HOW TO BE YOUR CHILD’S BEST FRIEND

Parent Handout 

While raising your child, as a parent, you tend to follow many different tips and tricks to manage your child’s behaviour, but, sometimes being strict may seem like the only feasible option. However, it is actually with a little affection and a lot patience that you can make your child more obedient and respectful. Become your child’s best friend right from the early years, has a deep and long term positive impact on your relationship and makes parenting easier for you.

A few tips to become your child’s best friend!

Ø Refrain from scolding your child too often: Be it bad behaviour with a classmate or poor academic performance in school. A child can quite easily share his/her feelings with a person who they know will never scold them and will support them. Make your child realise his/her mistake by talking to them and calmly explain them with examples, what wrong was done. Avoid scolding the child as much as possible. 

Ø Talk to your child about your experiences: Two people who have common interests or share their experiences with each other, become friends almost instantly. If your child feels a little hesitant about sharing something with you, take the first step and tell them about what you felt when you had a bad score in the math test or when you made a mistake as a child. This will help you two to get along, effortlessly.

Ø Make your child feel comfortable to express: Create a positive environment in your home in which your child feels comfortable while talking about her fears or worries. Encourage them to share their day at school and the things that they liked and those that they didn’t. Reassure them that you are always with them for any help, guidance and support they need.

Ø Spend quality time with your child: Dedicate a day to your child, spend some great moments together.

In the end, remember that besides being your child’s best friend, you are also your child’s mentor and guide.

Happy Parenting!

Why I Love “RAFFLES INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL” India Campus..!!

Raffles International School India Campus

It’s been four years now that I joined this school. Ever since I have gained so much in terms of knowledge, friendship, moral values and guidance. The faculty at my school has the best exposure and guides us in their respective subjects. They are not only our mentors but they treat us like their own children. This is the first time I have studied in a boarding school. I was never keen on the idea of studying in a boarding school as I had heard how harsh and badly the students in a boarding school are treated. I had also heard about seniors ragging the juniors but all that was just a myth, because in the last 4 years neither did I experience any of such incidences nor have I been a party to it though I am in the senior most class and School Sports Captain of  the school.

The school has the infrastructure in sports one of its rare kind. My school hosts more than 20 sports in its lush green 26 Acres campus. Swimming, Horse Riding, Tennis, Squash are a few games I have excelled in. My sports teacher Mr. Vishal Pratap has great experience in his field. He treats us like his own kid. I would like to mention an incident of yesterday: when we went for cross country racing for 12 kms as he is training us for an upcoming marathon event in Jaipur.  Not just him our sports department has trainers with great experience and background. We have a sports curriculum designed where we are trained in endurance, strength, skills, speed and agility.

These are the reasons why I love my school. I wish I could be tiny tot again and live my life at Raffles India from my early years as a toddler. But unfortunately I am in Grade 12.  I will be leaving my school soon. Therefore all I can say is “Thank You” for all that this school has given me.  My school is the Best Boarding School in Rajasthan (Delhi-Jaipur Highway).
