CIRCULAR
Dear Parents,
I on behalf of C.L.D.A.V Senior Public School Sector-11, Panchkula welcome you all to this orientation programme. Let me congratulate you all on the success of your wards. It’s a great opportunity to be together as we can have a healthy interaction. I on behalf of the institution can assure you that coming session is going to be a great year of learning. Children can look forward to an action packed year ahead with lot of activities. We believe in holistic development of a child as every child is special and unique. We unfold their hidden talents through various activities. Teachers are here to guide the students with compassion and patience. Conscientious efforts are always made by us to bring out the students skills, enabling them to improvise and adapt to the ever changing scenario. We request parents to let their wards always do things on their own.
Keys to Successful Parenting:
Security Measures- The safety of the students is our topmost concern. An adequate number of guards, CCTV cameras, fire extinguishers are there. We also have a restroom to take care of the sick children.
Value Education: Our School caters for mental health of the students. Vedic scholars visit here for meditation, to impart value education and perform Hawans. Students are also taught the value of gratitude. We celebrate grand-parents day, and Goodwill day. Our children visit old age homes and orphanages.
Wellness and Hygiene Measures- When a child is spending more than 6 hours at school, we ensure that his surroundings are clean and his health should always be good. Hygiene of canteens, Cleanliness of campus and classes are ensured. We request the parents to encourage their children to spend time for outdoor games. We also request them to take care of their diet. Send healthy tiffins to school. Add variety of sprouts, veggies and fruits in their tiffins.
Sports Facilities Children here are given exposure to a variety of sports. This helps them to discover their talent. We have Cricket, tennis, Taekwondo and basketball academy.
Reading: We just don’t focus on examination, we also focus on improving the reading skills. We ask them to read books and then discuss thus improving their analytical abilities. We need your support. Encourage your child’s reading habit. Gift him or her a book for even little achievement.
Extracurricular and cultural activities- We encourage participation of every child in various activities. Some students just never take part. Teachers encourage such students to find their own interest and take part in some or other activity. A class teacher knows which student is introvert and shy and works towards showing them the right direction.
Library and Gazibo- Recently a newly renovated library provides students with ample scope of information. Many new books in all subjects have been added. The newly constructed Gazibo amidst Gulmohar trees provides perfect environment to students for meditation, help them connect with nature through music and reading classes.

Keys to Successful Parenting:
1a) In today’s scenario, a child is influenced by so many things – the TV, neighbors, teachers, school and a million other things. He will go the way whatever he finds most attractive. As a parent, you have to make yourself in a way that the most attractive thing he finds is to be with the parents. If you are a joyous, intelligent and wonderful person, he won’t seek company from anywhere else. For anything, he will come and ask you.
1b) If you are genuinely interested in giving your children a good upbringing, you should first transform yourself into a peaceful and loving human being.
2. Give Unconditional Love:
Firstly you must remember that children are not going to remain young always. Time flies so fast, that they will grow up soon. Hence, you should make the most of your child’s growing years.
The childhood is the time when you can spend maximum amount of time with your child and grow close to him/her. Once, they grow into teenagers and adults, they get so busy with their own lives. You should try to have as many as happy memories as possible at each stage of your child from toddler to teenager. Let them know how much you love them and that you will always love them unconditionally.
3. Use Action, Not Words:
Statistics say that we give our children over 2000 compliance requests a day! No wonder our children become “parent deaf!”. Instead of nagging or yelling, ask yourself, “What action could I take?” For example, if you have nagged your child about unrolling his socks when he takes them off, then only wash socks that are unrolled. Action speaks louder than words.
4. Develop Healthy Eating Habits From a Young Age:-
Make it a point to feed your child healthy food right from the young age. Give them fruits instead of chips and pizza. If your children eat healthy foods right from the young age, then it is likely that the habit will continue till adulthood. Food habits developed at the young age often stay on till later in life.
5. Have Family-Time:
Many fathers come late at night, by which time their children are already in bed. Make it a point to have at least one meal together as a family. Basically, you should try and make it a point to do something together as a family. Set aside fifteen minutes every evening, when the entire family will together clean the house! Or, you can also play some board games five days a week together like ‘Monopoly’. This will help all of you to bond together as a family and will also help siblings become closer.
6. Maintain a Friendly Relationship:
Do not imposing yourself on the child. Create a strong friendship rather than being a boss. Don’t sit on a pedestal and tell the child what she should do. Place yourself below the child so that it’s easy for them to talk to you.
7. Try to Make Your Children Self-Reliant:
Try to make your child independent and self-reliant. Do not do everything for your child as this will make him more and more dependent on you. Children should be given an opportunity to do simple tasks which can be done by them, without the parent doing it for them. Some parents do everything for their children which can cause problems later on in life. When children do things by themselves, they become self-reliant which in turn increases their self-esteem. At the end of the day, remember to be good role models for your child.
