***************************************************************************
The Family Council, the Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) jointly held the "Caring for our Kids" launching ceremony this afternoon (May 13), with an aim of promoting family core values to Hong Kong parents and publicising the culture of loving families.
Member of the Sub-committee on the Promotion of Family Core Values and Family Education of the Family Council Ms Emily Yip and other guests shared tips for parent-child relationships with families participating in the event. Ms Yip encouraged parents to care for their children more, understand their thoughts and walk on the same path with them, so that children can grow up healthily and happily.
To further promote the culture of loving families in the community, the Family Council, the HAB and RTHK will launch a series of activities to be held from May this year, including the radio segments "Sunday Playground - Happy Kids, Happy Sharing" and "Morning Suite - 100% Parenting", and a radio drama for children entitled "The But's Family". Primary school students and junior secondary school students will also be recruited to join workshops on vocal techniques for radio drama to be held during the coming summer holiday. Participants with outstanding performance in the workshops will have the opportunity to take part in recording production for the radio drama "The But's Family". Through the everyday life stories of "The But's Family", the Family Council hopes to bring out a message on the importance of communication and care between family members and enhancing family members' abilities in handling emotions and overcoming difficulties.
In addition, the Family Council will host The But's Family Inter-school Colouring Competition for Kindergarten Students and Picture Composition for Primary School Students for the first time this year to promote the family core value of "love and care" to kindergarten and primary school students and their parents. Submission of entries for the competitions will run from May 15 to July 14 this year. The competitions will have a range of awards and the top three winning entries of each competition will be published in the storybook of "The But's Family". Details of the competitions are now available on the Council's Happy Family Info Hub.
Members of the public are welcome to visit the Council's Facebook page for details of the publicity event and other upcoming family programmes as well as family-related information.
