Brain-imaging research shows that glowing screens, like yourphone or iPad, stimulate the brain’s pleasure centre, literallymaking you feel better and happier. This is what makes screens soaddictive even for adults – this effect is then heightened for kidswho cannot cope with that level of mental stimulation.

Mind-sets

• Mind-sets are formed in children and they are Deep-Rooted

• The formation of mind-sets is very subtle, and affect their lives.

• What mind-sets are being formed in your children when…– you bring them overseas during term time?– you do homework for them?– you rescue them from the consequences of their

lapses? (sense of responsibility)– you conceal or rationalise their wrong doings?

Send your child to school on EVERY school day

To develop the mind-set that schooling is important,

Thank You
