Hello! My name is Cheung-Lo 張佬!
aka journal
A few years ago, I tried my very best, despite the chaotic schedule, to ensure my daughter was connected to Cantonese learning in some way. Because Cantonese matters to me.
But we switched back to English when we wanted to emotionally connect. When we do this, what kind of messages are we sending to our child? How do we encourage our child to love and learn Cantonese when it is not even connected to our hearts?
This is how the concept of "The Story of Us" was born.
What exactly is this journal?
This is an interactive journal designed to nurture emotional connections between adults and children through engaging conversations and creative expression. With an emphasis on fostering high-quality interactions, this journal helps overcome communication barriers and strengthens the adult-child bond.
