  • 【Leaving Parents Behind: A Shopping Adventure for Kids!】    In preparation for Father's Day gifts and to surprise their dads, several 4-5-year-old children from BGCA’s “SMILE” On-site Pre-school Integrated Services (OPRS) ventured to the supermarket on their own, without parental accompaniment. They chose gifts, selected ingredients, wrapped presents, and even prepared snacks all by themselves!    Seeing each parent's satisfied expression upon receiving the gifts was heartwarming. However, the biggest surprise was witnessing the children complete their tasks independently, taking a significant step in their growth. Even the dads were amazed, saying, "The kids' abilities really exceeded our expectations," and "I never thought they could do it without fussing..."    Shopping at the supermarket is a great social adaptation training. Children can enrich their life experiences, enhance their cognition and adapt to the community. In the process of communicating with staff and paying, they can personally experience the community environment, improve their language and social skills. Making snacks and wrapping gifts can train children's fine motor skills and is a great opportunity to encourage them to express their feelings.    Lastly, we extend our gratitude to AEON for donating gift vouchers during the recent "Yellow Receipt Campaign", enabling the smooth execution of this event. We're delighted that both parents and children gained valuable experiences from this event. On this precious family day, we wish everyone a Happy Father's Day!    【撇甩爸媽,小朋友shopping大冒險!】     為了準備父親節禮物,給爸爸一個驚喜。本會「樂牽」到校學前綜合服務(OPRS)幾位4-5歲的小朋友,在沒有爸爸媽媽陪同之下,自己到超級市場揀選禮物、準備食材,然後親手包裝禮物、親手弄小食!     見到每位家長收到禮物時都露出滿足的表情!但最大的驚喜就是小朋友就算無父父母在身邊,都能夠獨立完成任務,踏出成長的一大步!連爸爸們都讚賞:「小朋友嘅能力真係超乎我哋想像」、「估唔到佢無扭計…」      其實到超市購物是是一個好好的的社適訓練,小朋友可以豐富生活經驗、提升認知及適應社區的能力,在與店員溝通、付款的過程中,可以親身接觸社區環境、提升語言及社交能力。而製作小食和包禮物,可以訓練到小朋友小手肌,更是一個好機會去鼓勵他們表達心意。     最後感謝AEON在早前「幸福的黃色小票」活動中捐贈的禮券,令今次活動可以順利進行。好開心經歷整個活動後,父母和小朋友都有所得著!在這個重要的家庭日子,祝大家父親節快樂!     🌐 To Learn more about “SMILE” On-site Pre-school Integrated Services:  🌐 了解更多「樂牽」到校學前綜合服務:  https://lnkd.in/gg-hY5Am     #BGCA #BGCAHK #香港小童群益會 #培育新一代 #攜手創未來 #兒童及青年友好香港 #兒家開始 #父親節 #父親節快樂
