The Tzu Chi Humanistic Medicine Association in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, arranged a series of "Health in School" workshops for students and parents at SJK (C) Kulai, Kulai District. The activities were divided into three groups: Children and teenagers learned about personal hygiene, balanced diets, and disease prevention through a health quiz; older students explored interpersonal relationships during adolescence; and parents focused on issues such as internet addiction and school bullying. Through age-appropriate design, the workshops guided children to understand health in everyday life and helped parents understand the importance of spending time with their children. "See those white things? These little dots, what are they? They're bacteria on your hands. Okay, now you need to wash your hands." Through medical equipment, the children "saw" the bacteria on their hands for the first time, realizing how many small details are hidden in places they couldn't see. Shinai Primary School Tzu Chi Kindergarten's Chang Hsin-yu: "They taught us how to wash our hands and whether there are germs on them. I want to protect my health." Shinai Primary School Tzu Chi Kindergarten's Yeh Chun-yi: "Washing our hands frequently every day can disinfect bacteria and prevent us from ingesting them." Moving to the next stop, the children learned about balanced nutrition through the Healthy Plate program, ensuring that nutritional concepts are not just charts in textbooks. Tzu Chi Youth, Youmei School, Li Yongtao: "Before that, I didn't know how to eat properly. The doctor taught me the amount of protein and vegetables I should consume daily." Tzu Chi Kyu, Kulai School: "Our nutrition needs to be balanced. We can't eat too much fried food, which can lead to obesity. We don't want to get injured or sick, otherwise our parents will worry." Nutritionist Chen Baoling: "We've also found that many overweight children don't like to eat vegetables. So, we need to put some effort into getting children to enjoy eating vegetables. Children's eating habits come from their parents, so we need to change the whole family's eating habits. After changing them, perhaps we can help them prevent many chronic diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers related to our diet." "Can I only play on my phone for twenty or thirty minutes a day? (Yes)." Regarding internet addiction, rather than simply banning it, it's more important to understand the virtual world children are exposed to. Psychological counselor Wang Meiling: "Mobile phones, computers, 3C products, tablets—these are all things we encounter in our daily lives. We need to use them wisely; they are meant to provide convenience, not to make us slaves to these 3C products. I hope parents understand what their children are doing with their phones, because you never know what the world of mobile phones and the internet will push on you." On the other hand, from emotion recognition to interpersonal boundaries, guiding teenagers to learn how to express their emotions. Psychological counselor Zheng Huishan: "Today's teenagers, perhaps because of the development of the internet, have become less communicative with others. They don't really understand the 'boundaries' of communication. So I teach them something called 'I Messages,' which is about expressing themselves, stating facts, expressing their feelings, and finally expressing their expectations. If they use this more often, it can improve their communication and interpersonal relationships." "What impressed me most was the importance of boundaries in communication. It's about minimizing friction during communication, protecting one's health, and avoiding unnecessary harm." Shinai School Parent Liu Sirui: "We want them to distinguish between love, responsibility, and liking. Children need to be able to make their own choices and discern these differences. It's all about love, respect, and gratitude. This helps them grow healthily, learn to distinguish between good and evil, and understand how to protect themselves." Behind the successful event was the continuous collaboration and dialogue between different teams. General Coordinator Dr. Lu Zhongping: "Of all the events I've organized, I think this one is the most complex. On one hand, we had to prepare for the event, and on the other hand, we had to find a way to establish an interactive model that everyone felt comfortable with. Although there was a period of adjustment, overall, I think the bridges between our teams have been built." Kulai Tzu Chi Humanities Principal Li Lixiang: "Our joint organization was with the Tzu Chi Medical Association and the Education Department. I feel that everyone's small contributions made this event very successful. I think the entire event was very beneficial to the children of our Humanities School." "Health Enters the Campus" is not just about physical care, but also about companionship and understanding, allowing care...
