editor’s Letter
who’s in charge?
As we enter our ninth month of school closures in the physical sense, we catch up with teachers, parents, kids, counsellors and tech experts to find out how our community is adapting to the online education model. Take a look at the future of education in Hong Kong (page 20) from the individual perspectives of those on the ground - spoiler alert the kids miss the teachers, the teachers miss the kids and the parents are exhausted. After months cooped up inside, there is a resounding need to let off steam. Hong Kong fitness experts share home workouts for kids (page 15) and Selina Kong of The Big Things spills some family-friendly dishes (page 25). Autumn is waiting in the wings. See you next month.

Nappy Change Clutch
This is by far the best product I’ve come across since becoming a mum. In 2019, Hong Kong expat mums Jess and Julie created this super stylish vegan leather nappy change clutch after seeing a gap in the market for something practical and stylish. benandelliebaby.com
