🧠 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.

暑假唔一定要排滿晒時間表。🤩🤩

有時，小朋友喺無拘無束嘅玩樂中學到嘅，比任何課堂都多。

我寫咗一篇文章，講下遊戲點樣幫助腦部發展，點樣成為情緒調節同信任建立嘅關鍵。
甚至連心理治療都可以因為一場遊戲而180度改變。

This summer, let your kids play.🤩🤩

Not everything needs to be structured or scheduled. Sometimes the greatest growth happens during the most unstructured moments—like pretend games, drawing, or even hide-and-seek.

I wrote this article after seeing how powerful play was in one of my own therapy sessions with a teen who had shut down completely… until we started playing.

Strong relationships aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential, says clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour.

When kids are babies, it’s easy to tell when they’re happy—deep belly laughs, huge toothless grins, and excited squeals make their emotions crystal clear. But as they grow, their feelings become more complex, and the signs of true happiness can be harder to identify. Tap link in first comment for more information.
