“Special playtime” is a concept of dedicated time in which parents focus on being and playing with their child(ren) and enjoying their time together. Through playing with toys, which are very close to children, in the company of their parents, children can freely express their inner world, experience and feelings to their parents. It aims to help children relieve pressure and make parent-child relationships closer.

At COVID times, a lot of children are stuck at home and unable to study at school. As a result, the parent-child relationship of some families, especially low-income families with limited living space, has been negatively impacted. We have supported the Child Parent Relationship Therapy Association of Hong Kong in a project that aims to improve parent-child relationships by providing parents in grassroots families with classes about using child-parent games as a therapy.
