Key Messages
----------------------
Starting school is a critical stage in your child's development. Children should enter school at age 6. You, your family, the school and the community should all be prepared for this transition.
You should encourage your child to play and explore as this is key to her/his learning and helps them to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. This helps children get ready for school.
Education for ALL children is good for the community. Parents and caregivers should equally and fully support all children going to school. Both girls and boys should attend school regularly.
Children learn by copying what others do. The examples set by you and other family members such as parents and siblings are the most powerful influences shaping your child's behavior and personality.
Discussions and Frequently Asked Questions
------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it important for a child to enter school at age 6?
Key Response: Entering primary school on time is critical to ensure the continuity of a child's development. It is also their right. Support from parents, other caregivers, teachers and the community is very important and helpful to the child.
How does interaction and behaviour by adults affect children?
Key Response: Children learn by copying what others do. If men and women do not treat each other equally, the child will observe, learn and probably copy this behaviour. If adults shout, behave violently, exclude or discriminate, children will learn this type of behaviour. If adults treat others with kindness, respect and patience, children will follow their example. If mothers and fathers treat each other with love and respect, this is what their children will learn and most likely 'replay' in their adult relationships.
