Your child's Cup

Dear Parents,

Some of your kids have started back school and some will be starting soon and I want to ask you a favour, sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain to them that being very tall, very short, chubby, skinny, curly, straight or red-haired, black, white or other shade of skin colour and any characteristic in between, is not a joke to be made fun of.

That there is nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes every day. Explain to them that a used backpack carries the same dreams as a new one.

Please teach them not to exclude anyone for "being different" or not having the same possibilities as one.

Teach them to not tease and belittle others and what others love, just because they don't share the same love.

Explain to them that teasing hurts forever and that they go to school to LEARN, not to hurt others.

Teach them how to be KIND, loving, and independent.

Teach them to include the child standing/sitting/eating alone.

Prepare them to have hurtful things said and done to them without retaliation.

Let them know they are strong, brave, kind, caring, helpful, and capable.

Remind them that they matter and that their gifts will impact the world.

EDUCATION BEGINS AT HOME.

Its back to school...back to Reality 😃

Lets start with helping our children learn to do chores so that their help contributes working as a team within the family 👪
Children like feeling like they are contributing to the family. They like to feel like they have helped to make the load lighter for us parents.
