Episode Summary
26 years in Hong Kong
Sam arrived in colonial Hong Kong in 1996. Arriving with nothing more than a backpack, she shares about her experience as a mother of two in Hong Kong.
The development of kids' character is dependent on both schools and parents. As a parent, we are our kids' primary educators. The benefit of the school is the social aspect.
In this episode, we will focus on outdoor education. We start by looking at the benefits of outdoor and wilderness education and then move on to discuss some specific schools that offer that kind of an experience.
In this week's podcast, Ruth Benny from Top Schools speaks with Joanna Hotung from Kids Gallery. They discuss school readiness, applying to schools, and being a parent in Hong Kong.
