Taima Korero Internet Safety / Addiction Seminar
Saturday November 2, 2024
For the finale of this year's Parents Forum, we were thrilled to welcome Brett Harvey from Taima Korero, who delivered an insightful presentation on the critical and timely topic of internet safety and addiction. The event was made even more accessible with live Mandarin interpretation, ensuring that all parents could fully engage with the content. It was a fantastic conclusion to our series, and we’re grateful to everyone who joined us for this important conversation.
Saturday November 9, 2024
Over the weekend, ACTT and PBTech hosted a special event focused on fostering healthier digital spaces for families. Attendees had the exciting opportunity to collaborate and build a $3000 gaming PC while also engaging in important conversations about safe internet and device use.
With the rapid advancement of technology, online gaming and artificial intelligence play an integral role in shaping how young people interact. While gaming offers numerous benefits, it's essential to address the risks of excessive screen time and negative language. By working together, we can ensure safer, more positive online environments for the next generation.
Thanks to the partnership with PBTech, families also had the chance to redeem exclusive coupons at PBTech's Christchurch locations. Every redemption contributed to ACTT's efforts to acquire the latest gaming hardware, supporting the growth and innovation of the gaming community.

It was inspiring to hear everyone's experiences and motivations, and we're grateful for the opportunity to come together, learn from one another, and strengthen our community of counsellors.

During the session, John Wu shared valuable insights from his experience as a social worker and lawyer, discussing the unavoidable challenges teens face during their growth and how parents can prevent potential issues. He also explained the role of social workers, clearing up misconceptions about home visits and focusing on how they aim to ensure children's safety.

Parent Seminar - Raising a 'Problem' Child is Really That Easy
Saturday April 7 2024
On April 7th, we hosted an insightful Parent-Child Seminar titled "Raising a 'Problem' Child is Really That Easy," led by the insightful Panny. This session explored key parenting strategies such as how to be a “gentle but firm” parent, the importance of self-reflection, setting boundaries, and connecting emotionally with children to better understand their inner needs.
Panny also introduced the “I-statements” approach, offering practical guidance on how to effectively communicate with children and encourage better listening and cooperation.
With Panny's clear and thoughtful approach, alongside valuable discussions with our guest speakers, the seminar provided practical tools and insights to help parents navigate the challenges of raising children. It was an enriching experience for all attendees, and we look forward to more opportunities to engage with our community on this important topic.
