Dear Parents
“Each one agreed they would have failed if they had worked alone, far behind the parents stood the school and behind the teachers, the home.”
Dear Parents, The long awaited summer vacation is here, bringing with it the gift of togetherness that is spent in exploring books, storytelling and playing
games. These days are precious and invaluable standing out as the most memorable days of childhood. We should always remind ourselves that children will not
remember us for the gifts we shower upon them but will always cherish the time you spent with your little ones. It’s time to nurture young minds, inculcate
moral values and narrate family anecdotes to keep them in touch with their roots.
Kindly go through the following do’s and don’ts to make their formal education years the best phase of their lives.


Don’t expect a 2+ to 6+ year old child to behave like an adult.
Don’t lecture him on good behavior. Rather, teach by example, practice, repetition and encouragement.
Don’t severely punish the child. He may not understand the reason for it and hence, may not be able to change his behavior.
Don’t use bribes, threats and scoldings.
Don’t be miserly in hugging or kissing the child. He needs it in abundance.
Don’t allow the child to experience family fights (between husband and wife, etc.). It disturbs him tremendously.
Don’t compare one child with the other.
Don’t make promises that cannot be kept.
Don’t shame a child in front of others.
Don’t strike, hit or slap a child. It may physically harm him.
Don’t be too authoritarian or over-permissive.
Don’t insist on unquestioned obedience and discipline from the child. It may make him either too timid or too aggressive.
Don’t take all decisions for the child. He may start lacking confidence.
Don’t punish a child. It humiliates and disturbs him emotionally. The child tends to imitate the ‘aggressive’ behavior of the adults.
Do set a good example for the child, doing only that, which we want the child to do.
Do encourage the child by praising, clapping or patting on his back for any desirable behavior.
Do explain to the child how an act is undesirable and should not be repeated. We should be consistent in our reactions so that the child knows what is desirable and what is
not.
 Do celebrate festivals with the child.
 Do take him for outings and excursions.
 Do identify the child’s strengths and encourage him.
