• Playing with a beloved petor just watching fish swim intheir pond can help childrencalm down. • Get older children to start ajournal, in which they can safelyand privately vent their feel-ings. • Physical touch can be de-

stressing. A good hug is a goodstart, but how about givingyour child a hand or foot mas-sage? • Don’t over-schedule chil-dren. They need down-time. • Don’t rush in to solve herproblems. Listen and encourageher to come up with solutions ora plan of action. It’s empower-ing and a longer-term stress

buster. Bring more laughter into yourhome, with funny books andmovies, board games, nonsensepoems and tickle-fests. 

All children get tired andgrumpy sometimes, and stress-relieving activities can reallyhelp. Here are some ideas:

• Get the basics right andminimise stress – children needa regular routine, plenty ofsleep and a wholesome diet. • Make non-disciplinary,

casual conversation a habit. Inthis time, your child can ex-press her thoughts and feelingsabout any and all subjects. Ifyou’re open to talking aboutthe little things, she’ll come toyou when something is bother-ing her. • Help children think ofsomething relaxing to do in-stead of heading straight forthe sofa and the TV whenthey’re stressed or tired. Freshair often helps, so get outside.Have tea on a rug on thelawn, pick some flowers orshoot some hoops together. 

• Encourage creative activi-ties like drawing, painting,drawing or music that arecalming and allow children toexpress their feelings. • Sensory activities like play-ing with sand, water or clayare calming. Let your uptightchild squeeze and pound play

dough (instead of her brother!). 

• Get into a family exerciseprogramme. A brisk walk orcycle around the neighbour-hood in the late afternoon willwork up a sweat and give yousome good family time. • Teach your children tobreathe deeply. Sit or lie andbreathe through the nose for acount of five. The tummy will

rise. Exhale through the nosefor a count of five and watchthe tummy flatten. Think aboutyoga or visualisation for chil-dren.

Beste Ouers/ Dear Parents

Neem asb. kennis dat die OOV besluit het om die karnaval uit te stel tot ‘n latere datumvanjaar (November na die eksamen). Ons het begrip vir die finansies van ons ouers veral

aan die begin van die jaar, daarom die besluit om nie hiermee voort te gaan op Vrydag, 21Februarie nie. Baie dankie aan al die ouers wat reeds betaal het om u kind(ers) te laatdeelneem. Ongelukkig kan ons weens kostes wat reeds aangegaan is, nie u geld te-rugbetaal nie, MAAR dit sal op rekord gehou word. U kind sal dus nie weer aan die eindevan die jaar hoef te betaal om deel te neem nie. Ons vra verskoning vir die ongerief.

Please take note that the PTA has decided to postpone the carnival to a later date this year(November after the exams). We understand the financial impact on our parents, especiallyat the beginning of the year, hence the decision not to go through with our initial plan. Thankyou to all those parents who have already paid for their child(ren) to participate. Due to costsincurred, we will not be able to refund your money. Your child’s payment will be kept on our

financial records. Your child will not have to pay again to participate at the end of the year.We apologise for any inconvenience.
