Secretary for Labour & Welfare and Commission on Children Vice-chairperson Chris Sun today listened to views from children and parents on how to improve physical and mental well-being through interactive activities, at a stakeholder engagement event held by the commission with the theme "Mental Health of Children and Positive Parenting".

The event was attended by a total of about 120 primary school students and their parents as well as representatives of the Education Bureau and the Department of Health.

Through a parent-child film, sharing of parenting experience, group games and parent-child interactive activities, the event aimed to encourage positive parenting and cultivate a loving environment conducive to children's growth, thereby enhancing their mental health.

Children were encouraged to speak up and express their emotional needs, and understand and embrace their emotions, while parents were offered advice on how to establish positive thinking for children and cater for their mental health.
