Dear Parents
“A child is like a butterfly in the wind. Some can fly higher than others, but each one flies the best it can. Why compare one against the other? Each one is different. Each one is special. Each one is beautiful.”
– author unknown
An educator at heart, the best part of my job is working with children and over the years, having worked with students from diverse backgrounds, I continue to be moved by the innocence and humanity of my students. It is a privilege to aid in the development of a child and watch as they discover and develop their potential.
There are various ways in which we as parents and educators can encourage a child’s individuality.
- Make time every day to engage with your child and take note of all the little changes as they grow and develop.
- Foster their interests and encourage their hobbies.
- Introduce them to various activities to broaden their horizons.
- Encourage their innate curiosity.
- Practice patience no matter the situation.
Every child has unique characteristics and abilities which makes them special. It is up to us to celebrate their achievements and encourage them at all times. It is important that children feel understood and supported and that they know that we, as parents and educators, are always available to them.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend of happy play times, exciting discovery, and effective communication.
Best regards
Edna
