Real change in education and parenting begins with a shift in thinking—not just a change in setting

In traditional education, children are often overwhelmed by demanding learning activities and tightly packed schedules. But have we noticed that parents are just as stressed—constantly paying monthly tuition fees for endless classes, programs, and expectations?
And what happens when that stress builds up?
Tiger mums, helicopter mums, angry mums—each trying to hold it all together, yet unintentionally turning a once peaceful home into a daily battlefield.
If you’ve already broken free from the rigid schooling and societal system, why still cling to the mindset that created it.
Homeschool parents, I’m doing my best to build a sustainable and free ecosystem—for both homeschool and out-of-school families. Not for recognition, but to empower you. To help you find what I call the equilibrium point of Hong Kong Educational Pendulum—the balance I discovered while homeschooling my daughter, Paris. A point where a child can grow with freedom, yet still meet societal expectations, including university admission, without losing joy and family happiness along the way.
“Breaking free from a fixed mindset is the first step toward true leadership in Hong Kong homeschooling.” - Dr Lai Mei Kei Vivien
