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.
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 think he wasted his time. How can I enhance his discipline when taking online courses?
Parents can discuss with their children to come up with a timetable which is mutually-agreed and helps manage their time on studies, entertainment and personal matters. Parents can also coordinate with the parents of your children’s friends to come up with a schedule to fix their time on studying and playing computer game inclusively. Under this arrangement, the children would have enough time to join together for entertainment without affecting their studies.
Meanwhile, parents can pro-actively chat with their children to learn more about their interest and let them share their views to create a harmonious parent-child relationships.
Because of technological advancements and the pandemic, playing computer games have become the primary mean for young people to build their social circles and create bonds with their peers. Therefore, while your son and his peers exclusively talk about computer games, he is also learning how to get along with people. Parents can also make use of their children's preferences to understand their children to provide them effective parenting.
