Proper Parenting for a Proper Future of a Child

Related image

National Children’s Month is headed every November by virtue of Republic Act No. 10661 signed on May 29, 2015 by the President Benigno Aquino III. The declaration commemorates the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations General Assembly on November 20, 1989.

The theme for this National Children’s Month is “Isulong: Tamang pag-aaruga para sa lahat ng bata” and it is a call to stop all forms of violence on children and pushes for a safe, nurturing and protective environment for them through positive discipline.

The celebration seeks to increase knowledge of parents or caregivers on how to handle or educate their children whilst in the cyberspace; intensify the advocacy of positive discipline on classrooms dynamics in daily teaching; provide space for children’s participation in the legislative advocacy; push for the passage of the Positive Discipline Bill and celebrate gains and successes on child rights promotions and protection of the country. Positive Discipline, as stipulated in the Bill is disciplining children without resorting to physical or corporal punishment, such as spanking, hitting, slapping, shouting, or shaming.

Another priority legislative measure being supported by DSWD, CWC and child-caring institutions is the proposed “Positive and Non-Violent Discipline of Children Act” which seeks to promote positive and non-violent discipline of children and protect them from physical, humiliating or degrading acts as a form of punishment.

As defined in the Bill, positive and non-violent discipline refers to a holistic, constructive and pro-active approach to parenting or teaching that helps children develop appropriate thinking and behavior in the short and long terms and is based on the principles of children’s rights, child development, and effective teaching.

Reflection (Second Quarter)

    Another quarter has passed, and another new knowledge that have been gained. This second quarter, students are ready and hoping that new lessons will be added to their knowledge and exciting activities that they will do again. And I was not disappointed because this second quarter I have learned all about internet access and the HTML.            The lessons of this quarter is easy for me to understand because I was super interested in it. I may have encountered probems but I easily coped up with it and went on. At the first lesson I did not understand it at first but I thrived to learn and I asked my classmates what's all about the lesson and I understood it easily. And for the basic HTML it was easy for me and I love coding. It easily registered in my mind and didn't even have to memorize or review it because there's a trick about it.             Moving on, I will keep what I am doing because it's a good...

Reflection (4th Quarter)

Fourth Quarter, the school year is about to end and my junior year is also near to end. It's sad and happy at the same time. It's happy because I will finally finish my junior year and it's sad because I will miss a lot of happy and sad memories of my junior year. It's also sad because some of us will go to different schools for the senior year. This fourth quarter we haven't had a lot of time to study our lessons in different subjects because we practiced a lot for our field demo for the High School Day celebration. And we are also practicing our cheerdance that is a requirement for our P.E. in M.A.PE.H. For me, it was so tiring but it's fun to dance. “The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”  ― Molière I also encountered challenges this fourth quarter because we are loaded with activities, projects, quizzes, and thematic assessments. I also complain sometimes but I always tell myself that I can do this all. I will also miss my t...
