Hong Kong Central Library | Unlocking the Power of Parent-Child Reading Talks

Description

Through reading the works of children's literature master Eric Carle with our children, we as parents are reminded that we must respect the development of each child and let them 'be themselves'! Every child has their own strengths, lifestyle, characteristics and needs, and parents should understand, respect, appreciate and give them space to grow at their own pace.

Ms. Elaine Tang graduated with a Master's degree in Communication from Hong Baptist University. She previously served as Assistant Chief Editor of 'Sky Post' and General Manager of New Media Development at 'i-Cable TV'. In addition to her nearly 30 years of senior media work and management experience, she has interviewed thousands of celebrities and published more than 30 inspirational books. In the field of education, she was the former Chief Operating Officer of the Children's Development Assessment Centre and Emotional Health Centre, founder of a parenting platform, parenting columnist, part-time university lecturer, and was awarded the Hong Kong Marketer of the Year in Parenthood by the Hong Kong Direct Marketing Association in 2017/2018. She considers her son as her only masterpiece in life, believing that every child deserves to grow up happily and that every parent can achieve happiness in parenting.
