"Why is my baby so full of energy and can't stop all day long?" "Why is my baby's feeding and defecation time irregular? It's hard to predict." "Why does my baby always vomit it out when adding new complementary foods? Does he not like to eat them? "...
Faced with these continuous problems of new parents, Ma Shiwei, deputy chief physician of Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Center and national second-level psychological counselor, has already been "prepared" - over the weekend, the 2023 Shanghai Scientific Parenting Guidance Charity Event "Parenting A special event "Gas Station" was held in Huangpu District. More than 1,500 families with children aged 0-6 participated in 92 games in an activity area of nearly 3,000 square meters. At the same time, they communicated and learned face-to-face with 9 major experts in the fields of education and medicine. Nearly 300 professional teachers from kindergartens in the district participated in the guidance.
In such a "big classroom" for parenting, new parents learned practical and easy-to-operate knowledge and professional answers from experts, and their caregiving anxiety was effectively alleviated.
On the game field, there are colorful "Lilliput Game Guides": Tutu Tank, Fortress Battle, Touring Avenue, Field Soldiers... Each early education center has carefully designed a variety of parent-child game activities. The "Lilliputian Parent-Child Game Activities" aims to allow parents and children to play together, have fun together, and learn to be parents who "know how to play together." These game projects cover almost all aspects of the growth of children aged 0 to 6 years old, and are specially optimized for families with multiple children to bring games into the home. At the event, front-line kindergarten teachers turned into game instructors and taught parents how to interact with their children at home. Lin Chenze, a four-and-a-half-year-old child from Lotus Pond Kindergarten, held the hand of his mother Li Lisa and indulged in various game experiences. There are special games from different kindergarten education groups in the district, which are an "eye-opener" for parents. Li Lisa said: "It's very rare to have such an opportunity to participate in an activity. There are professional teachers here to guide us on 'how to play'. I learned that there are secrets in parent-child games, such as when to encourage, when to praise, and whether to reach out." ‘A helping hand’ is all important.”
"Expert Face-to-Face" and "Expert Lecture" invite experts in the fields of education and medicine. Parents who have questions about education can consult experts on-site at each early childhood education center, and the experts will provide one-on-one answers. Xu Jing, deputy director of the Yangpu District Maternity and Child Health Hospital, and Zhou Wei, chief physician of the pediatric health department of the Huangpu District Maternity and Child Health Hospital, were busy at the consultation desk, with parents constantly coming to consult. "Parents' questions are actually very urgent and very detailed. For example, at what age can a child take off his diaper and go to the toilet on his own? What is the normal height and weight of a 3-year-old child? Is his child prone to malnutrition?" Xu Jing said, "In fact, every parent has questions, but they rarely have the opportunity to have face-to-face consultation with us." "In fact, we also need such opportunities to popularize science for parents, so many childcare links can be moved forward. ’, you won’t need to come to the hospital to register with us later,” Zhou Wei said. Ms. Zhang, who came for consultation, also felt that this face-to-face opportunity was very good. "Actually, as new parents, we all have a lot of questions, but usually we may use the Internet more often to find uncertain answers. This time, I can directly ask the experts and get the most professional answers, which makes me feel very at ease."
