PRINCIPAL'S CORNER:
This
year, Prince Philip Public School will focus on a character trait every month.
The
theme
for November is Responsibility. Just as with many other essential skills
in life, parents must explicitly teach their children how to be responsible.
Being responsible is an attitude,
as well as a skill, and must be taught slowly and age-appropriately. We empower
our children to be successful in life by teaching them that everyone has rights
and privileges, but with rights and privileges, come responsibilities. A child
will not automatically pick up his/her toys unless the expectation is there.
To have the privilege of playing with toys, a child has the responsibility
to put them away. To be successful at school and
later in a career, children must learn early that they must be responsible
for their own work
and behaviour. Being responsible for completing school assignments on time
and to the best of their ability, allows children to prioritize and organize
efficiently. |
|
Making mistakes on
assignments, and having the opportunity to fix them, promotes a feeling of
being in control of their outcomes. Being responsible for poor behavioural
choices allows children to see that there are good consequences for good choices
and consequences they will not like for poor choices.
Allowing children to
be responsible for their choices builds their self-esteem. As difficult as it
is sometimes for we as parents to allow children to experience
the result of poor choices in academic or behavioural areas, in the long
run, we teach our children that responsibility leads to success in life. Christine Waler
