The Inclusivity Issue of Jingkids is Now Up Online

When scrolling around social media I came across a photo that really spoke to me.

For many kids, fostering friendships with members of the special needs community can be a unique experience. If they’ve never met someone with special needs, they’re often confused about how to interact and be themselves. We dig into this topic in our Ask the Expert column (P. 28), as educator Julie Wolf shares her experience of explaining special needs to young children and how they can become more inclusive of others.

For my fellow parents with particularly young ones, this issue is also filled with baby-friendly restaurant recommendations (P. 12), baby food recipes (P. 14), and one expat family’s tips on their favorite places in the city to go with their new baby girl (P. 48).

Finally, as autumn rolls in, there’s nothing quite like a weekend spent exploring one of Beijing’s pumpkin patches (yes, they actually exist here). Our editor Vivienne Tseng-Rush takes you on a tour of two of her favorites out in Miyun District (P. 20) and also a few great hot springs where you and the kids can warm up (P. 18).

This article appeared in the jingkids 2021 September-October issue.
