A multi-association meeting, accompanied by Jodler, was recently held with representatives of the DEM. We discussed several topics that we hope will allow the DEM to improve its practices and ways of doing things, and to add resources to facilitate our role as parent-educators.
The End-of-Year Report and useful resources
The Secret to Loving Children Effectively
Though this advice from experienced parents is full of wisdom, it can be difficult to put it into practice. Either because new parents want to prove to themselves that they can do it alone, or because the family does not have a “village” to help educate their children. In both scenarios, it is the physical and mental exhaustion of the mother and the breakdown of the parent-child hierarchy that threaten the family’s balance.
There is an expression that says, ‘no one is bound to do the impossible.’ But we know that nothing is impossible for our God, our heavenly Father.
I would like to share several tips that I have discovered over the years to entice and encourage my children to write and develop their writing skills. Of course, they don’t always like the themes I suggest, but I have noticed that they are proud of themselves when they manage to produce a piece of writing, even if they don’t want to let it show. They gain something from it and their skills improve significantly.
Teaching our children to write a text without (almost) any mistakes can seem arduous and, with the obligation to subject them to the ministerial exams which come into effect this year, a certain sense of urgency amplifies the daunted feeling that some people have when faced with the task.
It’s already halfway through the year!
