INTRODUCTION
This
is a survival guide for mainly scholars to help them to be able to learn and be
taught to do things in the guidance of parents or guardians at an early age.
The
parents should supervise, help or monitor their children at all times to make
sure each step is followed accordingly.
All
the steps mentioned in “The Survival Weekday Guide For Scholars”, the parents
or guardians need to do them with their children firstly and continuously until
their children are fit enough to do the steps by themselves.
Remember
that parents or guardians are first role models children grow up looking up to.
Hence it is important to do these steps with children at an early age and let
them know why you are doing this with them.
Parents
or guardians must trust and believe in their children that they can do these
steps and recognize them once they show progress on each step. Make each step
fun, talk about the things children love while each step with them.
