Xiaodoumiao Parenting Seminar in Shenzhen Draws Nearly 1,000 Parents to Learn Intergenerational Parenting Insights from Renowned Pediatrician Dr. Zhang Sihlai

Nearly 1,000 Parents Fill Classroom to Hear Professor Zhang Silai Share Grandparenting Tips

VCBeat (WeChat: vcbeat) has learned that the Shenzhen session of the Xiao Dou Miao Parenting Lecture Series was successfully held at the JW Marriott Hotel Shenzhen Futian on November 3. More than 900 families attended the event that afternoon, resulting in a packed venue and lively Q&A interactions. The event also featured dedicated exhibition zones on various scientific parenting topics, including complementary feeding for infants, oral health care, and vaccine education. The professional content and diverse interactive formats received unanimous praise and recognition from parents.

Professor Zhang Silai, renowned pediatric expert and expert of the China National Working Committee for the Care of the Next Generation

The Shenzhen session of the Parenting Lecture Series specially invited Professor Zhang Silai, a renowned pediatric expert and specialist from the China Next Generation Care Working Committee, to deliver an in-person lecture. She provided detailed insights on the pros and cons of intergenerational parenting and how to better address various issues arising from it. Her practical parenting knowledge and vivid, easy-to-understand presentation earned continuous applause from parents.

Zhang Silai believes that intergenerational childcare is a traditional child-rearing approach in Chinese culture and, under current societal realities, often an unavoidable choice. Evidence has shown that intergenerational childcare is less effective than co-parenting, with parents taking the primary role and grandparents providing supplementary support. This model is currently regarded as the optimal approach to child-rearing.

In addition to the topic of grandparenting, this lecture also invited Dr. Liao Wencan, an oral health expert from Mommy Knows, to share knowledge on children's oral health management; meanwhile, a “Xiaopi Complementary Food Q&A Session” was set up to address parents' questions about baby complementary feeding through interaction.

Address by Chen Honglin, Operations Director of Xiao Dou Miao

Chen Honglin, Operations Director at Xiao Dou Miao, stated that the launch of the Public Welfare Lecture Series on Scientific Parenting stems from Xiao Dou Miao’s long-standing aspiration: not only to make vaccination more accessible for everyone, but also to help young parents alleviate parenting anxiety, enabling more children to receive scientifically guided care and grow up healthy.

Xiaodoumiao Scientific Parenting Lecture Series invites renowned domestic experts in fields such as vaccination, child health, and early education to share professional knowledge with parents through face-to-face interactions. Held regularly on a nationwide tour each year, the series has gradually evolved into a signature content brand for Xiaodoumiao. It serves as a key extension of the platform’s online knowledge services—including “Mom’s Classroom,” “Ask a Doctor,” and “Community Forum”—fostering positive synergy between online and offline channels to deliver more comprehensive knowledge services to users.

At the event, Xiao Dou Miao also presented medals to the champion baby of the First Star Baby Competition, marking the successful conclusion of the “Xiao Dou Miao Star Baby Campaign.” Through a photo-sharing and like-collecting initiative, the campaign invited parents across China to document and celebrate their babies’ milestones. Ultimately, one healthy, adorable, and vibrant baby was selected as the Xiao Dou Miao Star Baby to feature in Xiao Dou Miao’s health promotion video, helping to convey key health messages.
