DIAN SCHOOL AL MAABELA f (ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFIED INSTITUTION) INDIA ISAM/CRICNS/9 DEPARTMENT OF COUNSELLING & SPECIAL EDUCATION CIRCULAR TO PARENTS (VI-VIID) ' Dear Parents, 20 February 2020 “Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become.” Brooke Hampton Warm Greetings! Another successful academic year draws to a close. Your child has taken few more advances in becoming an independent learner. Learning is not confined to a textbook, and here at ISAM we believe that holistic learning unfolds the innate potential of each child. You can make their childhood an engaging one by investing into their holistic learning by employing all their senses. We encourage our children to be active in body and mind. An active lifestyle benefits in strengthening the growing muscle-bones and heart. It is recommended for children of school age to have at least 30 minutes of moderate to rigorous physical activity each day such as playing organized sports or going for family walks. This is likely to increase the strength of family bonds as well. The benefits of getting your child active outnumber the cost - it helps to maintain the attention and energy levels, reduces anxious thoughts and aggressive behaviors. Prioritize skill building rather than always winning a game. Exams are only a way of assessing some of the skills a child has learnt, but not the end in itself. Please keep in mind, no amount of gadget time can substitute the quality of presence in the time you give to your child. Listen and engage in conversations with them that support them to express their unique view of the world - in thought and feeling. This will help them to become effective communicators and better problem solvers as an independent learner. Together let us strive to keep our children healthy in body and mind!
