“Who am I?” is a question many children (and even adults) wrestle with—especially when growing up between cultures.
This article explores the stages of cultural identity development and gives parents tips on how to support their children when they ask the big question. 💬👨‍👩‍👧

For children—and even for many adults—the question “Who am I?” isn’t just about likes, dislikes, or hobbies. It’s about understanding where we belong, how we see ourselves, and how our cultural background shapes our sense of identity.Growing up in a world with many cultures, languages, a...

你的小朋友是否充滿活力、行動超快?
這份光芒很可貴,但有時,他們可能會難以停一停、想一想、再行動。

我最新的文章分享了一個簡單的 5 步「先想後做」策略,家長可以在家中使用,幫助孩子在日常生活中更有意識地作出選擇,同時保留他們獨特的活力與個性。

有些小朋友天生就像有「加速模式」——在別人未講完就搶著回應、未看說明就急著開始、或者遇到不開心的事立刻作出反應。這份快速的能量,常常帶來創意、熱情和好奇心,但有時亦會令他們難以停一停、想一想、再行動。...

Is your child full of energy and quick to act?
That spark can be wonderful — but sometimes, they may find it hard to pause, plan, and follow through.

In my latest article, I share a simple, 5-step “Think-Then-Do” strategy parents can use at home to help children slow down just enough to make thoughtful choices — without losing their unique energy and personality.

💡 This approach is easy to use in everyday life — from homework time to handling sibling conflicts — and it’s based on research-backed strategies I use in my sessions.

🌟 如果世界已經唔再需要長時間坐定定,ADHD 仲算唔算係障礙?
如果唔使手寫都可以成功,書寫障礙仲係唔係一種限制?

佢哋真係「有障礙」?定係社會未準備好接受唔同嘅學習與思維方式?

📱 而家科技幫到手,例如語音輸入、AI 寫作工具,只要社會願意調整,佢哋一樣可以表現出色。

📖 歡迎閱讀、分享,一齊討論!

我有幸陪伴過許多思維方式獨特的孩子與青少年——包括患有 專注力不足過動症(ADHD)、自閉症(ASD)、書寫障礙(Dysgraphia)、讀寫障礙(Dyslexia) 的學生。我常常看到他們明明已經很努力,卻還是被責怪「唔夠專心」、「唔...

🌟 Is ADHD still a disorder if the world no longer requires sitting still for hours?
Is dysgraphia disabling when handwriting isn’t essential anymore?

Are these truly disabilities, or is society simply unprepared for different ways of thinking and learning?

📱 With technology like speech-to-text and AI writing tools, many challenges these kids face are now manageable—if we’re willing to adapt.

👇 Read, share, and join me in rethinking what "disability" really means.

💡 I recently wrote a short reflection on this:
👉 Rethinking Neurodivergent Labels: ADHD & Dysgraphia in Modern Society

I’ve had the privilege of working with many children and teens who think, feel, and learn differently—students with ADHD, autism, dysgraphia, dyslexia, and more. I’ve seen their frustration when they’re told to “just try harder,” even though they’re already working twice as hard as oth...

🧠 你有冇諗過,小朋友個腦都可以好似去健身室咁「操Fit」,提升專注力?

工作記憶(Working Memory)係專注力、情緒管理同學業成功嘅基礎。
但係如果你嘅小朋友經常分心、容易唔記得嘢,或者跟唔到多步指示,連日常生活都可能變得好吃力—對你哋雙方都係。

呢個時候,Cogmed 就幫到手。Cogmed 係一個有科學實證支持嘅認知訓練程式,有效提升小朋友嘅專注力同工作記憶,特別適合有 ADHD 或執行功能困難嘅小朋友。

💡 我係一位持牌教育心理學家(LEP)同 Cogmed 認證教練,致力幫助小朋友透過訓練令腦袋變得更強、更專注—唔洗靠藥物。

📬 下星期我會分享點樣可以參加呢個「訓練大腦」嘅課程。

🧠 What if your child’s brain could be trained to focus better—like a muscle at the gym?

Working memory is the foundation for focus, emotional regulation, and academic success.
But if your child struggles with distractions, forgetfulness, or following multi-step directions, everyday tasks can feel overwhelming—for both of you.

That’s where Cogmed comes in. It’s a research-backed cognitive training program proven to strengthen attention and working memory—especially helpful for kids with ADHD or executive functioning challenges.

💡 As a licensed educational psychologist and certified Cogmed coach, I help children train their brains to thrive—without medication.

📬 I’ll be sharing more next week about how your child can join this brain-boosting program.
