How well do you know the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Fes

How well do you know the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival? 🐉⁠
⁠
The Tuen Ng Festival’s tragic roots trace back to the suicide of Chinese scholar Qu Yuan as a protest to the government 2,000 years ago by drowning himself. The locals tried to save him by furiously paddling down the river and by tossing zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) to the water as an offering while beating drums loudly to ward off evil spirits. Qu Yuan wasn’t saved.⁠
⁠
Despite the sad ending, the Chinese commemorate his death through the Dragon Boat Festival, which has now become a modern international sport with a worldwide audience and is definitely a fun day out for the family.⁠
⁠
Head to the link in our Bio to find out where you can take the kids to watch it this year. 🐲⁠

Do you have a kid that loves football? ⚽🏟🥅

Do you have a kid that loves football? ⚽🏟🥅⁠
⁠
If you’ve got a kiddo who wants to learn how to bend it like Beckham, enrolling them in a football school (or any team sports!) can do wonders for their development, confidence and overall health. Not to mention it’s the perfect chance for them to make new friends! And let’s face it, there’s no other cultural unifier like sport – it’s a universal language.⁠

Let's Talk About The Stigma Around Child Mental He

Let's Talk About The Stigma Around Child Mental Health⁠
⁠
As a parent, it can be challenging to watch your child struggle and not know what you need to do to help them. ⁠
⁠
Unfortunately, there is still a stigma surrounding mental health that can make parents hesitant to reach out for support. ⁠
⁠
It's important to remember that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a proactive step towards getting your child the care they need. ⁠
⁠
Don't be afraid to reach out to a mental health professional or your child's pediatrician for guidance and support. ⁠
⁠
Remember, your child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and there are so many mamas out there facing the stigma too.
