諺語有云：「養兒一百歲，長憂九十九」，道出許多家長在育兒過程中的心聲。家長尋求各種育兒方法，幫助子女在瞬息萬變的環境中茁壯成長，有的尋求專業人士及家長朋友的指導，有得在網上群組中尋求理想方法，期望成為「稱職」的家長，但同時亦承受著越來越大的壓力。 前線同工分享一個服務個案，一位五十多歲的媽媽育有四名子女，其中三名分別八歲、十四歲及十六歲的孩子均有不同程度的自閉症譜系障礙，過去十幾年來將大部分時間都放在照顧家庭上，承受巨大壓力之餘，漸漸對自身的需要、興趣以至價值都遺忘了。 她參與了社聯與香港中文大學社會工作學系和社福機構合作的「賽馬會『你』想家長培力計劃」，透過提升家長能力和轉變思維方式，學懂欣賞自己及孩子的獨特性，明白要照顧家庭，亦要「照顧好」自己。她更發掘自己的烹飪潛能，擔任社會服務單位的烹飪班導師，並開設網店分享美食。她的經歷和體驗同時啟發了許多家長，樂觀勇敢面對挑戰。 順帶一提，每年5月15日是聯合國訂立的「國際家庭日」，社聯今個星期六及日將於荃灣愉景新城一樓中庭舉辦「快樂家庭月同樂日2023暨家長培力嘉許禮」，有許多以「家長與子女同行」為題的活動，例如互動裝置遊戲和新興運動，期望為家長注入新思維，啟發他們了解親職與個人成長的關係，鞏固家庭文化，一起營造家庭友好的環境。 文章刊於2023年5月2日《AM730–蔡海偉網誌》 ...
