What to expect (and do) as a child goes from primary to secondary school?

Daniel Curry, Director & Principal, Vega Schools

PRIMARY SCHOOL
Develop children socially and emotionally
Follow what is taught in class and engage at home
SECONDARY SCHOOL
Give opportunities to practice organizational skills
Remove supports
Step back and let children grow
Understand their need for space
Additionally, parents must also expect physical and emotional changes at this level. The relationship will also grow; parents shouldn’t fear this or try to prevent it. Students will become more interested in their friends and schoolmates rather than spending time with their family. They will be less forthcoming about everything happening in their personal lives, which includes school. Don’t worry, this is normal and indicates your child is merely growing up!
Remember that a school is a place for learning, and students learn by trying, making mistakes, forgetting things, and understanding consequences. These important lessons will serve them throughout their life. If parents seek to prevent their children from ever making a mistake, they are robbing them of significant personal growth and development.
The best schools in Gurgaon work to establish good relationships and communication with parents. They also ask parents to recognize they won’t have the same level of direct influence and awareness over their child’s secondary school experience as they had in primary. Let the child grow independently and become mature, responsible, and self-motivated young adults.
