文化，點樣影響我哋回應小朋友嘅情緒？

今集 Bilingual Speech Spot，Chloe邀請到 Blackburn Speech & Paediatric Therapy 嘅遊戲治療師Sonia，一齊探討中西文化喺育兒方式上嘅差異，以及對孩子情緒發展同行為嘅影響。

我哋會講到中國文化中嘅孝順、家庭和諧同尊重權威，點樣影響家長管教方式；同時亦會分享點樣喺「設立界線」同「理解情緒」之間取得平衡。

另外，今集亦會教你一個簡單實用嘅三步曲：
✔️ 先回應情緒
✔️ 再設立界線
✔️ 提供替代選擇

以及一個好重要嘅觀念：
👉 完美唔重要，修復關係先最重要

🔑 重點內容：

• 什麼是遊戲治療（親子關係為核心）
• 中式 vs 西式育兒差異
• 小朋友情緒管理
• 如何設界線同時不忽視情緒
• 建立更穩固嘅親子關係

🎙️ Cultural Parenting, Emotions & Play Therapy (Chinese vs Western)

How does culture shape the way we respond to our child’s emotions?

In this episode of Bilingual Speech Spot, Chloe is joined by Sonia, a play therapist at Blackburn Speech & Paediatric Therapy, to explore the differences between Chinese and Western parenting — and what this means for emotional development and behaviour.

You’ll learn how cultural values like filial piety, harmony, and respect for authority can influence parenting approaches, and why many families find it challenging to acknowledge emotions while still setting boundaries.

We also share a simple, practical framework you can use daily:
✔️ Acknowledge emotions
✔️ Set clear boundaries
✔️ Offer alternatives

Plus, an honest conversation about imperfect parenting, emotional regulation, and why repair matters more than getting it right every time.

🔑 Key Topics:

• Play therapy explained (parent-child focus)
• Chinese vs Western parenting styles
• Emotional regulation in children
• Setting boundaries without shutting down emotions
• Building stronger parent-child relationships

You don’t have to choose between discipline and connection — your child needs both.
