We teach children how to count, to read and to tie their shoelaces to name just a few. We teach them to develop the abilities they need to be happy, active, and well-adjusted adults. Honesty is one of those behaviours. It forms the basis of trust in our relationships. Learning how to be honest and communicate in a respectful, kind, and truthful manner is an important skill we need to teach our children. Read fairy tales and fables to your child illustrating moral values like honesty through fantasy. What we do, what we say, and how we act all influences a child. #SmileyKids #Preschool #SouthAfrica #learningthroughplay #earlychildhooddevelopment #raisingthepreschoolbenchmark #honesty #honestyisthebestpolicy

Dear Parents, It is ineffective to instruct your children on how to treat people. By default, your children are likely to replicate whatever they see you do or say. So, if they notice you treat some persons better than others, more often than not, they'll also adopt same treatment method on those set of persons accordingly, whether in your presence or absence. No standing order, no matter how stern, can alter this. If you honour a man/woman, your kids will likely do same whenever they come across that said man/woman and vice versa. You cannot be hostile to a particular set of people and for whatever reason, instruct your kids to be friendly to them, it's a futile task. First be the result(s) you want to see in your kids, they learn better via replications more than instructions. Enjoy your weekend. #Kiowari_Headboi

It is a sad commentary on our education system that students commit suicide to acquire knowledge that is available at the tap of a key. #TapanGhosh #livingontheedge #filmmaker #flirtwithlife #faithinfate #EducationCrisis #StudentWellbeing #MentalHealth #EducationReform

4 important rules of classroom culture with growth mindset.

What is etiquette, is it important for children to learn? Good manners, etiquette, and courtesy are essential pillars of a harmonious society. 🙋🙋🏾They foster respectful, compassionate interactions and lay the foundation for strong, meaningful relationships. Imagine a world dominated by rudeness, aggression, and impoliteness—it's a scenario none of us would feel comfortable in. This is why teaching good manners to preschoolers and children is so crucial. 🌏 As we work toward creating a peaceful, thriving society, raising well-mannered kids becomes a responsibility we can’t overlook. 🗣️ How do you approach teaching manners in your home, schools, or communities? Let's discuss the strategies and experiences that have worked best for you! #etiquette #lessonsforchildren #socialskills

International Day Of the Boy Child is about dedicating May 16 to the boys and their wellbeing. This includes the things they need in order to be happy, healthy, and valued in their family and community. The observance for 2024 is themed, “Cool Boys; Teaching Boys How to Manage Anger and Aggression. Managing anger and aggression is a critical life skill for boys, helping them navigate the challenges of growing up in a complex world. Engaging boys in STEAM inspired projects that foster collaboration, teamwork, respect of opinions, taking turns, and friendship is one the ways you can help them understand, express, and cope with their emotions. #internationaldayoftheboychild #may16 #educationalleadership #educationaldevelopment #raisingkings #boysmattertoo #teachingwhatmatters #steameducation #steameducator #experientiallearning #connectionovercurriculum

When we teach our children that they must follow any rule an adult puts in place, no matter what, we make them vulnerable. When we teach them that they have no real voice, we make them vulnerable. When we tell them them have no right to ask why, or to explain themselves, we make them vulnerable. We might think that we are keeping them safe, that we are putting boundaries in place, but, particularly as they get older, blind obedience makes them vulnerable. Not all adults have their interests at heart. A child who has been taught that adults always know best is convenient for those around them. ‘Easy to manage’ and biddable. Instant obedience can be trained, and makes an institution run smoothly. They learn that there’s no point in disagreeing. But children who have learnt to do what they are told, no matter what, are easier to exploit. Children who have not been allowed to question adults won’t suddenly do so when things aren’t right. As one young person said to me ‘I didn’t think I could say no’. When we take away agency from children, we make them vulnerable. Saying No is important, and if we don’t show them that they can, how will they ever know? 

Dear Teacher, Every child deserves to be seen for who they are, not through the lens of someone else’s experience. Give them a fresh start and a fair chance to shine. Sometimes, all it takes is one caring adult to make a world of difference. Let go of what you've heard from colleagues and approach each child with an open heart and mind—you could be that person who changes everything for them.
