還記得大學時代看過一套很駭人的電視，這是關於類似伊波拉病毒如何在某一個地區傳染居民和外來人，並引致所有人死亡。劇中被感染的人，就算是初期，都必然有紅疹在身體出現。所以，不少人印象很深，疹就是代表嚴重的疾病。
其實這只說對一半，紅疹是一種病徵，可以是皮膚的毛病，或是全身性疾病的一個反應。皮膚疾病可以單純的皮膚敏感、蚊叮蟲咬、風癱、曬傷等。全身性的反應可以是藥物敏感、感染性、自體免疫力毛病等。之前所謂「一半是正確」，就是在全身性的反應中，有些較嚴重，有些是較輕微。
嚴重的例子是：
那麼「另一半」不是嚴重的疹是甚麼呢？
所以，出疹並不一定要有大問題。但是，若果出疹時，同時出現發燒、全身性的病徵、精神狀態不佳時，這就代表最好早點找醫生看看會較好。

I remember watching a terrifying TV show during my college days. It was about how a virus similar to Ebola spread among residents and outsiders in a certain area, leading to everyone’s death. In the drama, people infected with the virus would inevitably develop red rashes on their bodies even in the early stages. Therefore, many people have a deep impression that rashes represent serious diseases.
In fact, this is only half true. A rash is a symptom that can be a skin problem or a reaction to a systemic disease. Skin diseases can be simple skin sensitivities, mosquito bites, shingles, sunburns, etc. Systemic reactions can be due to drug sensitivities, infections, autoimmune disorders, etc. The previous statement “half true” means that among systemic reactions, some are more severe, while others are milder.
Severe examples include:
1. Drug Sensitivity: Since a rash is only a sign, the reaction can be very severe. Therefore, if this is the case, we generally handle and observe with extra caution.
2. Infectious (Acute): For example, measles, chickenpox, hand, foot, and mouth disease, German measles, mumps, etc. These diseases are highly contagious and also present with fever symptoms. So, in addition to worrying about the complications of the disease, we also worry about it spreading to others. Therefore, special care is needed.
3. Autoimmune Diseases: For example, lupus erythematosus, allergic purpura, etc. Since these conditions can have more systemic complications, the treatment goal is not to treat the rash but to address the underlying disease.
So what are the “other half” of rashes that are not serious?
1. Roseola: This is a type of rash ‘exclusive’ to young children. It is definitely a reaction after being infected with a certain filtrable virus. Whenever this rash appears, the fever has already completely subsided, which also indicates that the condition has stabilized. Generally, these rashes appear on the torso and then spread to the limbs and face. Since they are not itchy or painful, there is no need for special treatment.
2. Heat Rash (Prickly Heat): This is the result of blocked sweat glands. It is mostly caused by the environment being too hot or wearing too many clothes. Although there may be a little itching, it is not as uncomfortable as eczema, so it is not a serious problem. On the other hand, as long as the temperature of the affected area is lowered, the condition will improve.
3. Infant Eczema: Although infant eczema can be very itchy, it is time-limited. It generally starts from one month after birth and lasts until about six months. Moreover, it responds well to medication (such as medium-strength steroid creams). So, basically, as long as parents are willing to deal with it positively and follow the doctor’s treatment, there will be a good response.
Therefore, having a rash does not necessarily mean there is a big problem. However, if a rash occurs at the same time as fever, systemic symptoms, or poor mental state, it means it would be better to see a doctor sooner rather than later.

許多家長都會問全人教育是甚麼？如果從中國人幾千年源遠流長的智慧來說，便是培育孩子的「德、智、體、群、美」；從心理學家的角度來說便是培養孩子的多元智能(Multiple Intelligence)；從教育的角度來說，便是除了知識上的追求外，我們也得培養孩子的價值觀、態度、對藝術和文化的修為、待人處事、解決困難和思考能力等。再簡單一點，從凡夫俗子的角度來說，全人教育便是讓小朋友「瓣瓣掂」，成績好、朋友多、思想正面，音樂運動美術樣樣皆能，您想子女得到全人發展嗎？
多元智能分七類 先天後天培育各佔半
今天先介紹坊間常說的多元智能，從心理學的角度探討全人教育。「多元智能」理論由美國哈佛大學卡納德教授於 1983 年所提出，他發現智能至少可分為七種，分別是語言智能、數學邏輯智能、視覺空間智能、音樂智能、肢體運動智能、人際溝通智能及個人內省智能。
談到「智能」，家長會聯想到天才或者是天賦的才能。究竟智能是天生的，還是經後天培育呢？其實一個人的智能，天生佔一部分，後天也佔一部分，每個孩子天生的智能都有一個範圍，譬如說IQ100-120，哪麼無論您做甚麼，給他多少刺激，他的IQ都不可能高於120，他怎麼也不可能如愛因斯坦般聰明。哪麼，我們還需要培養孩子的多元智能嗎？當然要吧！因為孩子的IQ停留在100，還是發揮到120，便要靠後天的栽培了！
每項智能同樣重要
那該怎樣培育呢？做練習？上課？出外見識？做運動聽音樂？其實各種不同的智能都有不同的栽培方法。學者之所以提出多元智能，是要提醒大家，當父母都想孩子成績好，對孩子的學科，例如中英數加以栽培的時候，千萬別忘了其他的智能對孩子同樣重要，尤其是人際溝通技能及個人內省智能。要是缺乏其中一項，孩子又怎樣在社會上生存呢？因此當我們為孩子挑選課程時，千萬別只選學科班、語言班或認字班，我們應該停一停、想一想，除了成績以外，孩子在哪個範疇還有不足的地方？孩子與人的溝通能力怎樣？分析能力怎樣？個人內省能力怎樣？如果孩子的溝通能力不好，家長是否應該挑選一些讓孩子與人有足夠空間溝通的課程如戲劇班，讓他多一點表達自己呢？
記得筆者今天所講「多元智能」背後的意義，停一停、想一想，孩子學術以外其他方面的發展吧！

Many parents ask what holistic education is. From the perspective of the wisdom of the Chinese people that has been passed down for thousands of years, it is the cultivation of a child’s “morality, intelligence, physical fitness, social skills, and aesthetics”; from the perspective of psychologists, it is the cultivation of a child’s multiple intelligences; from the perspective of education, it is not only the pursuit of knowledge, but also the cultivation of a child’s values, attitudes, artistic and cultural accomplishments, interpersonal skills, problem-solving, and thinking abilities. To put it more simply, from the perspective of ordinary people, holistic education is about making sure the child is well-rounded, with good grades, many friends, positive thoughts, and capable in music, sports, and art. Do you want your child to achieve holistic development?
Multiple intelligences are divided into seven categories, with innate and acquired factors each playing a role.
Today, let’s introduce the commonly mentioned multiple intelligences from the perspective of psychology. The “Theory of Multiple Intelligences” was proposed by Professor Howard Gardner of Harvard University in 1983. He found that intelligence can be divided into at least seven types, which are linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical intelligence, spatial-visual intelligence, musical intelligence, bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence.
When it comes to “intelligence,” parents might think of genius or innate talent. Is intelligence innate, or is it nurtured? In fact, a person’s intelligence is partly innate and partly nurtured. Every child’s innate intelligence has a range, for example, an IQ of 100-120. No matter what you do or how much stimulation you provide, their IQ will not exceed 120, and they cannot become as smart as Einstein. So, do we still need to cultivate children’s multiple intelligences? Of course! Whether a child’s IQ stays at 100 or reaches 120 depends on how they are nurtured later on!
Each type of intelligence is equally important.
So, how should they be nurtured? Through practice? Classes? Experiencing the world? Sports and music? In fact, different types of intelligence require different nurturing methods. Scholars propose the theory of multiple intelligences to remind everyone that while parents want their children to achieve good grades and cultivate their academic subjects, such as Chinese, English, and Mathematics, they should not forget that other intelligences are equally important to the child, especially interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences. If a child lacks in one of these areas, how can they survive in society? Therefore, when selecting courses for children, do not just choose academic, language, or literacy classes. We should pause and think, besides academic performance, in what areas does the child need improvement? How are the child’s communication skills? Analytical skills? Introspective skills? If a child’s communication skills are lacking, should parents choose courses that provide ample space for interaction, such as drama classes, to help them express themselves more?
Remember the significance behind “multiple intelligences” discussed today. Pause and think about the development of your child beyond academics!

The family is the first environment a child comes into contact with after birth and is the earliest influencer of a child’s personality. The personality traits, parenting concepts, and methods of each parent play a decisive role in the healthy growth of their children. How can parents help children understand the relationship between money and their own growth?
The West advocates “No matter how rich, do not spoil the child”
In this regard, the approach of Western parents is quite worth learning from for Chinese parents. It is fundamentally different from the Chinese parenting philosophy of “No matter how poor, do not deprive the child,” as Westerners advocate “No matter how rich, do not spoil the child.” They have long realized that allowing children to have an innate sense of financial superiority is harmful to their growth and brings no benefits. Even in very wealthy families, parents usually give their children very little pocket money and encourage them to work for their own money. This helps children understand that obtaining money is not easy and that valuable wealth must be accumulated through one’s efforts. This process teaches children something far more valuable than wealth itself. Of course, I am not encouraging children to give up their studies to work, but rather to understand from a young age the basic concept that labor can create wealth.
Case Sharing: Son Sells Small Crafts to Help Support the Family
Two years ago, I heard a true story from mainland China. Zhi Man’s parents were ordinary workers who, like other parents, hoped their child would succeed, attend university, and thus worked overtime every day. Unexpectedly, when Zhi Man was ten, his father had an industrial accident while working a night shift, resulting in blindness in his left eye and a broken left leg, rendering him unable to work again. Consequently, his mother fell ill. At that time, Zhi Man realized that he was the only one who could fully take on the family’s responsibilities. He resolutely borrowed 50 yuan from a classmate and went to the wholesale market after school to sell small crafts. What was usually taken for granted became incredibly difficult when it was his turn. From having no business on the first day to earning 80 yuan a month later. He spent 35 yuan on a cane for his father and 23 yuan on a book he had longed for, which he couldn’t put down. Seeing this, his father’s lips trembled non-stop, and tears flowed from his eyes. Since then, he has supported himself through his studies, earned respect through his own labor, and made his father proud. Teachers and classmates admired him, and eventually, he became a well-known doctor in the area!
Not Relying on Material Wealth, Creating Wealth with One’s Own Hands
Most children today are only children and have been spoiled by their parents. For them to grow up healthy, we should cultivate their ability to adapt to various environments and the spirit of hard work from a young age. We should not overly indulge them materially but let them understand that wealth created with their own hands is truly their own!

家庭是孩子出生後最先接觸的環境，也是影響孩子性格最早的地方。每個父母的個性特點、教養觀念及方式，對兒女的健康成長起着決定性的作用。父母如何讓孩子理解金錢與自己成長的關係呢？
西方崇尚「再富不能富孩子」
在這一點上，西方父母的做法頗值得中國父母借鑒，當中與我們中國人教子所說的「再窮不能窮孩子」截然不同，西方人崇尚的是「再富不能富孩子」。他們很早意識到讓孩子擁有一種天生的金錢優越感，對孩子的成長是百害而無一利的。即使很富有的家庭，父母通常也只給孩子很少的零用錢，並鼓勵孩子自己去打工賺錢，從而讓孩子明白要獲得金錢並不是輕而易舉的，有價值的財富是要靠自身的努力去積累，這個過程給孩子學到的東西遠比財富本身更有價值。當然筆者不是鼓勵小朋友放棄學業去找工作，而是讓他們從小明白勞動才能創造財富的基本概念。
個案分享︰兒子賣小工藝品 幫補家計
兩年前，筆者曾經聽過一個發生於中國內地的真人真事，志滿的父母都是普通的工人，與其他父母一樣，他們希望孩子將來成才，考上大學，於是每天努力加班工作。豈料十歲那年，爸爸在加夜班時發生工業意外，左眼失明，左腳也斷了，以後再無法工作，媽媽因此而病倒了。那時候，志滿明白現在只有他一人可以全力擔起家庭的責任，他毅然向同學借來 50 元，放學後走到批發市場賣小工藝品，沒想到平時司空見慣的事情，今天輪到自己身上，竟然變得那麼艱難。從第一天沒有生意，直到一個月後，他才賺到 80 元。他用了 35 元買了一枝柺杖送給爸爸，又用了 23 元買一本嚮往已久的圖書，手不釋卷。爸爸看見了，只見他的嘴角不停地顫抖，眼角流出淚來。從此，他自食其力完成了學業，並用自己的勞力贏得了別人的尊重，爸爸也感到驕傲，老師和同學們對他都很欽佩，終於他成為當地有名的醫師了﹗
不依賴物質 應用雙手創造財富
現在的孩子大多數是獨生子女，已經給父母寵壞了。為了他們能健康成長，我們應該從小培養孩子適應各種環境的能力及勤勞奮鬥的精神，不要在物質上過分縱容，要讓他們明白靠自己的雙手去創造財富才是屬於自己的財富呢﹗
