Poor parenting leads to out of control children
Tuesday, June 28 2016
POOR parenting is the reason why many of this country’s children are out of control, according to Kern George, a teacher at Milat Military Academy.
George was addressing a huge gathering for the 56 graduating students of the Moulton Hall Methodist Primary School at City Hall, Port-of-Spain.
“I realise that teachers spend most of the time with children, more than the parents.
They spend eight hours a day sometimes more.
Parent’s I see your kids more than you...the little time you spend with them you need to have a positive impact on them.†He continued, “The little time you have with your children do something positive with them.
Right now teachers are doing double work in the nation’s schools.†George said every parent claims to be the best, and questioned, “if this statement is true why is society in this state?†He said if there is to be a change in society, citizens must have respect for one another.“In order for there to be a change in our society, people must have respect for one another. We need to show appreciation to others, be proud for others,†he said.
George said most of the time when children are engaged in extra-curricular activities, parents do not know who are the facilitators of these activities.
“You do not know who is the mad woman impacting your children, because parents are not taking time out to visit these camps to know who are these facilitators. The July/ August vacation is coming up and you, and parents are looking for a day care.†He explained, “You need to know who these people are and what impact they are having on your children. Outside there in society there are monsters.†He told the students as they go out of Standard Five and into Form One, they must have a robust head on their shoulder to always make the right decision.
