Stage 3: Sharing Platform

Ms. Tang Po Chu , Headmistress

• It is difficult for children to truly understand what regular meal time is. Therefore, we organised games to teach children the importance of regular meal time; we also taught them that meals should be separated by intervals of certain duration. Throughout the project, the students were devoted.
  
  
• Our diet should be regular and with appropriate amount. The ‘Nutrition Guidelines for Children Aged 2-6 (For Pre-primary Institutions)’ issued by the Department of Health explains that children at different ages require different amount of food. For example, half a bowl of rice is already enough for children aged 2 to 4. Yet some parents may give their children a big bowl of rice plus other dishes because traditional Chinese people think that it’s not healthy to eat too little. Therefore, it is also essential to educate parents on eating the right amount.

Conclusion

Young children got a basic understanding of regular meal time through the game ‘dietary time tunnel’. The school also shared health information with parents. Through participation in the activities, parents learnt a lot about healthy diet of children.
