Introduction -The biggest gift you as a parent can give your child is the gift of self-belief and confidence. While the biggest mistake you can make is to put your child down, tell them that they probably will not be successful and criticize them.
We want to tell you a story about a little 7-year-old boy called Dan (not his real name). He came to our class with a huge attitude. He told us he hated school, hated teachers, hated the kids in his class and hated the principal. He told us that he was dumb and would never learn to read or do maths and that we may as well give up trying. We persisted with him, showed him kindness and made him feel liked and respected. As his attitude towards us changed, so did his behavior and his fellow classmates started to play with him and let him play with them during lunch breaks.
Dan didn’t like to be given special attention. He didn’t like to stand out from everyone else. So we had to be careful to quietly praise him and not single him out for extra help with support staff or parents. Gradually he started to read. He was at least 2 years behind, but he was reading.
One Friday afternoon he quietly asked us for reading books to take home so he could practice. He wanted to show his Mum how much he had improved. We couldn’t wait for the weekend to pass to see his sweet smile. Monday morning came around and he was late to class, he had a scowl on his forehead and looked really cranky. He walked over to the bookshelf and tossed the books on top. Then he sat down, got his book out, picked up his ruler and broke it in half. Obviously something was wrong.
