With South Africa in a lockdown and parents having to take responsibility for their children’s schoolwork, we take a look at how parents can help their children stay on top of their schoolwork. Ponnie Moodley, contributor for Caxton’s Parenting 101 feature, will share her top tips for parents with Caxton audiences in days to come.
Today Marietta Lombard speaks to Moodley about your child’s development. “We need to look at the child’s sense of community, especially now during the lockdown. Your community starts with your family. The family is the child’s first community.”
