Friday Afternoon
Staff said, “Mama, you have to wait a little longer…, your daughter’s homework is not completed yet. There is a lot of homework today.”
Mama smiled, “No problem. When she returns home, she couldn’t do it at all…”
Friday Evening
Staff said, “Mama, please expect to pick her up at 6:30pm the earliest. There is usually a lot of homework on Fridays. ”
Mama smiled, “It doesn’t matter. I can wait. She will not finish at home.”
Staff said, “Thanks for waiting. You have to wait a little longer. There is one more to be finished.”
Mama smiled, “It is fine. It is better to wait. At least she has something to submit in school.”
The word “waiting” is not strange to parents of SEN (Special Education Needs) children. In particular, children suffering from problems with concentration seem to be “born without ears” that they are inattention to instructions. They can sit alone for half a day facing their homework untouched. Due to the lack of strength of their small muscles, writing is as difficult as “carrying buckets of mud on their shoulders”. Repetitive and intensive writing to them is like “farmers raking the field”. Many adults misinterpret these children as “lazy”, “uncooperative” or even deliberately confrontational.
When caregivers scream and roar anxiously, children will be frightened. In this case, with her serious lack of concentration and writing too slowly, her daughter has already scared away many tutoring agencies. A private tutor even resigned right after the second lesson.
The Bible says “children are a heritage from the Lord…” (Psalm 127:3). Children are human beings with flesh, blood and feelings, and they should be respected and protected by their parents.
In order to reduce parent-child conflict and the pressure of supervising homework, parents and caregivers can play the role of “waiting” when appropriate. This is also a kind of love and care to the children so they can enjoy their time together.
The Day Care Services (”S.E.N. 2.0” – Integrated Service) of Evangel Children’s Home is family-focused, children-oriented and community-based. We serve SEN primary school students and their working parents. We dedicate to becoming the SEN children’s second home in the community.
秋高氣爽，機構同工及家眷、院舍孩子及其家屬一起行山，遊走衛奕信徑及麥里浩徑，為65周年新里程留下「家」的足跡。大家「向山舉目一齊行」，欣賞天父創造的山水之美。
歷程完結後，品嚐山上的豆腐花，之後徐徐下山返回院舍。
先到達終點的孩子以歌聲鼓勵後來的大小朋友「衝線」，為65周年的户外活動留念。
孩子面對過去一年不同的挑戰，卻無損他們學習、進步及成長。
一年一度的大總結嘉許禮，在疫情緩和下，在9月25日順利舉行。今年是播道兒童之家65周年，一衆嘉賓光臨欣賞孩子的作品與表演之餘，更見證他們各方面的成長。
大會以《扶持飛躍伴成長》為主題，表揚孩子於生活技能、飛躍進步、與人和睦、認真學習、成績優異、整體表現、屬靈進步與公開繪畫比賽等各類別的努力。
孩子在MYBK 文化藝術教育發展協會舉辦的 「夢想起航兒童創作大賽2021」得奬作品。
同慶65周年，感恩有您的特別愛護，讓他們締造更多開心難忘回憶，成長路上縱有缺失，能摧抱更圓滿的希望。
踏進65周年的新里程，多謝長期支持者攜手培育家舍兒童及青少年，更為他們的「第二人生」齊創未來。暑假期間，我們以嶄新的接力踏健身單車形式，在充滿奧運永不放棄精神下舉辦了8場善舉，目標是每場共踏65公里，誌記65周年，為「第二人生」助跑計劃籌款。32位家舍孩子及青少年，與共8家企業、團體及教會健兒及捐款人超過400人，出錢出力，一同創造了674.3公里的紀錄，活動共籌得HK$251,940善款。
