I’ve always believed that music is a powerful tool for early childhood development. This is why I’ve spent years of training and research specifically on age-appropriate methods for the youngest learners.

Now more than ever, I get to witness how music supports families in their transitions, and augments areas of children’s socio-emotional, cognitive, linguistic and physical development which have been challenged by the global pandemic.

I’m so happy to be personally teaching my own #Kindermusik classes this term.

Our team has opened up a few more slots in October, on a first-come, first-served basis. Email info@baumhaus.com.hk to see if there are available spaces for your preferred time slots.

2017年臺灣網路治理論壇今天在集思台大會議中心舉行，iWIN網路內容防護機構邀約我與各方專家學者一同分享在「論如何透過多方利害關係人治理模式防制網路霸凌」，政府和立法間在防制網路霸凌上的相互配合。

今年4/21，我和吳思瑤委員曾針對校園霸凌召開公聽會，除校園霸凌外，也談到網路霸凌的部分。當時對是否訂校園霸凌防制專法，並沒有太大的共識。

在對立法凝聚共識之前，仍有許多行政作為可以先來執行的。如教育部可在防制網路霸凌上扮演更重要的角色，確實教導孩子網路自律。在歐盟的許多國家，目前已開始推動一個ENABLE的全面性反霸凌計畫，其中的「社會情緒技能發展方案」(Socio-emotional skill development activities)，從小教導孩子辨認情緒、學習社交技巧和與他人互動，我認為朝這方向推動，將有助於解決霸凌及其他網路議題。

兒少遇到問題時，困境往往在於沒有夠信任的人可以求救。有時兒少遭遇問題時，反而不願意或不知道如何對父母啟齒。若能有一個被兒少信任的第三方，這時便可來給予協助。這些行政作為是我們可以先來做的。

For this episode, we went down to The Drunken Poet at Orchard Road to attempt an Undefeated 5KG Burger Challenge! This challenge has a 30-minute time limit and can be done in pairs. I invited a subscriber of mine and budding competitive eater, Edmund (@edapappe), to tackle this challenge with me. On top of all that, The Drunken Poet offered to donate $500 to a charity of our choosing should we do it within the time limit. We decided on Tak Takut Kids Club (TTKC), a children’s charity.

The burger itself consisted of a 1.5kg Beef Patty, a 1kg burger bun, 500g each of lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon and crispy onions, forming one formidable burger. It is actually available for delivery and costs $98.70, easily serving 5-6 people. Perhaps surprisingly, most of the components of the burger were delicious, especially the crispy bacon. With a time limit and only 2 daring men attempting it, it was truly a challenge. Focusing only on the kids relying on us, we pushed through and completed this Undefeated 5kg Burger Challenge in 28 minutes and 21 seconds.

Thankfully, this means that TTKC is $500 closer to their fundraising needs. TTKC is a home to many children and teenagers who come from challenging backgrounds. It is where children can come and play, make friends, get help with homework, and receive socio-emotional support that they might not be able to get in their own homes and in schools. As a connector to nearly a hundred participants (and local stakeholders), TTKC is also readily activated when community support for children is needed. It sees a daily attendance of 40 children, and their numbers are growing steadily! TTKC needs at least $25,000 to cover rent for the upcoming year, so please check out their website below to find out how you can support them, either by directly donating or through one of their fundraising programs.
