South China Morning Post – 13th March, 2018

 

SCMP reported that Dr Chan Wai-ling, Assistant Professor at the Department of Early Childhood Education, said parents can help their preschool children to discover potential hobbies by exposing them to a broad spectrum of experiences.

 

Dr Chan said an enjoyable hobby helps a child form their personal identity and enhance their confidence. However, she warned parents against imposing their own hobbies on their children.
