The Child Development Centre reposted this
Totally addicted to the awesomeness of audio. 📻 Finishing up a week on Brunch on RTHK Radio 3 and falling in love with radio all over again. 🎙 Let's talk audio projects! Podcasts, documentaries, VOs -- get in touch with Ellie Macalister-Smith and I because audio is a beaute medium and we can all do more with it. 🤌🏼 📺Fab way to wrap up Friday with a chat to Dr. Yvonne Becher from The Child Development Centre talking about screentime this summer. 🦧Then Anita Lam and Andy Stokes from ALAN (Artists Who Love Animals and Nature) joined me to chat about their upcoming project: Spirit of Sumatra, part of their Happy Zoo mission -- it's brilliant. Check them out @wearealan www.wearealan.org And LISTEN TO Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) RADIO 3. It's a passionate team of amazing broadcasters and I am so grateful to be a small part of the crew. 🌟

Such insightful session! Reminder to parents - “Less Screentime, More Activitites Time with your children”!
So wonderful to have the uplifting and passionate education consultant, Sarah Kingham back in Hong Kong for a series of inspiring and fascinating talks hosted by The Child Development Centre. Sarah is a wealth of experience and knowledge, and what she has to share about the effects of screen time and adult chronic distraction on children was powerful. Her work aligns so much with the values and approach of The Child Development Centre and it is brilliant to learn from these amazing advocates of literacy, play and family connection. (As I am always learning from the remarkable Yvonne Becher).
