... psychosocial security.
20:34
So when someone being heard, being listened, being cared, actually can, they can feel a deep security in their heart, then they can be flourished.
20:47
So, um, in Hong Kong many peop- many children are not lacking food, are not, uh, clothes, not lacking clothes, not lacking of schooling.
20:57
But the deeper question is do they feel safe? Do they feel valued? Do they feel being listened to or being understood? So that feeling is not a luxury, but it is a fundamental of healthy development.
21:15
So, um, so I would say, um, one major threat, um, in Hong Kong I would say is the pressure of daily life, okay? Because, uh, bec- as I just mentioned about, because of the long working hours of the parents, high housing costs, academic competition, caregi- caregiver stress, these pressures can weaken the emotional connection between adults and children, between parents and children, between neighborhoods and the children.
21:50
So, um, maybe for example, a child may go to school every day, okay, they attend tutorial lessons, come home, come back to a small flat, and be surrounded by adults who are all busy, okay, tired, and stressed.
