"The children look at me, let's play the game of bean curd together, whoever clicks on it, who will introduce themselves......" Recently, in the children's home of Nanling Community, Zhongzhuang Street, Honghuagang District, a 2-3 year old parent-child activity is being carried out. Under the guidance of community staff and accompanied by parents, the children did finger exercises, read picture books, and played parent-child games, and the scene was harmonious and cheerful.
"We come to the community children's home every month to participate in activities, where we do finger exercises, play pony food games, and read picture books with our babies...... Very happy. Song Hongmei, a resident of Nanling community, said that it is particularly meaningful to participate in this activity, taking the baby to play games and sports with other parents, which can not only improve the child's cognitive ability, physical coordination and language expression ability, but also further enhance the relationship between parents and children.
It is understood that since the Nanling Community Children's Home was completed and put into use at the end of 2021, the community has relied on this position, according to the needs of children of different ages, to create a physical and spiritual environment suitable for the development characteristics of age in a planned way, with children's activity area, book reading area, psychological counseling room and other functional areas, and is also equipped with multimedia equipment, activity equipment, etc., to provide a place for learning and entertainment for children in the community.
The Children's Home is not only a place for children to play and relax, but also a good place for children to study and fill in the gaps during the summer. At the Haifeng Community Children's Home in Yinghong Street, the children in the community are actively studying in the company of college student volunteers, who patiently and meticulously answer the problems in their homework, explain subject knowledge, and teach them learning methods. Whether it is reading comprehension in Chinese, calculating difficult math problems, or practicing grammar in English, the volunteers give them accurate and clear guidance with their rich knowledge and good communication skills.
"Volunteering at the Community Children's Home is a great opportunity for me to get along with the children and gain some valuable experience that will help me continue to improve myself in my future studies and go to work." Dai Mingyi, a college student volunteer, said.
In recent years, Honghuagang District has actively promoted the construction of village (resident) children's homes through transformation and utilization, resource sharing, procurement and allocation, in accordance with the principles of government-led, co-construction and sharing, optimization of resources, diversified organization and long-term operation, and in accordance with the standards of unified name, fixed place, functional zoning, complete facilities, perfect system and special management. At the same time, strengthen the daily management and operation of village (resident) children's homes, guiding each village (resident) to regularly organize and carry out service activities such as temporary care, after-school care, health education, and moral education, and strive to open up the "last mile" of care and protection for minors.
"Up to now, there are 32 children's homes in the district that play an active role in the development of children's activities, safety protection, cultural cultivation, psychological counseling, and daily care." The relevant person in charge of the Honghuagang District Civil Affairs Bureau said that in the future, the District Civil Affairs Bureau will continue to promote the construction of village (resident) children's homes, guide children's homes to carry out diversified service activities such as leisure and entertainment, temporary care, after-school care, safety education, and behavior guidance, and effectively let the children's home, a "small position", play a "big role" in escorting growth.
