How to gently correct “shy behaviour” before it turns into avoiding group activities, mumbling answers, or not wanting to go to school

The truth about overpraising — and how to raise a child who feels good because they tried, not because they got it “right”

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this really free? What’s the catch?

Yes, 100% free. We’re offering this guide to help more parents feel confident and supported. It’s also a way for our school to build positive relationships in the community.

2. Who is this guide for?

It’s for any parent or guardian with a child in school — especially those in Grade R to Grade 7. But older learners benefit too, as the principles apply to teens as well.

3. Why is a school giving away parenting advice?

As educators, we’ve seen how small changes at home can make a big difference in the classroom. This guide is based on research and real experiences from South African families we’ve supported.

4. Will this guide tell me I’m a “bad parent”?

Not at all. It’s judgment-free and encouraging — designed to help good parents spot blind spots and feel more confident in their role.

Testimonials

"I’ve always been a little hesitant about using child care services, but after an unexpected work emergency, I’m so glad I had care arranged. The process was smooth, and the staff was incredibly kind and professional. It gave me peace of mind knowing my child was safe and happy."

John D

"Leaving your child with someone else can be stressful, but knowing there was trusted care available really helped me feel at ease. I had a last-minute situation, and the team was responsive, understanding, and supportive. I’ll definitely use this service again when I need child care in the future."
