5/15 Kid Power Conference: What is self-care?

Last Friday is our last kids Power conference of the series: Mapping out the pandemic.  This is our masterpiece by 15 kids.  We discussed many topics and we recorded their views, ideas and opinions.  Then we related the topics together and here we created this map! It was extraordinary!

Last Friday, we concluded the series with a big topic, Self care!  Our debate was: Is self-care our responsibility or we are being selfish?

Many kids are very caring, they put others first.  Some said we need to make ourselves happy and love ourselves.  This way we will know how to care others.  The most important thing to practise in the pandemic is doing social responsibilities which also mean stay healthy and safe as long as we can.

We watched three video clips.  All of them told us the importance of takeing care of ourselves.  When we know how to take care of ourselves and make ourselves happy, our self- esteem will go higher and have the confidence to present ourselves.

We will post our last conference video clips for your review soon!
And here are the three reference clips for your review:

Members opinions about 5/8 conference topic: What is Covid-19?

Our new member, Yuki from Japan, 8 years old boy, shared with us about his understanding of Covid19.

“I did some research on Covid19. It is a virus and we will get sick. To me Covid19 is good and bad. The good thing is we got to stay at home and do things I like. Bad things are I cannot play baseball and the Olympic is cancelled. And I cannot visit my grandpa. But I play soccer with my Dad and he gave me lots of homework.”

Our member from Toronto, Meikai, 7 year old, shared with us about her opinions on Covid 19,

“It is a disease which can make people very sick. Because of the bats have the virus and the virus goes to pangolins then people eat them then we got sick. 1 person got it then will give to 3 people, then will give to 9 people then to 27 and keep on multiplying... so we should stay home because we need to stop the virus spreading to more people.”

This is Tiffany, 7 years old. She is also our Kids Power Reporter. She shared with us about Covid19 and what precautions we shall take,

“Covid19 is a disease where people will get sick like having a fever, coughing, difficulty breathing and may cause to pneumonia. More old people are easily infected like out grandparents. So we need to be very careful, watch our hands and stay home, use zoom or wechat to stay connected.”

Alia, 9 years old, our Spokelady shared with us about being a warrior instead of a worrier in this pandemic.

“We have many questions about this Covid19 because it makes people very sick and some even died. We kept on asking when will this be over or when we will have the vaccine. These worries make us scare, but we should be calm and positive because we can get through this. We just need to be more careful, do all the precautions and keep away from getting sick. And put a mask on to buy grocery to protect us and others. We stay home to stay safe and healthy and not to worry. This breaks the chain of spreading the virus. We will be out of this very soon!”

Our Ambassador, Ryder, 6 years old shared with us about a scientist’s view of Covid19,

“The Covid19 is a coronavirus with protein wrapped the genetic materials which will then infected our good cells. The strength of it is it can copy itself and produce more of itself. The weakness of it is soap and water can kill it.”

Our member from Hong Kong, Rachel, 8 years old shared with us about Covid19 in first person point of view,

“What is Covid19? I am a disease first emerged in China in Dec 2019. I am a devil that I can infect many people and make people sick. The symptoms are coughing, having fever, muscle pain, headache, soar throat, lost of smell, diarrhea and lead to death. There is no vaccine or cure to kill me. The only things that you can do is to wash your hands and stay at home.”

Abby, 6 years old share with us about Covid 19,

“The coronavirus is tiny germs that you cannot see it. It is a big ball of germs with many spikes around it. If you touch them then scratch your head, you will get sick. No doctors or nurses can fix this now.”

6 years old Anthony shared with us about his opinions on Covid19,

“Covid19 is a virus from bat or other animals. You need to eat healthy, wash your hands and do social distancing. Rubbing alcohol can kill the virus. You may die if you get it but the chance is low. I am not scare because it is just like catching a flu.”

5 years old Cara said about Covid19,

“We just need to stay home. The coronavirus will not infect us. My mom protected me from it. The Earth is the master, we are not. We make the Earth sick.”

7 years old Darel talked about Covid 19,

“It is a virus and a ball of germs with many crowns on it. It is very dangerous that it can kill you. You need to wash your hands and stay inside.”

Damon, 8 years old, shared with us about his opinions on Covid19,
“I think it is a red ball of germs that can harm people and animals too. There were 6 tigers and 6 lions got the disease. People are anxious about it because there is no cure. We need to stay home and do social distancing.”

3rd online conference: What is covid19?

Time flies! Last Friday was our third Kids Power Conference and we discussed the topic,

“IS THIS PANDEMIC AN OPPORTUNITY OR A CRISIS TO US?”
It was a very interesting topic to debate and to express their opinions.
Each kids prepared their 1 min speech on Covid19 according to their own understanding.  This gave them enough warm up before starting the conference.  It was so amazing to listen to their opinions on opportunities and crisis.
We will post their work later on here.
And we have a new member joining us in last conference giving his view from Japan!

Welcome to Yuki san! A 8-years-old boy lives in Tokyo.  Thank you for your sharing!

Opinions from 10 years old member: Justin Ye

Who are we, human?
This is his opinion.
written by Justin Ye, 10 years old.

We evolved from one of the first life forms on the planet. We, Homo Sapiens evolved from a fish. Studies have proven, time and again, us human beings evolved from fish. No one knows how fish turned into something else that slowly led up to the creation of the genus Homo. Soon after, all species of the genus homo went extinct except for the current one, what you are. Homo Sapiens.

      The moment we humans set foot on this world, it instantly changed. We developed tools, we created a full on language, and formed communities. Slowly, we made advances in technology. Wood to stone. Rags to clothes. Nomads to villages. And these are just a few. But in the process, we have destroyed others to make our rises to sophistication. Entire forests have been eradicated. Animals have been driven to extremes. The ground has been carved hollow.

      So many think that nature shall punish us for being foolish. And it has. The world has sent upon Covid-19 to punish us. To force us into hiding. Nature is letting the planet recover by keeping us away. The planet does not need us. It actually does better without humans. Animals have space to recover natural instincts. The land wishes us to remember, we are here because of the planet. We must treat the planet like how we treat our home. Covid-19 has made us remember. We are not the best. Nature will always win.

      Some estimates say that the planet will run out of resources by about 2050. Other more conservative estimates say in about 100 years. Either way, the Earth is losing resources fast. Covid-19 is trying to get us to find different ways to conserve resources. Our current consumption rate is so high, it needs to retreat to when it was during the great compression. We need to stop the resource vacuum that is humanity.

      People are beginning to realize that some of Earth’s natural resources are beginning to drain, and fast. But globally, the huge problem that is lack of natural resources still is mostly ignored. Imagine this. Climate change, resource consumption, covid 19 are all lined up in front of the world's news camera. The camera takes a photo of covid-19, climate change, but skips resource consumption. That is what is going on with the planet right now.

      In conclusion,We need to stop this. We need to remember that this is our home, and if we destroy it, we will be homeless. Take consideration of this.
