A Christian charitable foundation in Shanghai hosted a lecture to help parents create a more comfortable family environment.
According to the Shanghai Agape Foundation, the "Science Popularization Events Focusing on Children's Neurodevelopmental Disorders," hosted by the foundation and the Shanghai Cao Peng Charity Foundation, occurred on January 31 with over 40 participants, including community residents and parents of autistic children.
Mr. Wang Sheng, an education specialist and founder of Shanghai Better Education, was invited to deliver a lecture titled “Be Wise Parents! How to Reduce Anxiety in Family Education?”
During his speech, Mr. Wang summarized several common anxiety symptoms in children, including nervousness, dizziness, and headaches, as well as a loss of interest in life and studying.
Wang identified four common factors contributing to children's stress. Parents' emotions are the primary source of children's stress, while overloaded tasks create an exceptional sense of urgency and a failure to obey since the duties exceed their time limit. The third factor is the unhealthy comparison, where children are constantly and unjustly rejected, resulting in low self-esteem due to incompetence and disapproval.
To reduce children’s anxiety, the lecturer provided parents with a few suggestions: Be sincere; don't laud or mock; simply communicate.
In addition, Wang advised parents to observe and validate the child's rhythm to ensure proper guidance. "Don't praise them emotionally or excessively; instead, guide the children sincerely and establish particular requirements."

上海一基金会举办儿童教育讲座。
据上海天爱公益基金会，上海市曹鹏公益基金会、上海天爱公益基金会联合举办的“关注儿童神经系统发育障碍科普系列活动”于1月31日举办。社区居民、自闭症儿童家长代表40多人参加了讲座。
讲座特别邀请教育领域专家、上海佰特教育创始人王胜为大家作题为《做有智慧的父母！——如何降低家庭教育中的焦虑感？》的讲课。
王总结了几种典型的孩子焦虑的表现：心情紧张不安、头晕头痛、对生活学习失去激情。
针对孩子压力的来源，王胜老师列举了几个典型的源头：一是父母情绪：它是孩子压力的主要来源。二是过量任务：超出时间范围内的任务所带来的超常紧迫感与服从无能。三是盲目比较：被多次的、非理性的否定，所导致的不胜任、不认可所造成的自卑。
对于降低孩子的焦虑，王胜老师给了家长几点建议：要保持真诚，不夸奖、不嘲讽，只沟通。要观察，肯定孩子的节奏，从而进行正确的引导。不要感性地夸奖和过度地表扬，要真诚地引导孩子，明确具体要求。
