"Auntie, good news! The family education class you reflected last time that you wanted to hear how to educate your grandson will be sent to the village on January 4th, so don't miss it!"
On January 2, in Xinshuichong Village, Miao and Dong Township, Changpuzi Township, Suining County, Huang Chengxiang, chairman of the Village Women's Federation, was busy coming to remind the uncles and aunts in the village to listen to the class in time and arrange the lecture site.
This is a fragment of Suining County's family education customized class activities.
In recent years, the Suining County Women's Federation has innovated to create the "Love in My Home" family education brand, and has delivered family education guidance services to villages and communities according to the needs of the masses by carrying out customized family education guidance services such as customized lectures and other activities. In 2023 alone, "Love in My Home" will carry out more than 100 online and offline parent classes, more than 200 parent-child reading, and more than 20 parent-child outdoor activities, with more than 30,000 families in the county participating and benefiting.
Customized family education classes into villages and communities
"My child used to have poor reading Xi, but now he has increased his initiative in reading. On January 2, Duan Yixia, a resident of Zanglong Community, Changpu Town, Suining County, happily told the author that all this was due to the County Women's Federation sending parent-child reading classes to the community.
At the end of June 2023, when Wang Ganghua, the property manager of Zanglong Community, was patrolling the community, he found that many residents in the community mentioned in the chat that the school promotes reading, but parents have no good way to guide their children to read well at home, and some parents even think that reading is a personal matter for their children.
After hearing such a discussion, Wang Ganghua immediately asked for help from the community, and after knowing that there was a customized family education class from the community family education guidance service station, he contacted Yang Xitong, the temporary vice chairman of the Suining County Women's Federation in charge of family education work, hoping that the County Women's Federation could come to provide corresponding parent-child reading theme lectures.
Yang Xitong immediately went to the Zanglong community to conduct research and found that many residents in the community have such needs. After grasping the actual needs of the residents, the county women's federation handed over this customized class to Ding Xia, a member of the most suitable county family education lecturer group.
Ding Xia is a lecturer at the Suining County Oriental Baby-Friendly Family Education Guidance Service Demonstration Station, engaged in early education for many years, she has studied abroad, and has a number of professional qualification certificates such as family education instructor, senior psychological counselor, picture book reading instructor, and nursery teacher.
After Ding Xia formulated the lecture presentation according to the needs of the residents of the community, she also sent the content to the group of members of the family education lecturer group, asking everyone to help grind the lesson together in order to achieve the best results.
On July 17, 2023, Ding Xia gave a lecture on the topic of "Parent-child Reading and Reading to Enjoy Childhood" in the activity room of Zanglong Community, dozens of residents in the community came with their children to participate, and the staff of the County Women's Federation distributed publicity materials such as the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Family Education" and "Hunan Provincial Regulations on the Promotion of Family Education" on the spot.
"The reason why we launched the customized family education guidance service is because if the lessons sent are useless to parents, then no one will listen to them, and our work will be meaningless. We want to help parents solve their pain points in a practical way. Yang Xitong told reporters. "We hope to deliver services to the village community in an à la carte manner to ensure the accurate push of family education services and the matching of supply and demand."
In 2023, "Love in My Home" will carry out more than 100 online and offline parent classes, more than 200 parent-child reading, and more than 20 parent-child outdoor activities, with more than 30,000 families in the county participating and benefiting.
"One-to-one" assistance for left-behind children
In the process of carrying out family education guidance services, the staff of the Suining County Women's Federation found that many parents need parent-child activities, family education skills and other content. For left-behind children, they need more care.
"Now the economic pressure of rural families is not great, and the material needs of children can basically be met, but the spiritual needs of left-behind children are lacking, they need companionship, and they need someone to play with and someone to share with. Yang Xitong told reporters that there are three hurdles in educating children: accompany them attentively, set a good example, and be responsible, but some families can't do the first pass.
To this end, the "Love in My Home" team of Suining County Family Education Guidance Service Center has set up a "Love in My Home" women's volunteer service team to make up for the missing companionship in family education for left-behind children. At present, more than 400 volunteer families have joined in to "pair up with left-behind children and children in difficulty" in the depths of the mountains, and regularly send one-on-one warmth to the adopted "family members" to grow together.
Xiao Jurong, Secretary of the Party Group and Chairman of the Suining County Women's Federation, paired up with a child surnamed Liu in Daji Brick House New Village, Jinwutang Town.
Xiao Liu's parents work outside all the year round, and his grandparents take him with them. Xiao Liu is very withdrawn, and has had some strange behaviors, he once used a lighter to burn quilts, clothes, plastic basins and spoons at home, and burned wooden wardrobes. The grandparents didn't listen, and the family was very anxious. Xiao Jurong communicated with Xiao Liu face-to-face, gave him his favorite toys and books, and took him to the playground to play. Slowly, the child trusted Xiao Jurong more and more, and spoke his heart. It turned out that because his parents had been outside for a long time, Xiao Liu was worried that his parents didn't want him anymore, so he wanted to do something that seemed serious to attract the attention of his parents. Later, after the communication between Xiao Jurong and Xiao Liu's parents, Xiao Liu's mother chose to come back to accompany the child. Nowadays, children have become more cheerful and lively, and they like to learn Xi more.
In order to better help left-behind children, recently, the chairman of the Women's Federation of Xinshuichong Village, Miao and Dong Township, Changpuzi, and the chairman of the Women's Federation of Sanxingqiao Village, Wawutang Town, both submitted requests to the County Women's Federation to carry out a customized family education course in the village on "How to communicate with left-behind children by migrant parents". "The relevant courses are being produced and will be taught during the Chinese New Year. Yang Xitong said.
Family education guidance service stations cover all village communities throughout the county
With the building and fame of the "Love in My Home" brand, the Suining County Women's Federation has vigorously promoted family education guidance services to penetrate into the county, township, and village service positions. Up to now, the county has built 17 township-level family education guidance service stations and 235 community-level (village)-level family education guidance stations, achieving county-wide coverage.
Family education guidance service stations at all levels are to do a good job of extending and supplementing family education guidance at all levels by holding forums on home-school-community co-education, recruiting social organizations to participate in family education public welfare, and so forth.
According to Yang Xitong, the county women's federation has also held special vocational ability guidance training for family education, including the county's township, community (village) family education instructors into the training objects, and a total of 212 people have obtained special ability certificates for family education guidance and marriage and family counselor skill level certificates;
Xiao Jurong, Secretary of the Party Group and Chairman of the Suining County Women's Federation, said that the Suining County Women's Federation will give full play to the curriculum development and radiation driving ability of the Suining County Family Education Guidance Service Center, take the family education demonstration sites in the county and the family education guidance service stations covering all villages (communities) in the county as the platform, take the lively parent classroom as the carrier, take the creative parent-child activities as the starting point, and rely on the continuous development and growth of the Suining County Family Education Guidance Service Center "Love in My Home" The strength of the family education lecturer group continues to provide customized family education guidance services for the majority of families, so that the children in Miao Township and Dong Village, deep in the mountains, have the opportunity to grow up healthily with the help of good family education.
