Celebration of Learning
The time has come for us to celebrate all the learning that has happened this semester. We invite you to attend your child’s Celebration of Learning on January 21. This event is an opportunity for students to share their learning journey with you and to celebrate how far they have come and all they have learned.
Lost and Found
Over the course of the first semester, we have accumulated a collection of lost items and clothing, which are always placed at the rack at the front door of A8. If your child has lost items, clothes, please encourage them to check the rack and retrieve it before the Winter Break.
Parenting Workshop Series from a Family Life Cycle Perspective
What is the Family Life Cycle, and how can it help my child?
Family Life Cycle Theory helps parents understand the challenges children face at different stages of development, as well as how the family must adapt to these changes. As children grow, parents not only support them in their developmental tasks but also work together as a family to navigate the challenges these transitions may bring. Successfully managing these challenges can help children grow healthily and promote family harmony and stability.
What will I gain from this workshop series?
By attending this workshop series, you will learn how to understand your family's current life cycle stage and how to manage potential parent-child relationship challenges during these phases. You will gain:
- Insights into your family's life cycle and your child’s current developmental tasks.
- Practical methods to improve parent-child relationships at various stages
- Support and experience-sharing from other parents.
These skills will help you provide a stable, positive support system for your child, aiding their development and reducing the risk of behavioral problems while strengthening trust within the family.
