Commentary: What getting ready for school really means

“As parents fret over the logistics of readying a child for

school, a mother of three highlights the importance of

training young kids to have three important sets of skills.”


-

Commentary: What getting ready for school really means

1. LEARN TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS - “Problems are a natural occurrence in daily life.” - “It may take some willpower to hold back and restrain yourself from

helping, but remind yourself that swooping in too early robs your child of a valuable learning opportunity.”

2. ASKING AN ADULT FOR HELP - “Many children experience inhibition or shyness in approaching an adult,

particularly if they are not yet familiar with the person.” - “Help your child see that teachers and other school staff members are

there to provide care and assistance, not just formal academic instruction and discipline.”

3. FOSTERING A SENSE OF BELONGING - Teaching our children to learn how to make friends to foster a sense of

belonging to school.


Communicating with your child - Mobile Phones

-

Straits Times Article (29 Mar 2017): Life after 2G: Feature phones still very much in demand

Refrain from giving them a smartphone while they are in primary school and limit their access to mobile devices when they are in primary


Limit their access to mobile devices …

Steve Jobs Was a Low-Tech Parent DISRUPTIONS

BY NICK BILTON SEPT. 10, 2014

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”
