A Note to all Parents

Dear Parents,

You might not be aware, and so I am telling you this.

You can make your child smile or frown, feel safe or anxious and say eight words by eight months or not at all.

You can instil in your child, a sense of wonder and curiosity or create an image and likeness of an android.

You can make your child love school or turn defiant and play truant; even mould him into somebody resilient, overcoming the odds in life or succumbing to them.

Don’t trivialise what a simple smile or touch can do. It almost always begins with it.

Remember, you hold your child’s fate in your hands. You can lift him easily or make him fall just as easy too.

Yours Truly

Thea
