-avoid over-protecting 
-let children to solve their own problems rather than tackling for them
-explain the importance of being independent ]]> 2023-01-17 00:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446155358 s215944_2 https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446155645 Reasons:
1. Create burdens to the society ->future leaders with the lack of independence 
2. Worsen family relationship

Suggestions:
1. Parents can set up competitions at home to encourage children to take up their own responsibilities.
2. Schools can set up rewarding schemes in schools to provide them chances to develop independence.
3. Schools can arrange talks about Kong-kids or workshop to raise awareness.

Suggestion: Interfere the problem by the parents’ side. Parents setting good models and do housework with the children to show the importance.]]> 2023-01-17 00:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446155670 s2159351_2 https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446156394 The problem: domestic helpers and parents spoil
Suggestion: parents stop hiring domestic helpers once the children reach a certain age, reward the child with stickers if he or she helped with housework
Summaries: enter and interfere with different perspectives and ways]]> 2023-01-17 00:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446156394 s215902_3 https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446156516 -Physically : parents should teach their children basic daily tasks.
Action: experimental activities 
  • Reward & punishment scheme (set daily tasks for children to earn rewards)
  • Encourage children to do housework (intrinsic encouragement)
-Mentally: Parents should stop spoiling their children 
Actions: shouldn’t ask older siblings to help younger siblings with simple tasks (packing schoolbag) 
Teach children to be considerate and empathetic (prevent them to be self centred

Parents :
-create daily tasks + award 
-send to camp -> train to be independent
Teacher/schools :
-lessons on teaching them live skills and daily self care ability

Reason- he’s students are overly pampered and spoilt, lack of self- discipline and independence. Unable to look after themselves and have low emotional and adversity.✅

2. Suggestions 1: Parents can arrange activities for children to participate, teach them life skills and tell them that it’s easier that it seems.( What kind of activities? It’s relevant with the reason, but can children easily do it after the parents have spoiled them for a long time?)

Suggestion 2: Parents should let go of their children, build up their own responsibilities and give them chances to develop independence( how to let go?Its relevant and effective,)

Suggestions3, Parents can arrange rewarding scheme( its is external motivation, relevant and effective.)

1. The culture of Hong Kong (hire helpers) —> children become more dependent —> kong kids 

2. Hong Kong has a lot of rich families —> more resources for children

Suggestions: 
1. Parents can encourage children to help with simple housework. They can use the reward and punishment mechanism (E.g. sweep the floor)

2. Schools can set competitions for students to train their ability of doing housework. A useful idea for competitive students.

3. Parents shouldn’t spoil their children. Children should obey their command.

Reason: parents spoil them, thinking that their child needs help, overprotecting their children 
Suggestion 1:
Schools can provide lessons ( teach life skills )
Provide hands-on or experimental activities 
Fun 
Children can learn happily 
More willing to finish tasks/ housework
2. Parents can do task and chores with their children 
Children won’t feel lonely 
Support them step by step 
Learn from parents 
3. Parents should let children understand the importance of independence 
Children will know their parents’ motivation behind the tasks.
Summarise opinion:
Schools can provide life skills course and lessons 
Parents can work with their children
Parents should explain why their children should do the tasks.]]> 2023-01-17 00:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/goodhope/emhnawr2uxu00bzl/wish/2446162053
