Parenting: One-on-One

在居家抗疫的期間，父母子女的生活作息都侷限在同一個屋頂下，無論工作或學習都仰賴電腦在線上完成任務。目前疫情仍在肆意蔓延，何時能回歸過去正常生活狀況，目前仍是未知數，只有耐心等待政府的指示並遵守防疫措施。這張傳單提醒我們，經過這麼多月的靜好生活，大人小孩的身心狀態都相當疲憊，需要彼此充電，每天如能撥出一點時間互相打氣，做些親子活動至關重要！

上週五在線上舉行萬聖節的派對，疫情中大家苦中作樂，各班老師、學生都變妝成自己幻想的角色，校長、董事、行政人員也都打扮花俏到各班串門子，為平靜的課堂上增添不少人氣，雖隔著螢幕慶祝鬼節，祈願把歡樂散播，大家過節玩得開心！

Shelter in place and the partial lockdown confine the entire family to work and study under their roof. Majority of the time, the Internet is the only safe and sound resource to navigate and connect with the world outside. This unprecedented and unique global health emergency does not seem to be alleviated any time soon. Many households are overwhelmed and are grappling with how to mutually support each other's mental health. The COVID-19 PARENTING poster herein reminds us of the importance of "one-on-one time" among parents and children. Setting aside a brief quality and playful time with each child on a daily basis would not only bolster the parent-and child relationship but also build resilience. Some of the fun activities that you could model after are those games that our teachers play with your children in class.

Playful time is our best weapon against the Coronavirus pandemic. Halloween Costume Contest is one of BVCS' most fun traditions. The virtual Halloween Party last Friday was a blast. Teachers and students donned their incredible, wacky outfits and posted for the panel of judges, composed of the principal, board members and administrative staff, whom in their spooky disguises paid a brief visit to each class. A lot of joyful moments were added to our memory lane. Selecting the winners was a tough process. Judges evaluated the final display as much as the journey taken to create the costume and the excitement radiated from the character.
