At the outset of a new session, I would request all parents to gift their children with their “time” that by far remains the best present. In my recent interactions with parents I have put emphasis on the importance of their presence rather that their presents and I continue to stress upon the significance of quality time spent together. I also wish to sensitize the parents to not burden the children with their own patronizing ambitions and longings. Children in all honesty want supportive hands that can assist them to identify their own latent talent and groom them to be what they wish to be. For this purpose, we request you to partner with us and join hands to provide our children with effective tools of learning that help them to make their own identity rather than be predecessors of geniuses.

I also appeal to my teachers to focus on each and every child, monitor and mentor them, appreciate their achievement and encourage them to overcome their shortcomings. I urge all the teachers to create appropriate, meaningful, and participative learning situations, inculcating life skills in the impressionable children and appreciating their minutest efforts with all generosity and broadness of vision.
