CHILDREN NEED HELP IN DEVELOPMENT: LADY WILSON
*
CHILDREN NEED TO BE HELPED TO DEVELOP IN ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIVES, IF THEY ARE TO EMERGE AS WELL-BALANCED INDIVIDUALS, LADY WILSON SAID TODAY (SATURDAY).
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE CHILDREN'S MONTH ORGANISED BY THE HONG KONG COUNCIL OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND SERVICES, LADY WILSON SAID THAT IF WE COULD TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO FACE PERSONAL AND OTHER CHALLENGES IN A POSITIVE WAY, AIMING FOR PEACE, HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING, THEY WOULD GROW UP TO MAKE A FAR BETTER WORLD FOR THEMSELVES AND THOSE AROUND THEM.
THEY WOULD MOST PROBABLY LEARN BETTER ALSO, SHE ADDED.
LADY WILSON NOTED THAT A PARTICULAR POPULAR ACTIVITY OF THE CHILDREN'S MONTH WAS THE SCHOOLS EXCHANGE PROGRAMME WHERE CHILDREN WERE ENCOURAGED TO MIX WITH THOSE FROM OTHER BACKGROUNDS, AND WITH THE DISABLED, IN ORDER TO HELP INCREASE UNDERSTANDING AND TOLERANCE OF PEOPLE WHO WERE DIFFERENT FROM THEMSELVES.

SHE SAID THAT YOUNG CHILDREN POSSESSED A NATURAL CURIOSITY ABOUT THE WORLD, WHICH, IF FED BY BEING EXPOSED TO ALL SORTS OF EXPERIENCES, WITH A LOVING PARENT, OR A TEACHER, TO EXPLAIN EACH NEW SITUATION, CHILDREN GREW UP WANTING TO LEARN MORE AND MORE,
AND WITHOUT BEING FRIGHTENED OF THE UNKNOWN.
LADY WILSON PRAISED THE HONG KONG COUNCIL OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND SERVICES FOR HAVING WORKED HARD TO AROUSE INTEREST AND AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION IN EXPOSING CHILDREN TO DIFFERENT IDEAS AT AN EARLY AGE.
