Newsletter 14 June 2013

EDUCATION

Parents are the primary figures of authority in the young child’s environment.  Should the parent allow the child to be disrespectful, the child then believes that he may show disrespect to other figures of authority, e.g. regulations, teachers, policemen, etc.  This is a recipe for disaster as these other figures of authority may not allow disrespect and the child will suffer the unpleasant consequences thereof.  Please do not allow your children to treat you and/or other adults with disrespect.

EXAMS

Thanks to all those parents who are fetching their children on time during this exam period in order for them to go and study.  It is greatly appreciated!
