Kids' Vision And Mission (Home) Let's Live Our Values

We often say, love our children, protect our children, give our children the best...and many more such positive phrases. As parents, guardians, and care takers of our kids, let's all work together to fulfill what we have promised.

Let's say Yes! for our children!

Leave No Child Out Take your children fishing - girls can do it, too! Organize a football match for children in your neighborhood. Ensure every child gets a chance to play. Put Children First Tell your kids you love them. Everyday - and say it out loud. Involve children in family decision-making - they have great ideas and you get better decisions that make everyone happy. Care For Every Child Your time is your most precious resource - spend it on your kids. Be generous with your compliments to children - but be honest. Your kids will appreciate both. Fight HIV/AIDS You are the source of your children's values - so practice the morals that you preach. Give children clear and correct information regarding the concept of responsible sexuality and the dangers of HIV/AIDS. Stop Harming Children Make positive statements to children about people who are different from your own race, religion or economic background. Set up system of rewards and challenges for children in order to change their behavior, instead of resorting to shaming them. Listen To Children In an argument with children, put yourself in their shoes in order to understand their point of view. Before they sleep, ask your children what the best and worst things were for then that day. Then tell them yours. Educate Every Child Get to know your children's teachers - you have as much responsibility for your children's education as they do. When a child attempts something new, help him or her to value failure as a learning experience, don't use it to judge the child. Protect Your Children From Violence Stay open to the various distress signals that children may give - they may not be able to communicate the danger they feel verbally. Children grow strong by learning from what they did wrong, so help them do this without using physical punishment. Protect The Earth For Children Show respect for the environment by driving less and walking more - you kids will admire you for it. Don't litter - in fact, try to leave the earth a little cleaner than when you found it. Invest In Children Use the school holidays for quality time spent with grandparents - life-skills are best learnt from the wise and well-lived, not at holiday tuition centers. make the investment that brings the highest returns in the world - love your children.
