STRADBROKE HIGH ACHEIVERS

Liam Hennig and team mate Oskar de

Luca competed in the Classics, achieving

3rd place. As the competition included

teams from all around Australia this is a

significant placing!

THANK YOU PARENTS

The Stradbroke sports shed (for lunchtime borrowing) have

recently been given 10 soccer balls and 6 footballs by the

local AMART Newton shop. This is part of their Community

Kickback program. Thanks to parents who shop at this sports

store and mention that they attend Stradbroke, as each time

parents do this, Stradbroke gain points to receive free

sporting equipment.

RESOURCE CENTRE

Monitors: Year 7 monitors play an important role in the

smooth running of the library. They are trained to use the

Amlib Library System, which allows them to manage

borrowing and returning during lunch times. Our monitors

also re-shelve books and help with displays. Congratulations

to the following monitors who have completed five duties

and have received their library monitor’s badge: Caitlin B,

James H, Isabel S, Ryan S, Lathika G, Matthew W, Deeya S,

Jordan S, Samuel S, Noor S, Jia Yu C, Barnabas T, Claudia B,

Imogen A, Rowan G and Angelika L. Congratulations and

thank you to these students.

SCHOOL NEWSLETTERS

Currently our school newsletter is published fortnightly on

Thursday and distributed to families through the Skoolbag

App, an email distribution list, the school website and as a

paper copy to each family. The Governing Council have

discussed these distribution options and are keen to move to

‘paperless’ distribution. Beginning in term 4 our newsletter

will be distributed through the Skoolbag App, the email

distribution list and available on our school website. Paper

copies of the newsletter will be available on request. More

reminders about this change will be provided throughout

term 3.

LOST PROPERTY

If your child has lost a Smiggle Watch or a Stradbroke school

two tone spray jacket (No Name) please see Kristen in the

Finance Office before the end of term 2.

Lost property will be on display in the quadrangle throughout

Week 10 and any un-named items left unclaimed at the end

of term will be donated to charity.

WORDS Michael Grose

Do you let your kids

amaze you?

A mother left this comment on our Facebook

page recently in response to our post: “What

would be the impact if you did less, not more

for your children?”

Lovely answer!

It got me thinking that the joy that this

mother took from watching her children

develop independence was no accident.

Her parenting style played a large role in her

children’s independence. All power to her

and her parenting style!

I’ve long believed that adults are the

gatekeepers for children’s independence.

We open the gate to independence when

we give children opportunities to develop

self-help skills (carry their own schoolbags,

get themselves up in the morning, tidy

their own rooms); provide them with real

responsibility (feeding pets, setting the

meal table and preparing meals) and give

them autonomy to make some of their own

decisions (choosing clothes within limits,

following own interests, making choices

about pocket-money spending).

We close the independence gate when

we do too much for children (tidy their

toys away, pack their schoolbags, make

simple snacks); rescue them from learning

opportunities (take forgotten lunches to

school, sort out their friendship problems,

pay their library fi nes) and neglect to build

scaff olds to independence (such as help

them make their bed, walk half way to school,

teach them to ride public transport).

It’s a quirk of parenting that many

children think they are older than they

are, and parents think their children are

younger than they are. We underestimate

children’s abilities to the detriment of their

development.

Are you an opener or closer of the gate to children’s independence?

Think of independence as a continuum

with opening the gate and closing the gate

at either end. If your parenting is more at

the closing end then look for ways to move

down the continuum towards independence

building. My advice is to make small

adaptations to your parenting. For instance,

start with a child making their own snacks

before moving to helping you to prepare a

meal. But fi rst you need to develop a mindset

for independence building. That means, be

on the lookout for opportunities for children

to do things for themselves.

As many readers will know I fi rmly believe

that the job of parents is to make ourselves

redundant from the earliest possible age of a

child’s life. That means, that our interactions

with kids have an endgame in mind – we

want our kids to be able to stand on their

own two feet physically (Don’t we get a

kick out of them walking for the fi rst time!),

emotionally (with support, of course) and to

navigate their world without being reliant

on others.

There is no better feeling as a parent than

watching your child beam with joy and pride

when they’ve mastered a new skill, overcome

a challenge or conquered a fear. It’s those

times that make parenting so worthwhile.

Those awesome smiles won’t happen by

accident. They require a parenting style that

gives kids a chance to be independent; that

encourages them to be brave and off ers

them the safety net of emotional support

when life throws them curve balls. Why not

try it? Give your kids a chance to amaze you.

If the idea of promoting real independence

in kids enthuses you then join me at

Parentingideas Club where week in and week

out I’ll show you how to raise kids that will

amaze you. Find out more.

“I’m amazed at what children CAN do when given the opportunity and encouragement. I love the pride, confi dence and sense of purpose/ pleasure in

contributing, each new skill achieved brings. The smiles are awesome too.”
