Skates are easy to pack and lightweight to carry around. Thus it can be done anytime, anywhere, even when your family goes holidaying abroad!<br /><br />Learning skating is a very fun process which greatly enhances parent-child bonding. The child sees the parent learning something new and learn a very valuable lesson – that life is a journey where learning never stops, regardless of age.<br /><br />Mastery of skating, which seems so difficult, is a booster for confidence. It spills over into other aspects of family life – that if you keep trying despite the many falls, success can be achieved.<br /><br />Of course, safety is paramount and that’s why a full set of protective gear is provided during the course of the lesson. As weird as this may sound, trainers will teach you how to fall.

Here the parenting style is rigid, domineering, allowing very little freedom or responsibility for the children. Children are pressured to fit into a mould determined by parent(s) with punishment and rewards. Such children struggle to think, feel, believe, and even dream independently outside their parent</span></span></span><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">‟</span></span></span><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">s </span></span></span><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">wishes. As a result, the children have serious difficulties establishing their independent self identities as they grow up. Rules in autocratic families tend to be inflexible, inappropriate, and rigidly enforced. Unquestioning obedience rather than healthy development is fostered. Such children tend to have a weak self-ego, co-dependent on others, emotionally delicate and<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">indecisive.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Permissive Family</span></span></span></b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Permissive families reject the harsh and uncompromising stance of autocratic parenting styles, preferring not to accept responsibility for creating a mould for the children to conform. Instead they are encouraged to chart their own course and do their own thing. Little emphases are given to family order and routine. Consequently, few boundaries are drawn leading to inconsistencies in family relationships and loose family ties. As a result the children are confused, leading to their insecurity and poor socialisation abilities. Whereas autocratic families have too much control andtoo little freedom, permissive families have too much freedom and too little control. This can be a very confusing environment for a child.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Nurturing Family</span></span></span></b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Nurturing families place a high value on freedom, equality, and responsibility. The primary focus is on meeting individual needs of all family members and promoting their personal growth and development. Family rules in nurturing families are both flexible and appropriate as they are consistently maintained. Personal freedom is encouraged but with limits to proper consideration for others. This builds healthy ego boundaries and socialisation skills amongst the members.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Family types are not static but dynamic. At any given moment a family might assume a structure that includes the characteristics of one or more of the 3 family types, ensuring that family rules mirror the typical changes in the family structure and according to the developmental stages in their children's lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><o:p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Reflection pointers...</span></span></span></b><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal"><span style="color:black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">1.

Balances and widens your horizon on aspects of parenting."<br /><br />"The school designed the family life corner like a home.....so instead of loitering outside school, the students spend time interacting with friends. Friendships are nurtured."<br /><br />Quotes from Schools:<br /><br />"It’s because of these talks that the parents come to schools more often, not to complain. They see that there’s a closer connection."<br /><br />"The parents see the school as looking after them, giving them confidence to tackle issues. It’s like meeting their needs in life."<br /><br />"Staff wellbeing means that you want a healthy teacher whose family wellness is taken care of. They benefit from this programme."<br /><br />Quotes from Students:<br /><br />"We can understand our parents and what they are feeling because we can see from their point of view."<br /><br />"You have better appreciation for aims and goals. You learn that you cannot do things last minute."<br /><br />"We talk about our life and learn how to handle our stress."<br /><br />"I like the money management workshop that is conducted like an adventure game. It was fun!"</span></span>Geylang Methodist School (Primary) School Family Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04676597890673578582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634649125919009627.post-45341430034504326812010-04-06T00:54:00.000-07:002010-04-08T06:40:34.778-07:00THE TWEENAGE YEARS<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(102, 102, 102); -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 5px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 5px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><p><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This article " The Tweenage Years ” is a dapted from ‘Tween Ages by Focus on Your Child’ and reprinted with permission from Focus on the Family Singapore.

They are more worldly-wise, fashion-conscious and media-aware than children of this age used to be, and are growing up faster. Kids at this age are articulate, confident and fun-loving and at best; still fairly unaffected by the hormonal angst of the rebellious teenager!<strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Being a parent to tweenagers is the most wonderful privilege and the most daunting task as well. Stretched beyond more than what you’ve attempted before, you have a huge task ahead. The kid before you still has that sense of wonderment and interest in what you have to impart. They appreciate your hugs and kisses and thrive on your affirmations and encouragement. You can still direct their routines and plant suggestions along their way without meeting much resistance. In short, it can be most rewarding and fulfilling experience if you put in effort – loads of it!</span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This is also a critical age when the parent can set the foundation of his growing years right. The child is now able to tap on his increasing maturity to understand his emotions and empathise with others. He is fairly adept at analyzing hypothetical situations and hence you can seek his opinion on what is right and wrong. Likewise, he is able to choose an appropriate course of action based on logic and moral understanding without childish wilfulness.</span></span></p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Try these tips in discussing tough topics with your tween:</span></span></p><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Let tweens start the talk</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Encourage them to ask questions</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Don’t lecture</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Don’t simplify</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Tell the truth</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Listen to what tweens are asking</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Address only what is asked</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Wait for them to form more questions</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Guide them through emotions</span></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Let tweens know that you’re always there to listen and talk</span></span></li></ul><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Remember that you’ll never be the perfect parent and tweenagers aren’t standard issues that are neatly packaged into clean, compliant and ace students. There are no short cuts to being a good parent nor is there a secret formula that spells successful kids. In short, parenting is about hard work, perseverance and determination and above all – unconditional love.</span></span></p></span>Geylang Methodist School (Primary) School Family Educationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04676597890673578582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1634649125919009627.post-79361382512060630152010-04-06T00:26:00.001-07:002010-05-05T02:43:49.347-07:00OBJECTIVES OF SFE<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#006600;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The SFE aims to help bond families and individuals (namely, parents, pupils and staff) through programmes and activities approved by MCYS.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;"><br /></span></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#009900;">The SFE hopes to enhance the quality of family life and indirectly also impact the positive growth of the children in the school.
