The UN General Assembly Special Session on Children was held in New York, headquarters of the UN, between May 8 and 10, 2002. Four from ACWF attended the special session as nonvoting delegates and successfully held a Parents Education and Child Development Forum, sharing experience on early childhood education in China. The participants to the Forum were very interested in the parents' school network in China, claiming that it is an effective way to improve childhood education. The participants emphasized that in developing the potentials of small children, it is important that the parents should take care to see if the children are happy or interested, rather than imposing their will upon the children. These opinions are in line with the requirement of quality education in China.

　　Before the special session, delegates from ACWF accompanied two Chinese children to attend the Children's Forum from May 5 to 7.
