EDUCATION IS SERIOUS
It’s essential that parents pay close attention to the kind of friends their children choose. The above quote illustrates the significant effect that a friend can have on your child, positive or negative. Please discourage friendships that are harmful to your child. The younger the child, the less developed is his/her ability to choose appropriately and parental input and guidance is required.
