How much time do your kids spend on playing every day?
Do you even consider whether your children have enough time to play?
Ashley is 8 years old, and is a typical Hong Kong primary school student. Her schedule is fully occupied with her studies. It is absolutely not her own plans, but the schedule is more or less the same as her classmates. She always complains "I need to study, study and study, no time to watch TV or play at all. Please, give me some time."
Under the Hong Kong education system, parents will design a perfect study schedule for children for competitive reasons. Besides studying, do parents know what their children need? What is important for their development?

你的小朋友一天花多少時間玩耍？是否足夠？
八歲的Ashley，是一名典型的香港小學生。她的學習時間表大致上和別的學生一樣，被各式各樣的功課和課堂填滿。因此，她經常投訴因為學習而沒有休息玩樂的時間。
在香港教育制度下，父母為子女制訂一系列的學習時間表，全因為希望他們能面對各項的競爭，想子女可以嬴在起跑線上。但除了讀書外，父母真的了解他們的需要知道？在小朋友的成長階段，甚麼才是重要？
為何不給他們選擇喜歡做的事？
