Dear Child, How Are You?

Principal Audrey of Hilltop, a kindergarten in Kuala Lumpur, shares the concept of Waldorf education and the extended teaching model that aims to inspire each child`s unique capacities, providing them a space to be creative and have fun - and letting children enjoy exploring with nature, freestyle and non-instructional play through their learning processes.

Teachers and parents play important roles in children educational processes. The documentary explores and features the perspective from three different education systems and a career-oriented mother, and the different insights to education philosophies. Parents and educators need to find a balance and educate the next generation in a better way.

The documentary takes us on a journey to Sinje`s hometown of Alor Setar where she grew up with a strong sense of freedom in nature that shaped her into a fearless and positive person. Sinje reflects on the importance of childhood freedom and how it impacts character and outlook on life. Sinje shares her experiences of living fearlessly and embracing her passions as a modern working mother of three. Through her story, we explore the joys and challenges of motherhood, finding the balance between career and family, and prioritising self-care.

"Homeschooling" was originally popular in the United States and other Western countries as a way for parents to manage their children`s education at home.
