on &#8220;Promoting Family Connection Through Parent-Child Co-playing of Video Games&#8221;. The results revealed that families who play video games together (&#8220;co-playing families&#8221;) scored significantly higher in family relationships and intimacy compared to those who do not. Notably, &#8220;co-playing families&#8221; showed statistically significant advantages in areas such as &#8220;emotional connection and support&#8221;, &#8220;mutual trust&#8221;, &#8220;communication&#8221;, &#8220;mutual understanding&#8221;, &#8220;cooperation&#8221;, and &#8220;respect&#8221;. The findings have garnered widespread media attention, resulting in over 20 interviews and reports from outlets including am730, Oriental Daily News, Ta Kung Pao, South China Morning Post, and RTHK Radio 1 programme \u201cMillennium Era and RTHK Radio 3 programme \u201cBackchat\u201d. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The Family Social Work Working Group recommends that parents shift their role from being one-way &#8220;monitors&#8221; to active &#8220;participants&#8221;. By proactively entering their children&#8217;s gaming world and helping select appropriate content, parents can transform &#8220;co-playing&#8221; into a valuable opportunity to build trust, foster communication, and enhance companionship. At the press conference, Mr. Wong, a father of three, shared his personal experience. He explained that he connects with his children through sports games and even uses in-game spending as a teachable moment for financial education, teaching his children about saving and taking responsibility for their spending decisions, putting the principle of learning through play into practice. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\" data-contrast=\"auto\">To further deepen parents&#8217; understanding of the research, the Family Social Work Working Group and the Counselling Unit&#8217;s Project 404 jointly held an online seminar on 9 May titled &#8220;Objection Overruled: How to Understand the Inner World of Children Glued to Their Screens\u2014A Seminar for Parents and Carers&#8221;. The event delved into why children can seem inseparable from their devices, how they fulfil psychological needs in the online world, and how to rebuild deeper parent-child connections in the digital age, walking alongside our children on their journey.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Full details of the survey can be downloaded from our website:<br><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/2026\/04\/26\/research260426\/\">https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/2026\/04\/26\/research260426\/<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ac063a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ac063a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75472cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"75472cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">YMCA Delegation Attends the 80th Anniversary Celebrations of Metropolitan YMCA Singapore <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e991be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5e991be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e1cac4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7e1cac4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7748e34 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"7748e34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 1\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/ymca.org.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/MYMCA-Singapore-80th_3-1536x1152.jpeg\" alt=\"MYMCA Singapore 80th_3\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9175d0b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9175d0b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6e80fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6e80fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">In early April, Dr. Arnold Cheng, our President, and Mr. Johnny Wong, General Secretary, led a delegation of Executive Committee members and staff representatives to attend the 80th Anniversary celebrations of Metropolitan YMCA Singapore, fostering exchange and cooperation between the two associations. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The itinerary was extensive where the delegation participated in a thanksgiving service and a celebration dinner, conducted a site visit to the latest service facilities at M.Y World Preschool, and attended a discussion forum and the launch ceremony for the Social Hub.

social service projects, the &#8221; Sport Therapy Enhancement Project for Special Educational Needs Children&#8221; initiated by us is progressing steadily. From April to June, trial classes were launched in Guangzhou, allowing trainees to apply their knowledge in a practical setting by providing sport support services to children with SEN. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The participants successfully completed the inaugural instructor training in Guangzhou in March and passed their assessments. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The training was conducted over two weekends by four of our professional colleagues from Hong Kong, including an occupational therapist, a registered social worker, and trainers from our STEP (Sport Therapy Enhancement Project). They delivered a four-day intensive programme to eight trainees, who were selected by the YMCA of Guangzhou. The group included their staff, long-term volunteers, and members of the public, all sharing a strong passion for supporting children with SEN. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Trainees particularly appreciated the course&#8217;s detailed explanations of activity design and how to interpret children&#8217;s responses. During the assessment sessions, they also had the opportunity to observe each other&#8217;s creative teaching methods, and deepened their practical understanding combined with professional feedback from the instructors. The training not only nurtured specialist skills but also highlighted the long-term value of Guangdong-Hong Kong collaboration in advancing professional social services. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fcd7ca e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1fcd7ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0a49abd elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-ld_imgtxt_slider\" data-id=\"0a49abd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ld_imgtxt_slider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-0a49abd\" class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider pos-rel text-center lqd-imgtxt-slider-fade\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-inner\" data-active-onhover=\"true\" data-active-onhover-options='{ \"triggers\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav a\", \"targets\": \".lqd-imgtxt-slider-images .lqd-imgtxt-slider-img\" }'>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-images lqd-overlay z-index-1 pointer-events-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-img elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"w-100\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<nav class=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-nav h4 d-inline-flex\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"reset-ul d-inline-flex flex-column align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"d-inline-flex elementor-repeater-item-7579641\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"lqd-imgtxt-slider-link d-block pos-rel z-index-2\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"PAIN Kick Zone\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>PAIN Kick Zone<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a7dae6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7a7dae6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fb3454 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fb3454\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em>As city dwellers who often work overtime and frequently perform repetitive motions, we are more susceptible to joint pain or sports injuries that can affect our quality of life.

When it becomes tight or swollen due to prolonged sitting, over-exercise, or other reasons, it can compress the nearby sciatic nerve.
