Youth

HKFWS reaches youngsters in their campuses. With the aim of "strengthening families", we provide professional counselling service to nurture youngsters’ holistic development. Stepping into the Generation Z, youngsters indulge in internet, which creates family conflicts and parenting problems. Our social workers help youngsters facilitate their communications with parents and relieve family tension to promote mutual respect and understanding among family members.

Online Learning

I am a working mother. Recently, the pandemic is getting worse. In addition to working from home all day, I also have to keep track of my children's study schedules and progress. My elder daughter will be promoted to secondary one next year and she is very likely to continue online learning. How do parents and children earlier adapt the new normal of online learning?  

Recently, I noticed that my son has used the school’s online forum and online meeting software to exchange information on playing computer games with classmates rather than school work discussion after finishing a half-day online studies.

I am a single mother, and I lost my job due to the pandemic.  My son needs a computer to take online courses, but I can’t afford a new computer or any internet access charge for him. Besides, I have no idea on how to use computer software. Are there any social resources available to assist me?

My son has taken online courses for two years. Recently, I noticed that he felt distracted and was reluctant to talk to me. I suspected he has mental health problems induced by online courses. In fact, how do parents detect their children to have such problem? What could parents do if they find their children suffering from mental health problems?  

My wife and I need to go to work, and our children stay home by themselves for online classes without supervision. My wife is worried that they will go online, browse webpages, play online games, get addicted to this practice, waste their time and affect family relationships. How can my wife and I make our children concentrated on studying online and developing healthy online habits?  

My children take long hours of online classes. They told me they felt exhausted and their eyes were tired. Are there any tips for eye protection and relaxation?

Due to the pandemic, schools arranged their students to take online classes most of the time last year. I found that the academic performance of my children has been affected. In the new academic year, it is expected that the arrangement of online classes will continue. How can I help my children prepare for the new academic year and enhance their interest in learning?
