敬自由 / 性別平權

過去的台灣社會或許有男主外女主內的概念
但越來越多男性選擇以育嬰假方式陪伴小孩成長
.
在台灣可以申請領8成津貼的育嬰留停6個月
而整個社會的氛圍
也讓伴侶雙方能有機會協調、自由選擇
.
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中
我們就拍攝了這樣一位年輕爸爸
.
『在這裡 各種想法進步得很快
我和太太擁有完全一樣的選擇跟機會
因為想陪孩子長大
所以我跟公司請了半年育嬰假
他開口說的第一個單字就是爸爸
面對同樣重要的家庭與事業
我們一樣有力量』
.
若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視

Ingrained gender roles have taken a heavy toll on previous generations in #Taiwan and the greater Asia region. Many brilliant women were forced out of their careers and had to undertake the lion’s share of childcare duties, while men were denied the opportunity to be the primary care-giver to their children. Things are changing here in Taiwan and the government is trying to make this change easier, allowing both men and women to take up to six months parental leave to care for their child, with subsidies available allowing them to collect around 80% of their salary.

In the recent promotional short, "To Freedom," as part of MOFA’s #UNGA76 campaign, we feature the story of one such young parent, who represents many young men taking advantage of the recent changes to parental leave allowance:

“It’s quite progressive here. My wife and I have the same choices and opportunities. As I wanted to spend time with my child, I took six months parental leave from work and so his first word was “Daddy!” Family and career carry equal importance and require equal strength.”

If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.

It's hard to believe that my firstborn will be sitting for her PSLE papers in a couple of months' time. In fact, her oral exams begin this week. Yup, time flies!

I wish I had more one-on-one time to spend on revision with her but given how the baby keeps me busy all the time, it is really tough. Besides, some of the P6 concepts, especially Science, are too hard for me to comprehend or teach already. That means the girl has learnt to become more independent in her studies, which might not be a bad thing, right?

While we are still on the tuition-free route, we take the opportunity to learn whenever we can and for now, e-learning platforms which enable us to learn while staying home is something we would advocate. We have heard good reviews about Geniebook, an online suite of personalised learning innovations powered by Artificial Intelligence, and were excited to try out their 2-weeks GenieClass trial.

The girl attended some of the live online classes - GenieClass, including English, Math and Science, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Besides helping to recap some of the topics she has learnt in school, she also participated in quizzes and class chats which she found to be interesting and helpful.

We got to see and have a feel of how the teachers conducted these online classes and they were generally engaging and enthusiastic, which made the lessons fun and worth looking forward to.

In addition to GenieClass, Geniebook subscribers will soon get to use GenieAsk, which is a real-time teacher chat and a convenient way for students to ask questions they may have from school. Then there is the product they’re most famous for, their GenieSmart. These are AI personalised worksheets which draw from a library of over 150,000 questions aligned to MOE’s syllabus to identify academic strengths and weaknesses. And what I love as a parent most, you’ll have access to real-time progress reports of how your child is doing!

While PSLE might be a major milestone for her, instead of being stressed out by exams, I earnestly hope she will always find joy in learning. We've got this, dear Angel!

Loving the way she can now pose for me with such confidence 😂❤️

A lot of you have been asking about how we have raised her and for parenting tips from 2-4 years old.

To be honest. We’ve gone with the flow. Every child is different, and we know her so well now. The different stages are tough in their own ways. She had tons of tantrums and went through phases where she was a handful, but it passes. You just have to be persistent and patient (which can also be tough).

I am personally relieved to know that I have made sure she is safe and away from harm that I knew would have completely destroyed her.
She is extremely sensitive and she vibes off people around her.
We make sure we spend quality time with her, show her what is right from wrong, she has a routine and she knows this is her safe space.

Feel free to share how it was for you during 2-4 years old :) ? There is no parent shaming here.
