Scope of Conference
The first 1,000 days of a child’s life are the golden period for their growth and development, laying the foundation for the comprehensive development of each individual. This conference examines the three key aspects that contribute to a well-rounded upbringing: physical health, mental health, and interpersonal relationship. A panel of experts will join us to share their insights and practical advice on creating a more nurturing environment for young children in Hong Kong.
We believe that all of society benefits when children experience a happy childhood. Through this conference, we hope to share evidence-based practices and experiences with audiences to promote children's healthy development to reach their full potential. Together, we seek to create happy and fulfilling childhoods that uplift all of us and the community.
