Never say, “We are earning & doing hard work for you; what we have belongs to you”. Delay instant gratification and learn to differentiate between need and want. Raise children in a disciplined manner.
Parents should regularly check the bags and belongings of their children at least once a week. A few children sometimes bring unwanted materials to school, so parents should not mind if the bags/pockets/ bottles are checked by the school authorities.
Parents should never allow unchecked, uncontrolled, unsupervised access to the internet and social networking websites, especially Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Google chats to their children.
Parents should spend quality time with their children. They should sacrifice their leisure hours if they want to see their wards fulfill their dreams. Criticism of the school, the Principal, and the teachers should be avoided in front of children. Such criticism builds disrespect for the school and the child may find himself in a state of confusion regarding following the rules and code of conduct laid down by the school.
The school rules should first be followed by the parents, such as paying fees on time, attending all PTMs, and coming to school on calls from the teachers, the Wing Head, or the Principal. Seeing the parents’ positive response, the children will readily accept their teachers’ instructions.
Don’t be impulsive in pleading your ward’s case if a teacher of the school has punished him/her. Try to know the reason by first talking to your child and then talking to the concerned teacher or the HM.
