Every child is unique, with their own traits and personalities. Some are loud and some are more reflective. Discovering who your child is can be a wonderful journey and may help you find yourself as well. If you find yourself searching for unique experiences or activities for a child that may be more introverted, here at Little Steps we have compiled a list of suggestions of what is available right now in Hong Kong. Don’t forget that every child is different and there is no one correct answer or personality for the ideal child and that not everyone will enjoy an activity in the same way. Social activities are a fantastic way for a child to bond with like-minded enthusiasts and the more solo activities are perfect for when they would like some more quiet time.
