[Denish Ochieng, Standard]Reported fears and concerns among parents and guardians over the potential effects of long holidays on their children are not unfounded. Now that they will be home, parents remain the best resource for the learners. They remain the best bet to help the children deal with physical and psychological issues and help them cope with the extended isolation. The extended holidays have revealed how much parents often rely on teachers to nurture healthy behaviour in children but it has been a time of reflection on parenting. It can also be a time to help strengthen the bonds between the children and their parents and develop certain self-discipline skills and engage more in family activities.
