PARENT INTERFACE
Parental involvement is a crucial component of a child’s education and overall development. When parents actively engage in their child’s learning journey, it not only enhances academic performance but also contributes significantly to their social and emotional well-being. To foster a stronger parent-school partnership, educational institutions are increasingly organizing workshops designed to empower parents with knowledge, skills, and strategies to support their children’s growth and development. Workshops offer parents valuable information about various aspects of their child’s education, including curriculum, standardized testing, and available resources. As schools and parents continue to collaborate through workshops, the impact on student success, behavior, and emotional well-being becomes increasingly evident. It is through this shared commitment to a child’s growth that the foundation for a brighter future is laid, benefiting both the child and the larger community.
Positive Parenting
Parents in today’s society are supposedly under constant pressure to do everything “perfectly”—a quest for perfection that probably makes parenting feel challenging. Therefore, it is essential that parents take part in parenting programmes designed to give them more control.
To help parents in this endeavor, Salwan Montessori School on Saturday, 27th January, organized a parenting workshop for them.
The workshop was taken by the Headmistress Ms. Sona Gombar who gave them insights on fantastic positive parenting techniques and apprised them about strategies for handling difficult behaviors and tantrums. Parents were very satisfied and happy to learn about new approaches to handle their bundle of joy empathetically.
