Harmonious Ambassadors
parenting project |
The Family Life Education unit is organizing this project (家庭和諧大使網絡計劃) in Tsuen Wan & Kwai Tsing Districts with support from the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund. Parents have many problems dealing with adolescent children and the kids themselves get frustrated and rebellious. They argue over neglected homework, love affairs and staying out late, obsessions with the internet and computer games and lack of discipline in the home. The aim of this programme is to help improve communications and encourage use of HKFYG parent-child mediation services when things go wrong.
Date April 2008-April 2011
