Now here's an insight backed by science!
Hong Kong is home to the infamous Chinese tiger mum; overzealous, grade-conscious mums who pressure their children to excel in academics, even at the expense of their child's natural interests.
Incredibly, it turns out that kids don't actually like being locked under the staircase and made to study algebra for 6 hours a day.
There has been a lot of debate in the Hong Kong media about the pros and cons of dominant parenting lately with the spotlight focusing on a study by a prominent child psychologist which proved an overwheming amount of Hong Kong children found success when allowed to pursue their chosen creative field. We decided to capitalise on this newfound 'Children's Lib' movement and created the I'm Amazing project.
The concept was simple:
1. Kids show us their inner creative by submitting ideas for what they would like to see in a real McDonald's concept store.
2. We make it happen.
The store chosen was the infamous 'Megabox' McDonald's store in Kowloon Bay. We selected 22 of the most unique designs and working with custom fabricators and interior decorators, brought ideas such as the 'Deep-Sea Bookcase' and 'Rainbow Dinosaur Arch' to life.
