HOW TO RAISE A SOCIALLY INTELLIGENT CHILDHOW TO RAISE A SOCIALLY INTELLIGENT CHILD

Your child lives in a very complicated social world. This has always been true for children: all parents can remember their own tears or rage at the cruelty of another child; all parents can remember wanting desperately to be accepted and approved of by other children. Most of us can remember, at some point in our lives, longing for a best friend.Things are even more complicated for children now, as media has introduced children to the world of adult mores before they are emotionally ready. Our children do not know, just instinctively, how to build good relationships with other children in such a culture of shifting rules.Luckily, healthy children generally make healthy choices even in the context of difficult peer situations. That means that if children have good relationships at home they have a healthy head start, but they still need your help in learning to navigate a complex social world. Some basics on how to help children develop the social skills they need:1. Foster good social skills from toddlerhood on. This is one of the most important skill sets your child will ever develop. It is infinitely more important to his/her future happiness than helping him/her develop his/her intellect.2. Support his friendships. Honor and reinforce your child's developing friendships. Talk about them, remember them, create opportunities to play. Remember that children get aggravated with each other, just as adults do. It doesn't mean the end of a friendship, necessarily, just that they need help to work through the issues that come up.3. Model respectful relating. Remember that your child will treat others as you treat him/her. In addition to the obvious everyday respect, that means that you give him/her criticism in private, not in front of others, including his/her friends. Which means you have to find tactful ways to talk to your young child and other children about the way they are treating each other, to help them work out difficulties when they play together.

Ap p r e c i a t i o nAPPRECIATION

SAFETY AND SECURITY: As part of our safety and security awareness drive,

we advise that extra vigilance be taken when picking and dropping off pupils.

Pupils should not go in front of another vehicle dropping off pupils or go in

between cars. Parents are also advised to follow the queue of cars dropping off

pupils. Our staff have also been educated on the need to insist on this. At RIS, the

safety of every child is important. Thank you.

STILL ON SECURITY: With the recent kidnapping of pupils at Igbonla, we humbly

crave the indulgence of our parents to co-operate with the School in our drive to

ensure safety of lives. Parents who are yet to submit pictures of person(s)

picking their children are advised to do so without delay. This is a measure put in

place to checkmate the activities of unwanted person(s) who might want to pick

children without authority to do so. We also appeal to our parents to kindly inform

the School authority if anything unusual is seen within or close to us. May God

continue to be our fortress.

HEALTH MATTERS: In furtherance of our drive to ensure we are proactive in our

service delivery, we crave your indulgence to furnish your child’s class teacher

with any necessary information on the health status of your child. This would

make the class teacher and the School make an informed decision on your child

at any time. At RIS, not only is every child important the safety of every child is

our collective responsibility. Thank you.

ONLINE VIEWING OF RESULTS: As results are now been viewed online, parents

having difficulty viewing their children’s results should report same to the Head

Teacher of their child’s section. Please check the last page of the Newsletter for

the contact numbers of the Head Teachers . Thank you.

PAYMENT FOR LATE PICK-UP: We understand the nature of parents' work and

the chaotic Lagos traffic may necessitate occasional lateness in the pick-up of

your child/children. Our officers on duty have the mandate to wait until the last

child is picked and such late pick-up attracts a fine as contained in the Pupils'

Handbook. Kindly cooperate with our officers and pay up when your attention is

drawn to this lateness. Such fines are meant to serve as a palliative measure to

cushion the effect of the lateness on the officers who may have to get home late.

PARKING: We crave the indulgence of our parents during the peak period of

drop-off and pick-up to please ensure cooperation with our traffic

wardens/security guards to avoid indiscriminate parking. Adherence to this

would help in minimizing the bottleneck that is occasionally experienced during

these periods

DID YOU KNOW? Did you know you could have up to 5% off on your child's school fees

if you refer a parent that enrolls his/her child/children. This offer is limitless as our dearly beloved parents can refer as many families as possible while having a discount of 5% of the tuition fee paid by every enrolled child off the referring parent's child's school fees. This is your loyalty to the RIS brand being rewarded!

4. Teach your child that people are important. All parents have to choose their battles, so put up with messiness and dawdling if you must, but teach your child consideration for others. Model it for him early on, praise it, help him brainstorm to solve peer problems, and don't let your child intentionally or unintentionally disrespect another person. If you can't confront it as it happens without embarrassing your child, be sure to talk about it later. As children get older, you may need to be very explicit about insisting that they acknowledge adults in their presence, as well as other children. Often preteens and young adolescents need to be reminded of this, and to be given coaching on how to handle interactions that feel awkward to them.5. Teach children to express their needs and wants without attacking the other person. For instance:"I don't like it when you push in front of me like that" instead of "You're mean!""I need a turn, too!" instead of "You're hugging the ball." 6. Help your child learn how to repair rifts in relationships. When we think about repairing relationships, we usually focus on apologizing. But premature apologies won't be heartfelt and may backfire by causing the child to hold a grudge. Giving them a chance to cool down first always works better. Apologizing is a very useful friendship skill that doesn't come easily to people in our culture, mostly because we feel like it indicates that we are bad or wrong for making a mistake to begin with. But all human relationships will have conflict, and children are still learning how to handle conflict. So be sure not to make apologies into a public shaming, or your child will always resist them. And be sure that you're modeling apologies. If you never apologize, they won't either. If you apologize graciously and often, to them and to others, they will too. The secret of helping children learn to apologize is not making the apology into a punishment. culled from Aha!parenting.com

It is not out of place to feel that something that has been done is unfair. To help us resolve disputes we would like to bring to your notice the grievance procedure in the school. Please avoid any open confrontation with your child's teacher, classmate(s) or other parents.

Anything related to your child's work or performance should first and foremost be discussed with your child's class teacher. If you are not satisfied please see the Sectional Head of your child's section. If you are not satisfied, see the Deputy Head of School and if you are still not satisfied, you can see the Head of School.

Where the issue is related to finance please see the school bursar, Mrs. Babalola. You can also write your complaint in the complaints book in the bursar's office. The Senior Management consists of:
