I knew Leo from his high school years at Mosman High School in the 90s.

Now a dad with 3 boys aged 14, 12 and 10 he works extensively with boys at school as teacher and pastor.

Leo’s advice:

When you pick the school for kids, pick the principal.

Know your kids' friends and engineer your kids to the right friends.

Learn to understand your own emotion is the best you can do as a parent.

Don’t be your kids’ friend. Never be the cool dad. You need to be a dad.

Do not overestimate what you can do in a year but at the same time do not underestimate what you can do in 10 years.

We tackle issues on bullying, depression, substances abused and parenting.

It’s very inspiring to hear from the perspective and advice from a cool Pastor Leo Chen.

Ilhea Yen is the Headteacher of Canterbury Girls High School. A mother of two age 16 and 13, she shared with us her perspective and advice to parents and the kids. “There is no perfect parenting. Lets give up on that idea. Full stop.” she said.

 

It’s fascinating to hear about her teaching stories, ways of dealing with kids phone addiction and pocket money strategy.

 

Ms Yen has a YouTube channel that she talks to kids regularly about dealing with issues in life.

I still remembered very clearly how Ben told me HSC is the most important thing in life that he MUST DO WELL.

A hard-working boy, he got into exactly the course he wanted to do in UBC and started a new life in Vancouver.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. We happily chatted about his quarantine life in Canada, first time trip to Taiwan to find his quarter root, his hobbies and plans and most important of all, his advice to year 12 kids.

Not long ago these kids were young and I constantly asked them "DARLING are you LISTENING or WHAT DID I JUST SAY???"  Now they suddenly talk like my friends and strangely sounding so wise.

My first job was at the Montessori School Forestville as a part-time Japanese teacher while studying Master of Music.

Victoria and her brother Nicholas were very diligent kids in my Japanese class. Victoria always loves to draw and Nicholas wants to be a pilot. 

20 years later they are doing exactly what they want to do.

 

High energy conversation with Victoria about growing up, Life in London, Choices, good old times and the future!!

 

(PS: And Nicholas just got married! Oh, Massive big congratulations! I am so proud of you.)

I remember Lizzie always wants to be a model when she was young. (She used to teach me how to catwalk in our lesson!)

 

How did it all start? What’s model’s life really is like. What her advice to young girls who want to pursue the same path.

 

Conversation with Miss Lizzie Mawson on her fascinating modelling journey. As her good old teacher, Lizzie is forever the same cute little girl to me.
