Dear Parents, as the school year draws to an end and the school holidays will soon follow, it is important to not let the precious opportunity for parent-child bonding slip by!
As our children reach teenagehood and want more independence, some parents may tend to let their children be, thinking that they have grown up already and can manage their own problems. While our youth’s need for more independence is true, they also need to know that their family will always be there for them.
A family is not just a physical unit but also a place where we can be emotionally present for our youth. When our youth feel supported and know that we will always have their backs, they develop healthy self-esteem and greater resilience to go through challenges in life.
Therefore, do remember to engage in some fun family-bonding activities to make this school holidays memorable!
We wish you a meaningful holiday!
