Upcoming Focus - The WEMP Foundation

3-year research programme with the University of Cambridge

Conducted in Hong Kong, the research is about the Early School Years of Hong Kong children, with emphasis on their socio-cognitive skills, social relationships, wellbeing, school readiness, support from families and impact of these on academic performance.

Upcoming Focus

The research programme is at the forefront of international childhood and parenting research

—

The research includes how specific aspects of caregiver-child interaction (e.g. warmth, autonomy, support, etc.) will impact on children’s empathy and ability to cooperate with peers.

Such impact often lasts a lifetime
So we see more clearly that the current behaviour of our spouses, colleagues and friends can be traced back to how their childhood caregivers interacted with them. Children’s behaviour can be improved with guidance and healing.
