Leadership Activities for Children
by Kris on Monday, 10/24/2011 under
The best time for us to teach leadership skills is when our children are young. This can be done through a variety of different activities. Teaching these skills early on is critical. They will help our children improve their self-esteem and as they get older (especially during those dreaded teenage years) they will be less likely to give in to peer pressure as they will not rely the approval of others. These leadership skills will also be invaluable later in life as well.more
Positive Influences

Children learn a great deal through watching and imitating others; however, there is no shortage of negative role models in today’s society. Both children and teenagers spend a lot of time in front of video games, television, and the Internet - which don’t necessarily advertise family values in every situation. more

One of the biggest challenges as a parent is knowing how to discipline your child. First of all, each child is very different and you may need to adjust your discipline philosophy based upon the personality of that child but we will get to that more in a future post.
The biggest mistake that most parents make is that they are not consistent with their children. Basically, many parents will talk tough but then do nothing to enforce the rules.more
Stop Being Their Friend
by Kris on Tuesday, 09/20/2011 under
In today’s world of parenting, it seems as if children have started raising themselves. It seems that parents never want to upset their children and as a result they just continually give in to their child’s every want and desire. This is happening from a very early age which is why so many parents are having problems with their teenagers.more

The Courage to Speak workshop is the best investment you can make to equip your children with the essential life skill which will put them in good stead whether they are being interviewed for IP (Integrated Programme) schools, delivering oral presentations in class or performing in role plays.

Kris on TV!
by Kris on Monday, 09/29/2008 under
Last Saturday, I was recording the talk show, "Talk It Out", on the channel Mom-on-Demand with Mio TV. I was the parent "expert" on the progamme. I was excited to meet the presenter, Susanna Kulatissa. With her cue, it was much easier for us to flow with the programme.
She is really charming, professional and very reassuring. As it was the first time to be on-air for many of us, she kept encouraging us and told us to focus on what we can do to help other parents.more
