, sharing information with parents on subjects such as "Why to Play" and "How to Play", as well as introducing various parent-child games. The Roving Exhibition also includes a video gallery and a Light Family photo booth corner. The "Playtime with Children" board game will also be distributed as a souvenir. All activities in the venues are free of charge and souvenirs will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

     The second large-scale exhibition will be held at the Westwood on June 25 and 26. Parents are encouraged to take their children to the event.

     The "Playtime with Children" exhibition panels will also be displayed in various public housing estates. For the latest information on the times and venues of the Roving Exhibition, please visit the activity's thematic webpage: www.parent.edu.hk/en/article/ORPA2022E.

     The EDB has also produced a parent education resource kit with significant content. Parents may view and download the contents at the EDB's Smart Parent Net website (www.parent.edu.hk/article/playtimekit-tc) (Chinese only).

     The EDB has been running the Positive Parent Campaign since June 2020 and has all along been promoting positive parent education through extensive and diversified channels to foster parents' positive thinking and the proper ways and attitudes of raising children. The objective is to foster a positive mindset among parents in nurturing their children, with a view to helping their children learn effectively and grow happily.
