Located at No. 28 Wenpu Road, the growth space for minors in Jiuting Town Heart Home is guided by the needs of minors, and has launched a variety of learning activities for both parents and children.
On the afternoon of April 19, an exchange activity with the theme of "You and I Meet" was launched as scheduled. Jiang Jingyan, a psychology teacher from Jiuting Five Primary School, led the children on a journey of acquaintance. Everyone sat in a circle, wrote their messages on post-it notes, and introduced themselves in turn. What's interesting is that in this "relay" process of self-introduction, the later the introducer's turn, the more information needs to be introduced, not only to introduce their own situation, but also to review the information of the previous introducer.
In addition to getting to know each other through self-introduction, these children, who had not known each other before, also formed a temporary team, and needed to name the team, design the team LOGO, determine the team slogan, and make a group poster. Some suggested naming the team after "Sunflower", hoping that everyone would be sunny and cheerful, others chose to name it "Little Hamster" because of their carefulness and tenacity in finding food, and some even came up with a name like "a basin of water" because everyone needs to drink water. "It doesn't matter what kind of name you choose, it's the process of communication. Jiang Jingyan said.
The children met and played, and the parents were not idle. In the specially opened parent rest area, the staff played a cameo role as the host, and a family education exchange and sharing meeting was also launched at the same time. Zhou Cuiping, the mother of fourth-grade student Shi Chenyu, said with a smile: "Adults and children have gained something, which is very good!" In addition, she is also full of praise for the activity courses launched by the Minors Growth Space of Jiuting Town Heart Home: "There are courses on family education, parent-child relationship, and mental health, which are very practical." ”
The construction area of the children's growth space in Jiuting Town Heart Home is about 109 square meters, and there are multiple functional areas such as children's reading area, children's consultation area, children's play area, children's puzzle wall, children's Lego wall, and children's DIY sand table area. Zhu Yixia, a staff member of the Women's Federation of Jiuting Town, introduced that the growth space is based on the purpose of "child-friendly and shared future", guided by the needs of community families and children, and provides diversified services such as parent-child activities, family education lectures, and STEAM science experiment courses for families and children in the jurisdiction. Currently, the growth space is open Monday through Sunday.
