Mr Bainbridge's Bulletin

I’d like to wish all Father’s and Special People a very happy day on Sunday and thank you for all of the roles you play in the upbringing of your children.

Fathers, like mothers, are pillars in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional. Children want to make their fathers proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength. Studies have shown that when fathers are affectionate and supportive, it greatly affects a child’s cognitive and social development. It also instils an overall sense of well-being and self-confidence.

As human beings, we grow up by imitating the behaviour of those around us; that’s how we learn to function in the world. If a father is caring and treats people with respect, their children will grow up much the same.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend with your families and enjoy some time together.
