Test week has started! 📚
As a parent, I believe that putting pressure on a child to achieve academic success in the form of abusive words or actions will not yield positive results. However, I am an advocate for consistent positive effort throughout the term.
Though academics is important, I do also appreciate that real life lessons aren’t always learnt in the classroom and that didatic learning is not ideal for every child.
It’s important to me to teach my daughter about resilence, personal motivation and having a practice of excellence. We drew up an agreement after having a discussion about this. She is at an age of maturity where she understands the concept that regular good effort often outweighs talent.
Obviously, in life’s journey, things don’t always go to plan and sometimes challenges are insurmountable for every one of us. But i know she is looking at me and I am literally molding another human mind. So this is also a reminder for me to check myself and refocus on my goals and the life I want to build. ❤️🫶🏾
