The program aims to promote physical and moral health of children and help them to receive a fair education of good quality by popularizing intelligent education.

Scientific parenting concepts and practical skills will be introduced through various activities, including parenting classes, forums and lectures, and Internet+, all of which help to promote comprehensive improvement of children’s physical health, IQ and EQ.

Jin Xing, a COSDF council member, said that the program should give full play to its membership to better serve children.

Mei Jian, director of the Research Committee on Psychological Standards and Services of the Chinese Psychological Society, noted that the program has gained a lot of support from domestic and overseas parental and child experts. The Committee is very willing to provide relevant technical support and guidance for this work and strives to generalize intelligent education.

Christina Smillie, a pediatrician graduate of the University of California, Davis, said that she supports such public welfare projects and is willing to contribute her decades of experience in the field to help promote the exchange of experience in childhood education between China and the US.
