1. Understanding adolescent development;
2. Promoting healthy, happy, and balanced development of adolescents;
3. Promoting physical and mental health of parents;

Introduction

This course includes 20 expert video lectures and 10 online broadcasts where experts address common parental challenges. It aims to help parents better manage their children's screen time and promote their mental health, academic performance, social skills, and emotional development. Additionally, it enhances parents' effectiveness in educating their children and improves parent-child relationships.

Furthermore, the extended course trains parents to take on a coaching role and engage with students in creative STEM courses, fostering mutual communication and understanding. Recognizing that many parents are very busy and unable to attend various school-organized parent seminars or workshops, we have specially designed this online course to be suitable for parents to learn at any time.
