Children & Family Day
Growing kindness through family connection
Tzu Chi Children & Family Day
The Tzu Chi Children & Family Day is designed for children aged 4 to 12, with the aim of helping them learn good life habits and character values from an early age. Through meaningful parent–child interaction, it also strengthens close family bonds.
Held once a year, the event features a blend of active and quiet activities. Through drama, music, games, and hands-on crafts, children are guided to learn important values such as “contentment, gratitude, understanding, and acceptance,” in line with Tzu Chi’s humanistic culture.
By taking part in hands-on giving activities, children also come to realise that they are capable of contributing in small but meaningful ways to their families and the wider community. As the saying goes, “It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to nurture people.” The annual Tzu Chi Children & Family Day in Brisbane aspires to be a gentle stream that nourishes and supports the growth of these young seedlings.
