Parenting

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.” Jane D. Hull

Dear Families,

I never knew what I signed up for when I became a parent over eighteen years ago! My daughter Daisy is now an adult and has finished her first year of nursing at university. Finn is sixteen and is finishing year ten and is considering studying physiotherapy. Monty is fourteen and is currently on a ten-day camp in the Victorian High Country. I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather, and I’m sure he’ll get a few wet days. 

I found this interesting article titled 5 ways parents can help children adjust to being at school after months in lockdown. It might be helpful as we return to what was once considered normal routines of school. I also came across this visual which you may also find helpful…

“Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.” Robert Fulghum

Thanks for being awesome parents.
