Family Education Programmes
The 4/5 years that your child goes through in their Secondary years are years of exploring new interests, developing deeper friendships and skills. They are growing from a child to a young adult. They will develop their own beliefs and convictions. These crucial years, the children needs a significant adult in their lives to listen, care for, guide and be there for them in a non-critical and non-judgemental way. Building a strong and healthy relationship between parent and child is so crucial in these developmental years.
Parents need to have knowledge and be equip with the skills to better engage their children regularly, having deep one on one conversations. Parenting Journey should be intentional, anchored on knowledge and skills and not experimental. Learn from parents who have journeyed those years with their children before.
