 | Conference: CAP2010 - 多元智能=全能? |

父母子女教育俱乐部第七届子女教育研讨会暨年会 on 10/09/2010
Opening remark + Keynote speech by Dr. Xiao Lei Wang and her presentation VGs
Duo Wei News report
多元 全能 天份——挖掘孩子的潜能
《多维时报》和父母子女教育俱乐部共同举办第七届年会
多维记者 邹兴睿
“语言、音乐、空间感、逻辑思维、社交能力等等都是多元智能的体现。”主讲人王晓蕾的开场白让家长对孩子一下有了立体的认识。“当过主管,创建过公司,做过老师,办过学校,也激流勇退回家当过家庭主妇……”四位专题讨论会的专家每一位都十分丰富的背景,让人不得不考虑他们在不同环境展示出的不同能力。
10月9日,《多维时报》和父母子女教育俱乐部共同举办了第七届专题子女教育研讨会。今年的主题为“多元智能=全能?”(Understanding Multiple Intelligences, Knowing Yourself),旨在为家长提供“更好理解多元智能,了解你自己,了解孩子。”这样的讨论平台,为到会家长提供了精彩的演讲,并和主讲人及各位专家展开了丰富的讨论。
主讲人王晓蕾(Xiao-lei Wang)1992年从芝加哥大学获得博士学位, 目前在Pace University 任教育学教授。王教授是一位跨学科的学者。她的研究领域很广,涵盖子女教育的文化模式,非语言交流对在家中多种语言习得和发展的影响。
她在演讲中提到,看起来淘气,无用的孩子,经过正确的引导和启发,一样可以成材。尤其是要学会从各个方面挖掘孩子的潜能,多元智能涵盖面其实非常广泛,在语言、音乐、逻辑思维等等方面之外还有更广阔的空间,要不断的鼓励孩子发现自己,并在日常生活中避免给孩子负面的影响以及应付的态度。另外,“给孩子机会,让他们有更多的机会去接触不同的事物,有自己的判断才能不断成长,哪怕是错的,家长不能全部代劳。”
本次专题讨论会上的几位专家,前AT&T的主管David Lu,创办私立学校的廖冰(Bonnie Liao),出版过多部畅销书的作家陈屹(Helen Chen),以及创办个人权利公司的 Loise Kuo Habakus,他们丰富的经历为家长们打开不同的眼界。主持人刘向群为他们各自的经历喝彩,并穿针引线的让他们分别介绍了在不同领域和经历中如何发掘出了各自的能力。
来自上海的David Lu在AT&T做了23年,主管过百余人,同时在音乐领域和教会,以及培养孩子上有很多体悟。Louise说自己是美国长大的华人第二代,从小父母和自己的要求就是要做个乖乖女,好学生,好妻子,好妈妈,从开始做母亲的那一天起,她就发现自己的工作角色完全改变。陈屹表示,从小父母就言传身教“一切要靠你自己。”作为1977届的大学生,又有着非常多的经历,她说那一届只是有着比常人更加执着更加坚持的精神,教育孩子中她也把这些融合其中。为华人熟悉的廖冰,先后任职美林证券,高中教师.等不同职业角色,她在教育上的激情从来没有间断过,创建了英华日校,并积极筹建中英双语私立学校。
本届会长吴建华(Dennis Wu)介绍了父母子女教育俱乐部,以及HASA,多维时报和甘肃万华实业集团等支持者。他表示PCE自成立以來每個月都堅持舉辦活動,提供各種講座,知識問答,戶外活動,提供切磋孩子才藝的舞臺,同時為各位家長建立非常好的咨詢交流平臺。

"多元智能=全能? Understanding Multiple Intelligences, Knowing Yourself" is the theme of the 7th annual Chinese American Parenting [CAP2010] conference.
Since 1983 when Dr. Howard Gardner, a Harvard professor of education developed the concept of “multiple intelligences,” there have been misconceptions about the concept as well as its application in parenting and in classrooms. How can this well-researched concept help parents to help their children achieving their potential?
We are fortunate to have Dr. Xiao-lei Wang (王晓蕾) as the keynote speaker. Dr. Wang received her doctoral degree from the University of Chicago in 1992. She is currently a full professor in the School of Education at Pace University. Dr. Wang was a regular speaker for Voice of America, local, national, and international parents’ associations on child and language development. In addition, she is a regular invited reviewer for several academic journals. Dr. Wang is an interdisciplinary scholar. Her research covers a wide range of topics such as cultural parenting styles, effects of nonverbal communication in teaching and learning, multilingual acquisition and development in the home environment, and moral development. Her recent books “Growing up with Three Languages” and “Reading and Writing in the Multilingual Home” (in press) focus on the challenges and strategies of raising children with heritage languages.
Following the keynote speech, Ms. Sandra Liu will moderate a panel discussion focusing on a wide range of practical parenting issues and questions related to this year’s theme.
The distinguished panelists are:
Dr. Bonnie Liao: Educator & entrepreneur, longtime adviser of the PCE Club.
Mr. David Lu: Executive Director of AT&T, founding member and leader of a community Christian church
Ms. Helen Chen: Global Marketing Strategic Planner and Consultant and an acclaimed columnist/author/public speaker. Awarded as one of the 60 most influential Chinese women by 163.com in the series Made in China in 2009.
Dr. Susan Chilvers: Founder & Educational Director of The New School in Holmdel, NJ since 1970

研讨会时间: 2008 年10 月11 日
星期六, 11:30am - 5:00pm
地点: Ramada Inn,Somerset
60 Cottontail Lane, Somerset, NJ 08873
Conference Agenda
11:30am - 12:00pm: Registration
12:00pm - 12:15pm: Welcome and Conference Opening
12:15pm - 1:45pm: Keynote Speech by Dr. Alice Ginott

their thoughts)
3:30pm - 5:00pm: Panel Discussion with Parents and Experts
The conference will be adjourned at 5:00pm SHARP!
为人父母,我们常常会观察孩子并反问自己:“我的孩子缺少自信吗?”自信是孩子一生受用的礼物,只有对自己深具信心的人,才会对未来充满愿景,满载希望,即使人生里有风有雨,都可以顺利度过。而缺乏自信、不相信自己的孩子,很难享受愉悦的人生,更无力接受挑战。自信的建立是一种必要,对孩子的未来有深远的影响。
如果您是一位关心孩子成长的父母,如果您迫切想培养孩子的自信心,那么,请参加父母子女教育俱乐部和《多维时报》于十月十一日联合举办的第五次年会。在今年的年会上,俱乐部十分荣幸地邀请到著名心理学家
Dr. Alice Ginott (艾丽丝。吉诺特)来为大家解答这个问题。Dr. Alice Ginott
是心理学搏士,临床心理治疗专家,作家,以及演讲者,她更是一位言语交流的专家。
她认为父母的话对子女影响很大。用不同方式跟孩子说话会有不同的效果。父母应用另一套字眼跟子女交谈,那就是爱的语言。如果父母过度的吹毛求疵、侮辱性的评论或嘲
弄孩子,这将损伤父母对亲子间的沟通,对孩子的自尊更是具有破坏性的。这类负面、损伤人
格的抚育方式只会削弱孩子们的自信,它们如标签一样深深的烙在孩子的心里,对孩子自信心
的培养负面影响极大。
Dr. Ginott 和 Dr. H. Wallace Goddard 一起修订了她先夫 Dr. Haim G. Ginott (海姆。吉诺特)
写的父母与孩子沟通方式名著“Between Parent and
Child”《孩子,把你的手给我》。这本自1965年出版以来已售出超过五百万册的父母必读书,
并陆续被翻译成31种语言畅销很多国家。在这次年会上,俱乐部将把这本被誉为彻底改变父母与孩子沟通方式的畅销经典书提供给大家,并由 Dr. Alice Ginott
签名留念。
除了以上主题演讲外,大会还包括俱乐部年会的特色节目:Fishbowl Forum
(青少年实话实说)以及家长专家专题讨论会。欢迎关心子女教育的家长以及祖父母们来聆听专家们的信息。研讨会时间: 2008 年10 月11 日,星期六11:30am

About the Keynote Speaker
 
Dr. Alice Ginott, Ph.D.
Dr. Alice Ginott is a noted
psychologist, psychotherapist, author, and lecturer. Verbal communication is the
focus of her skills. As she states: “We are unaware that words are like knives,
that we need to be skilled in the use of words. Unlike a surgeon who is careful
where he cuts, we use words randomly. We make many incisions until we hit the
right spot, heedless of the open wounds we leave behind. We perform daily
emotional operations but we do it without training. Even people who love each
other and their children lack a language that conveys that love, that mirrors
their delight, that makes the one they love feel loved, respected, and
appreciated.” The purpose of her lectures, workshops and guidance groups with
couples, parents, and teachers is to help them enter the world of another in a
compassionate and caring way.
Dr. Ginott's ideas of
communicating with parents and teachers were disseminated in the King Features
internationally syndicated column “Between Us.” She reflects the enthusiasm,
warmth, and humor found in her many articles, such as “How to Drive Your Child
Sane” and “How to Help Children Mourn,” which strive to revolutionize the way we
talk to one another.
Dr. Ginott received her
B.A. from Indiana University and her M.A. and Ph.D. from the Graduate Faculty of
the New School University in New York. As a former assistant professor of
psychology at Hunter and Queens colleges in New York, and a visiting scholar at
Chatham College in Pittsburgh, she enjoys sharing her ideas with students. She
was a member of the 1970 White House Conference on Children and was invited by
the American University in Cairo, Egypt, to be the keynote speaker at a
symposium for the International Year of the Child, in which Ms. Jihan el Sadat
also participated. She has lectured widely in the United States, Brazil, Africa,
Canada, Europe, India, Hong Kong and Israel. She is also the recipient of the
Eleanor Roosevelt Humanities award.
Dr. Ginott was born in
the former Czechoslovakia, is the mother of two daughters—a physician and a
lawyer—and has two grandchildren.
Reviews of Ginott’s Works
Between Parent & Child
***** (highest rating) in Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health (2003, 2000)
John Gottman, arguably the world’s best researcher on relationships and author of Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, wrote (2003) of the BP&C: “This is the most important book ever written on parenting and the emotional world of children. It is a must that every parent and teacher master the skills taught in these pages. Written by Dr. Haim Ginott, renowned child psychologist-and in my opinion, a true genius--Between Parent and Child goes far beyond telling us how to discipline and control our kids, and explains how to raise children who are not only well behaved, but are also emotionally strong, independent thinkers, and compassionate toward others. Take my advice-buy this book! Read this book! You and your children will be forever grateful."
“The only advice book I read before my twin sons were born…. More than five million copies of the original have been sold since 1965, and I hope at least as many of the new edition will fall into the eager hands of today's parents and grandparents. Dr. Ginott's book taught me something few of us learn in any formal way: how to be an effective parent.”—Jane Brody, The New York Times
"Between Parent and Childis a pioneering guide to emotionally intelligent parenting. I strongly recommend it." — Daniel Goleman, bestselling author of Emotional Intelligence
“This is the most important book ever written on parenting and the emotional world of children. It is a must that every parent and teacher master the skills taught in these pages. Written by Dr. Haim Ginott, renowned child psychologist—and in my opinion, a true genius — Between Parent and Child goes far beyond telling us how to discipline and control our kids, and explains how to raise children who are not only well behaved, but are also emotionally strong, independent thinkers, and compassionate toward others. This newly revised edition is better than ever. Take my advice—buy this book! Read this book! You and your children will be forever grateful.”—Dr. John M. Gottman, author of Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child
“There are very few parenting books that teach discipline that is kind and firm rather than punitive . Between Parent and Child is a glorious book that will help parents reach their ultimate goal — children who grow up with a sense of self-worth as well as valuable social and life skills.” — Jane Nelsen, Ed.D., author of the Positive Discipline series
"This revised edition of the classic Between Parent and Child is a useful and practical guide for parents in improving relationships with their children. Full of specific examples for parents to follow, a close reading of this book will improve the level of respect and cooperation between members of the family. I highly recommend it!" — Carolyn Crowder, Ph.D., coauthor of Backtalk and Whining , and author of Eating, Sleeping, and Getting Up
“ Between Parent and Child is the Bible for raising children. The work still stands as a powerful resource for parents who are determined to be encouragers. Dr. Ginott taught millions to be empathetic parents, and now with this revised edition, millions more will learn the joy of effective parenting." —Dr. Rod Wallace Kennedy, author of The Encouraging Parent
"The revised edition of the groundbreaking Between Parent and Child is even easier to read and understand than the original — parents are given clear techniques and tools that will teach them to be less rigid and judgmental with their children, how to listen to their children with compassion, and most importantly, how to speak with them in the language of caring." —Dr. Ruth Gruber, author of Haven and Inside of Time
“Reading Between Parent and Child was like being gently hugged by a good friend that's been absent for many years. Dr. Haim Ginott's words sparkle with simple and powerful insights about our lives with children. Dr. Alice Ginott and Dr. H. Wallace Goddard have carefully shepherded Between Parent and Child back into the modern world for new generations of parents. It's nice to have a good friend here again.” –Charles A. Smith, Ph.D., editor of The Encyclopedia of Parenting Research and Theory and author of The Peaceful Classroom: 162 Easy Activities to Teach Preschoolers Compassion and Cooperation

 | Conference: The Summary of the 4th Annual Conference |

Co-organized by PCE Club and Duowei.
PCE
and Duowei successfully organized the 4th annual conference on
September 8, 2007, (Saturday afternoon) at Clarion Hotel, Edison, NJ.
The
conference’s theme is “leveraging the strength of diversity: cultural adaptation
and mental growth of immigrant children”. PCE invited Professor Yiping Wang to
present the keynote speech “Becoming American: Maintaining Strong Asian
Identity For the 21st Century Global Society”. Professor Wang is the
professor of Rutgers University and her research focuses on the early childhood
education. During the keynote speech, professor Wang discussed two dimensions of
psychological adjustments: ethnic recognition and acculturation. Regarding the
components of self recognition, professor Wang explained the different functions
of Ethnic component, Cognitive component, and Behavioral component. She also
brought out various solutions for children to handle psychological problems when
they face cultural conflicts and racial prejudice. At the end of the speech
Professor Wang discussed parental challenges, coping skills to prejudice, and
the impact of self affirmation and self esteem towards the healthy development
of immigrant children.
During the second session, Bonnie Liao and Linda Fu co-moderated the fishbowl
discussion. PCE invited three teenagers: Wendy Wang, Convey Yao and Tom Wang to
share their personal experience and stories. The open discussion of this session
made the audience get a clear picture about children’s introspective thoughts.
Bonnie concluded that the appropriate communication between parents and children
is very important to help children adjust the attitude and reestablish the
self-confidence when they are confronted with cultural conflicts,
misunderstanding, and racial prejudice.
The
last but not the least important session: Panel discussion, moderated by Yin
Long, was composed of seven panelists: Dr. Aijuan Wang, Attorney Raymond Wong,
Ms. Yuping Wang, Professor Yiping Wang, Linda Fu, Bonnie Liao, and Sunny Wang.
They used their personal and working experience as examples to explore the
effective ways to educate parents and children on how to positively face the
cultural conflicts, injustice, failure, and prejudice.
PCE
Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the keynote speaker,
panelists, moderators and sponsors.
父母亲子女教育俱乐部成功举办第四届教育研讨年会
2007年9月8日下午在Clarion
Hotel 举办的父母亲子女教育俱乐部(PCE Club)第四届年会针对前不久在VirgiTech发生的校园惨案,对亚裔族家庭子女心理教育问题进行了热烈的讨论
。整个会议从下午1:15开始,首先邀请Rutgers大学教授Yiping
Wang 进行一个半小时的主题演讲,主题为:
Becoming American: Maintaining Strong Asian Identity for the 21st Century Global
Society。王教授讲述了在21世纪全球化社会中,亚裔对不同文化的适应以及对自我意识的调整。她阐述了自我肯定和自信心对心理健康的重要性,她也提到心理调整的三大因素:族裔特征,认知特征以及行为特征等。王教授的演讲结合了生动实例和具体理论,让在场的听众受益匪浅,学到不少帮助子女建立健康心理的方法。在演讲的Q&A部分,新州著名作家红墙向王教授以及所有听众提出了“什么是心理健康的定义?”这个有挑战性的问题,给在场的听众留下思考的空间。
在年会的第二部分,廖冰女士和Linda
Fu共同主持了“实话实说”。这是一个由青少年自己来阐述自我认识和个人经历的节目,
Linda Fu, Wendy Wang, Convey Yao and Tom Wang四位teenagers讨论了作为华裔第二代子女在面对文化冲突,种族偏见的负面问题上的自我经历及应对方式。在讨论中,Linda和大家谈到她在上高中时期因面对文化冲突而造成的心理迷惑,以及到大学时期通过和父母诚恳的沟通,最终找到健康心态的调整方法。大家都认同子女和父母之间合理的沟通对培养孩子健康心理是至关重要的。在场的家长们也踊跃提问,听到了孩子们自己的真实想法。
年会的第三部分是由七位来自不同行业的专家来讨论:如何利用多元化文化的优势培养正确的自我认知和健康心理。Panel Discussion由龙吟主持,邀请包括黄晓夫律师、王爱娟医生、廖冰女士、王益平教授、Yuping
Wang女士、Linda Fu、以及红墙在内的Panelists同在场父母子女分享他们在自己行业里遇到的子女心理教育的问题,并阐述他们对这个话题的心得。
黄律师以自己从业几十年的经历告诉大家,如果子女在学校遇到不公正的对待,应该依循正常的法律途径为自己争取权益。许多华裔父母抱着大事化小,小事化无的态度,在面对学校不公正对待的时候,因不愿“把事情搞大”而咽下委屈,让孩子在心理成长过程中蒙上阴影。黄律师在会上呼吁华裔父母要了解自己应得的权利,保护自己的孩子,让他们能健康成长,培养健康的社会责任感和道德观。王医生则用她在行医过程中的经历告诉大家如何和孩子进行有效的沟通,在不同年龄段选择不同的技巧和方式。其他的专家也从不同角度阐述了他们在帮助子女培养情商方面的经验和理论知识。
在年会举行过程中,多维时报主编Linda
Niu为本次征文获奖者颁发了Certificate of
award。商乐维获得成人组一等奖,Wendy Wang获得少年组征文的大奖。
在会议的最后,PCE现任主席Cindy
Yu正式把接力棒交给了Yingting Zhang。任命她为2007-2008年的PCE主席。Cindy回顾了过去几年PCE的活动,并感谢会员的一贯支持。而Yingting也简要介绍协会未来一年的活动,并介绍了目前协会的理事成员和志愿工作人员,她鼓励大家踊跃参加协会未来的活动,介绍更多朋友加入到协会中来,共同学习和分享教育子女的经验和教训。
大会结束后,PCE
officers和嘉宾们一同到新泽西中部的虹城餐馆庆祝年会的成功举办。
PCE借此机会再次感谢热心支持和参与本次活动的会员,志愿工作者,以及赞助商。
