ETNet TV – 說說心理話 – 羅美珍院長分享「最滿足是看到孩子們長大後有好好生活」
專訪播道兒童之家羅美珍院長
主持: 崔潔彤、利嘉敏教授

今集,羅院長繼續分享更多的個案,當中有有趣的,有窩心的,亦有感動的。播道兒童之家院長羅美珍,當了29年院長,她表示最大的動力,是看到孩子們長大之後有好好生活,創傷得以療癒,在播道兒童之家的生活留下快樂的回憶。多方面的努力,讓住宿的孩子可以重回正軌,可以再一次擁有一個開心的人生。
羅美珍院長分享
羅院長覺得童年不快樂,需要用一生來療癒,所以她經常叮囑同事要給孩子一個快樂的回憶,怎樣都要說造就的說話,怎樣都不要說傷害他們的說話。面對來自破碎或有問題家庭的孩子,羅院長覺得要重要是給他們愛,讓他們知道世上還有人是愛他們的。
羅院長感觸孩子們都很希望有一個家,雖然播道兒童之家不是一個真的家,但都想讓他們覺得有「家的感覺」。 播道兒童之家就是一些受了童年創傷或是弱勢孩子的第二個家,重新給予他們快樂的童年,可以在愛中好好成長。
曾經有女院友在院舍出嫁,羅院長兩夫婦更做主婚人;另有第一代院友捐贈了位於九龍城一個2,000呎的物業給播道兒童之家作「青年家舍」,讓過了18歲的院友可以較低費用過渡自立生活;他們應該都一早把播道兒童之家當作真正的家了!
播道兒童之家成立了70年,羅院長更分享在去年(2024年) 有第一代70多歲的院友回饋捐贈了兩所物業給播道兒童之家作「青年家舍」,是一種一代傳一代、承傳的愛。
利嘉敏教授Kaman分享
在心理上的角度,一個人感覺到有人愛他,這個能量是很大的。對一個人來說,有一個原因去繼續活著,這個動力很重要。相反地,當一個人覺得這個世界沒有人愛他,他基本上可以自我放棄,所以愛是很重要的。

ETNet TV – 說說心理話 – 羅美珍院長分享「如何從小孩子的行為察覺他們心理上有壓力?」
專訪播道兒童之家羅美珍院長

播道兒童之家院長羅美珍,當了29年院長,數十年照顧來自破碎家庭的兒童及青少年,他們都面對著不同的問題,例如家暴、父母吸毒或坐監等,當中亦有部份是孤兒。羅院長跟大家分享當中遇過最難忘的個案。羅院長及利嘉敏教授亦會分享如何從孩子的異常行為觀察出他們正面對壓力問題,原來及早發現、及早治療,可以減低50%惡化的可能性,家長們要好好學起來!
羅美珍院長分享
羅院長分享其中一個最困難的是孩子第一次踏入院舍時,來到一個陌生的地方,同工如何可以令他們留下來安心居住。因為很多孩子都有創傷的經驗,需要很多的安撫,給予他們很多安全感,並藉著信仰 (祈禱、講故事等) 慢慢讓他們感覺到安全地留下來。曾經有一個孩子不喜歡入住院舍,又不喜歡上學,他說話時會不自覺地拔眉毛、眼眉毛及頭髮,原來是一種壓力的表現。
利嘉敏教授Kaman分享
Kaman表示當小孩子承受住不懂得表達的壓力,會有一些前驅症 (即表現行為),當孩子有行為開始異常、改善了自我照顧的習慣 (例如突然不喜歡沖涼)、感觀(視覺、聽覺、味覺) 異常,以及情緒起伏比較大,如持續地發生可能已經是告訴我們精神狀態出現了變化,家長要加以注意。Kaman提及在前期的時候及早發現精神病患,可以把他們情況惡化的可能性減低50%。

NRG Taekwondo Korea and Hong Kong Elim Presbyterian Church’s Young Adult Ministry Volunteer at Evangel Children’s Home On

On April 12, masters from NRG Taekwondo Korea (led by Master No Rae) and approximately 20 young adults from the Hong Kong Elim Presbyterian Church (led by Pastor Kim Seongcheol under Senior Pastor Cho Yoon Tae) visited Evangel Children’s Home (ECH). The visit began with English worship songs and dances that the children could follow along with, creating an opportunity to build rapport with them. The taekwondo dance performance which followed helped open the children’s hearts even more, improving the atmosphere. The final Taekwondo demonstration by Master No and NRG Taekwondo masters brought everyone together in cheers and applause, creating a unified experience.


After all the performances concluded, Pastor Kim delivered a sermon to the children about Jesus’ cross in preparation for the upcoming Easter. Through his message that “God sent His Son Jesus to forgive our sins although we are sinners,” the children received the message of God’s unconditional love.



“Seeing the children here made me realize how precious the things I’ve taken for granted are,” said Sangju Lee, one of the NRG Taekwondo masters who joined the event. “I initially came with a simple mindset of volunteering, but the time spent with these children was valuable, and though I came to serve, I feel I received much more.”


Hyunseong Lee, from the young adults ministry of Elim Church, recalled: “If last year’s mural painting was about covering the children’s wounds with love, this year while creating frames to hold the children’s artwork, I felt that we should always hold these children in our hearts. Although we only meet these children once a year, I wanted to convey that Jesus always walks with them, and I realized we should always keep them in our prayers.”


Halim Kim, from the church university ministry, shared: “I had the opportunity to visit Evangel Children’s Home again this year after last year’s visit. While I remember approaching each other cautiously and awkwardly last year, this year the children approached me first, and I felt warmed by their reduced guardedness.”
“What particularly stands out in my memory was a child who told me about scoring 12 on her math exam. That cheerful and innocent expression made me smile too. Another child who could barely make eye contact last year due to trauma was smiling brightly this year, sharing dreams of becoming a doctor. When the children talked about school or made casual comments about who was good-looking, I realized these children are no different from kids outside—just ordinary, innocent children. Hearing that their favorite food is the Korean fried chicken we’ve shared in last year’s event, I learned gratitude from how they find joy even in the smallest things.”
“However, thinking about what scars and memories might chase these children throughout their lives weighs heavily on my heart. Nor do I know the reason why the child I’ve painted pictures with had to have her face blurred in the official photograph. I also got to know that due to government policy, the children must leave ECH when they turn 18. Though ECH provides a transition period to help them adapt to society, I find myself continuing to pray that they can pursue their dreams in the world ahead, walking with Christ.”

Hyunseo Kim, also from the church university ministry, shared: “The children I visited after a year left me with many new thoughts. Unlike last year when church members conducted activities separately, this volunteer opportunity allowed us to interact directly with the children, giving me a warmer feeling.”
“A child who was initially hesitant to even share their name when we started drawing activities later came to hold my hand, asked to take pictures together, climbed on me to jump, and was upset because they couldn’t eat at the same table with me. This made me think about how much heart and love we can share in such a short time.”
“After returning, I couldn’t begin to measure what wounds these children carry from their past, present, or future, but I found myself praying that they continue to share healthy minds and love through good relationships. I hope I remain a good memory for those children as their ‘big sister.’ I hope to have another opportunity to be with the children again!”

Master No Rae, who sponsors Evangel Children’s Home, served as the bridge between NRG Taekwondo and Hong Kong Elim Presbyterian Church again this year, following last year’s collaboration. Regarding his reasons for supporting ECH for multiple years, Master No explained, “When South Korea was poor in the past, there were missionaries who spared no love and care for that land, which is why South Korea exists as it is today and we can now live in an environment without lack.
Therefore, I believe we shouldn’t just end with what we’ve received, but should pass on the love we’ve received, which is why I sponsor these children. We don’t know what influence our taekwondo demonstration and praise dance shown today might have on these children in the future. Perhaps even one of these children might be touched and become a great person who passes on the love they received today. I hope that such a virtuous cycle of love continues.”

We hope that activities like this, where young adults can share their various gifts, will continue. We look forward to seeing how the precious hearts of these young adults toward the next generation will be conveyed to the children, continuing the virtuous cycle of love that Master No hopes for.
