PARENTS URGED TO SHOW MORE CONCERN FOR CHILDREN
***
PARENTS WERE TODAY (SUNDAY) URGED TO SHOW MORE CONCERN FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO HELP THEM TO DEVELOP THEIR POTENTIALS AND TO LEAD A MEANINGFUL LIFE IN THE COMMUNITY.
THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT'S REGIONAL OFFICER (HONG KONG), MR KWOK KA-CHI, WAS SPEAKING AT A FAMILY CARNIVAL HELD AT VICTORIA PARK BY THE WAN CHAI AND EASTERN DISTRICT FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
+THE FAMILY HAS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADOLESCENT, HE SAID.
+IF FAMILY MEMBERS SHOW CONCERN FOR ONE ANOTHER AND LIVE HARMONIOUSLY TOGETHER, THE ADOLESCENT WILL FEEL THE WARMTH OF THE FAMILY. THIS WILL BE A DEFINITE HELP TO HIM IN OVERCOMING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH GROWING UP.+
IN RECENT YEARS, THERE HAD BEEN WIDESPREAD CONCERN ABOUT THE PROBLEMS OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
BECAUSE OF THIS, THE ADOLESCENT AND THE FAMILY+ HAS BEEN CHOSEN AS THE THEME OF THIS YEAR'S FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION CAMPAIGN TO DRAW PUBLIC ATTENTION TO THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE FAMILY, MR KWOK SAID.
FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE CARNIVAL TODAY, THERE WERE GAMES STALLS FOR THEIR ENJOYMENT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN EXHIBITION ON +THE ADOLESCENT AND THE FAMILY+,
