At Concordia, the growth and education of students are never confined to activities on campus, but are organically integrated between home and campus.
Gaining strength from dialogue and drawing vitality from communication, the Concordia Parents' Academy, based on the concept of parenting and the practice of home-school construction precipitated by the century-old brand, aims to mobilise all the energies conducive to the growth of students.

Parents' Emotions are the Soil
for Children
A parent's emotional stability can give a child a sense of security, but Amy shows us in another way that adults can have "negative" emotions too.
You don't always have to hide your 'loss' or show your 'perfection'.
Children are much more sensitive to emotions than we think. As an adult, it is important to respect your child, lower your short-term expectations, examine conflicts, sort through emotions, and take responsibility for your own emotions.

There is an 'ABC theory' in emotion management, which means that to change emotions, what we have to do is not to change external events, but to change our own perceptions, especially irrational and distorted perceptions.
Absolutes like 'you must come first in the exam', 'the standard answer is', 'you can't let yourself fail the exam' are all irrational.
At Concordia, we don't have standard answers and every child has the right to express themselves. We are not afraid to make mistakes, we are 'brave' enough to make mistakes and be the master of our own emotions.
How to Discover your Child's
Character Strengths
Parenting is not about correcting their weaknesses and mistakes, but recognising and nurturing their strengths. Positive psychology asserts that a child's strengths are hidden in 24 character traits.
Character strengths are a source of well-being, promoting an individual's self-awareness and sense of self-worth, and increasing an individual's sense of fulfilment and happiness.
Happiness is also a subjective experience that separates children from each other. Positive psychology practices positive education, which has an unparalleled positive impact on a child's physical and mental health, character development, talent fulfilment, life value building, and the ability to perceive happiness.
Vanessa Chen leads parents through character tests such as concentric circle activities, happiness ranking questions, and so on.
We take a step-by step approach to help children develop a calm, positive, optimistic and positive mindset through positive education, and discover that the process of shaping a child's personality is an interaction of strengths, interests and talents, which unknowingly leads to the development of "other people's children".
