A second chance at parenting

****************************

     They say you are never too old to learn something new, therefore many grandparents have started training to become parents.

     The Pilot Project on Child Care Training for Grandparents was announced in Financial Secretary John Tsang's 2016-17 Budget.

     The Social Welfare Department launched the two-year programme in March. The training courses include contemporary knowledge and skills in childcare and strengthening intergenerational support and integration.

     One family benefiting from the scheme recently spoke with news.gov.hk. The story appears on news.gov.hk today (September 18) in text and video format.
