Shen Po-yang Proposes Taipei Parent-Child Companion Card, Encouraging Participation in Cultural and Sports Activities

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Po-yang attended a parent-child event today and proposed that if elected, he would promote the 'Taipei Parent-Child Companion Card,' planning to allow children aged 0 to 18 registered in Taipei to receive a fixed amount of points monthly, hoping to encourage parents and children to participate in cultural, sports, and reading activities together. Shen attended the 'Papa Puma Tells Stories' parent-child event held by his campaign office this morning, interacting enthusiastically with more than 10 parents and children, and personally told stories to the children on site. According to data provided by Shen Po-yang's campaign office, Shen shared his thoughts on parenting policies at the event, believing that parents really need private time and breathing space. If there is a place where children can play safely and listen to stories, parents can relax a little. Shen said that he publicly unveiled the 'Taipei Parent-Child Companion Card,' which was carefully planned by the campaign team with children as the core. This card imitates the spirit of the Taipei Senior Citizen Card, but the target is different. He stated that if elected mayor, he would promote the 'Taipei Parent-Child Companion Card.' This card is to be provided to children and teenagers aged 0 to 18 registered in Taipei, with each person receiving a total of 600 points distributed monthly, encouraging parents and children to participate in cultural, sports, and reading activities together. Shen said that not only can parents use it with their children, but even grandparents taking their grandchildren out can use the points together. If combined with the senior citizen card already held by the elderly, it can exert a multiplier effect on the policy. Shen stated that he declares he will promote the 'Taipei Parent-Child Companion Card' if elected, and in the future, there will be a series of supporting policies, such as creating a friendly workplace, building a perfect childcare environment, and strengthening family support during and after childbirth.
