YK Pao School’s Character Education Committee recently announced a new series of workshops called Together We Grow (TWG).
Made possible through the generous support of the annual fund, these evening workshops will be open to all Pao School parents at least twice a semester and will include topics related to parenting, including communication, discipline, child psychology and developing character. Each session will be led by a professional psychologist, counsellor or teacher. The first workshop was held on March 9 at Pao School’s Primary Division auditorium. Presenter Julia Huang, M.S.MFT from Care Corner Counseling Center Shanghai, spoke on the origins of emotions and how they work (functional and dysfunctional).
She discussed the development of certain ‘emotion reactions’ in children, and how parents can participate in early emotional nurturing as well as the pathways to start learning about one's own emotional world - gaining awareness, understanding and eventually, good regulation, the ‘EQ’ we often speak about.
If you have further questions or ideas for topics, please contact Shane Vey at shane.vey@ykpaoschool.com or Diana Zuo at diana.zuo@ykpaoschool.com.
