| Free Cyber Wellness Workshop – A Hit With Parents!
The first of three cyber wellness workshops, organised by TOUCH Cyber Wellness, held on 25 October, proved to
be a hit with parents. It saw the attendance of 78 parents and 16 kids. Many parents saw this as a great opportunity
for a fun-filled family outing on a Saturday morning.
The workshop kicked off with a technodrama, entitled ‘Misadventures of Boon', which got
the audience laughing as they witness the antics of the main character, Boon. Amid the
laughter, the audience was led to think about the reality and possible consequences of
youths being too engrossed in computer gaming.
After the technodrama, Mr Poh Yeang Cherng, Manager of TOUCH Cyber Wellness, took over to address parents
on how they can play digital games with their children. Giving a broad overview of the
current gaming scene, he highlighted some key games which were suitable for family bonding,
and singled out some which had inappropriate content. Parents walked away feeling more
enlightened about what their kids were playing, and were also empowered to take small steps
to connect with their children through digital games.
After the talk and an engaging Q&A session, the parents were invited to the games room
where they could get a hands-on experience on gaming with their kids. Staff of TOUCH Cyber Wellness were
also onsite to provide consultation and advice to parents who were eager to find out more
on cyber wellness.
Here are some of the feedback that we gathered:
