Hana Financial Group announced that it held the 1st “Raising Children Positively” Conference at Suwon City Hall Auditorium on Sept. 27 to prevent child abuse.
The Raising Children Positively Conference is part of Hana Financial Group’s Hana Power On Care Program to support the marginalized.
It will be held in five regions – Suwon of Gyeonggi Province, Changwon of South Gyeongsang Province, Mapo-gu of Seoul, Yeosu of South Jeolla Province and Asan of South Chungcheong Province.
The event ran simultaneously offline and online. It was attended by about 300 people, including parents, childcare workers and citizens interested in childcare.
The conference was organized under the theme of “Happy Parenting, Happy Parents” and consisted of expert lectures and talk show-like concerts which provided a change of perspective on positive parenting practices and ways to make parenting fun.
In a lecture by an invited speaker, experts shared with parents attitudes that parents should have to have fun and happy parenting and their know-how for positive parenting.
In the talk-show-like event, panelists and parents shared real-life challenges in parenting based on questions which they had received in advance, and had a Q&A session on how to practice positive parenting.
“The message that parents’ happiness should be prioritized for happy parenting really resonated with my busy parenting life,” said a parent who attended the conference.
“As I talked about my parenting problems with experts and other parents at the conference, I felt comforted by advice from the experts and the other parents and gained great energy for positive parenting.”
“Hana Financial Group will continue to provide sincere and generous support to protect bright smiles and healthy growth of our children who are the hope of the future,” said an official of Hana Financial Group’s ESG Planning Team.
Those who wish to participate in the conference are asked to apply on the website (pdepconference.or.kr).
