It's important to keep promoting values to our children. These are the foundations of character and will get them successfully through life.

Sometimes Its Good To Quit

We usually do things for a reason. For example we go on dates to get a husband, or take a job to earn money (our purpose) and then we take a path to achieve this purpose.

We often encounter lots of problems and obstacles along the way and get stuck without achieving our purpose. When this happens its a good idea to QUIT and take another path so that we can move forward towards our purpose.

It's important that we can take many paths to our purpose and we will get there as long as we know when to quit and change paths.

No Additional Funding For Public Schools

I do not believe that additional funding for public schools is the answer to our declining academic levels and the learning gaps between schools in different sectors.

We should be funding out of school program run by great mentors.

I have a dear friend who is a teacher's aide for 'special needs children' in a Qld high school. She has been doing this job for over a decade and gets great results - probably because she cares. She believes that the key to her success is placing expectations on her students and demanding respect no-matter what is going on in the student's life.

She has recently had a new head of department who believes that the way to get results is through kindness and expecting nothing of the children 'because they are not going to do anything in life that is academic'.

When a student arrived in class today with no pen to do his work and an attitude that said I'm not going to do anything my friend told him that in her class he is expected to arrive with the right equipment and make an effort. He complained and she is to be spoken to for 'upsetiing' him.

This is not the first time that I have heard from teachers who are taken to task for trying to give their students skills for the real world. It's all very well to make allowances for stress, or a bad day, or whatever in the school environment but in so doing you are not preparing these children for the real world.

Every student in an Australian school must be told that there are minimum expectations to be adhered to at all times which include attending class with all the right equipment and showing respect for teachers and a willingness to try. There must be a consequence for non-compliance.

These children need to understand that the world does not revolve around them and that there are many things in life they need to do because they are right to do, regardless of whether they want to do them. Life is like that!

Remember a Father is the most important influence in a daughters life. She uses you as the yardstick against which to measure all men. Yes, a huge responsibility.

The Importance Of Fathers For Daughters

Young girls struggle so much today with self-esteem. They do not know how to find happiness within and measure their worth by the opinions that others have them. A father plays an essential role in breaking this cycle.

Is your daughter struggling to find herself?

We work with many teenage girls who are so starved for acceptance and love that they dress and act in a way that is not really them simply to get attention and fit in. Did you know that a father or close male role model is the single greatest influence on the value that a young girl places on herself. If she feels important and accepted for who she is by a male that she loves and respects, she will be confident in herself and value herself highly. This will effect all of her dealings and expectations of males that she might enter into a relationship with. She will have high standards for herself and those around her whom she lets into her life.

Helping Your Child To Learn

According to Dr Dobson there are 3 reasons why a child does not learn easily or to their full potential:
(a) they are a late bloomer;
(b) they are a slow learner; or
(c) they are an under achiever

Please contact us if you need help working out which category your child falls into and information on strategies to help your child.

One of the most important things a parent can give a child is discipline as without discipline even the most intelligent child will not reach their full potential.
