Guest Editor’s Life
I have two amazing kids who will normally wake me up on Father’s Day with eggs and bacon in bed (I pretend to be asleep, but normally I am woken up by the banging and crashing coming from the kitchen). I am sure the brekkie will be cold, because they have a timing issue with getting the whole breakfast ready at the same time, but it’s not about the food – it’s about them bringing it through, singing a song (yes, I get a Happy Father’s Day song) and jumping into bed with me.
PIETERMARITZBURG
GRADES 1 - 12
So it’s that time of the year again when my wife asks me to step in as Guest Editor and write a Father’s Day letter. I had a limerick in mind that would have been perfect, but it was vetoed by the Editor.

This year however we will be in the bush, so I will be getting the undivided attention of my whole family – there will be no TVs, no Internet and no friends to interrupt my Father’s Day weekend. Yes a whole weekend...and I am going to make the most of it. What would be the highlight of this whole weekend would be some Top Gear tickets (hint, hint...). I would have to race back from the bush to make the show on Sunday, but it would be worth it. So to all the fathers out there, be surprised and appreciative when you get a tie, socks or soap-on-a-rope and have an amazing day!
Maths. Reading. Success.

The centre consists of smaller spaces/ stalls hosting a variety of crafters, suppliers and traders’ products. Known as Dunrobin years ago, the Emporium was relaunched this year with its new name. The new owners, both “house moms”, are Ronel du Preez, who comes from a recruitment background, and Nada Kooy, a former project manager. Both ladies are farm girls, born and bred. Products sold are mainly local South African products and include arts, crafts, edibles, clothes, gifts, décor, jewellery, accessories and health products.

Details are on their Facebook page.

Healthy Life/Beautiful Life Foaming Bath Salts The company Therific Naturals stocks a range of award-winning Magnesium Sulphate products. The kiddies’ range is called Kiddy-Calm, the adult range Mai-Thaim, and for pregnant women, newborns and those with sensitive skin, there is Pure-Thaim. With Kiddy-Calm it is possible to bath your kids to better behaviour! Kiddy-Calm is specially aimed at children and comes in five funky colours and fragrances. To add to the fun, Kiddy-Calm produces an abundance of bubbles when added to hot running water. Your body requires sulphate as a pathway to process all the artificial additives and toxins found in modern manufactured foods. The body, including those of our children, may have more toxins to process than it can manage due to lack of sulphate. To alleviate the unpleasant reactions such as hyperactivity, aggression, tantrums, sleep problems, night sweats, irritability, eczema and other skin conditions, as well as headaches, migraines and muscle tension, add some Kiddy-Calm to your children’s bath tub and see them calm down!
Boot Camp, Kettlebells!

The South African National Cricket team played a test match in Durban at the Sahara Stadium in March this year. It is perhaps every young man’s dream to walk out onto the field with his cricketing heroes. Dylan McGuire is a cricket admirer and a Dolphins’ Club member, and had the honour of walking out onto the field whilst proudly carrying the South African flag. This is an opportunity one does not get all that often and St Charles College were delighted that Dylan had this experience.

Kumon
Education You Can Count On PMB central KUMON centre is located in Peter Kerchhoff Street in PMB. It was opened on the 1st of December 2012. It offers English and Maths programmes and is open three times a week i.e. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and caters for all ages and abilities. The centre is managed and run by dedicated and motivated instructors and staff who have extensive experience in education. The Kumon programme allows each child to practice to become competent in the fundamental areas of Maths and English. But it also instills other important qualities and long-term skills in children including: • Mental agility • Good study habits • Confidence • Commitment and self discipline • Reduction in anxiety • Practice Each child’s progress is made possible by giving them all the practice they need and the ability to learn for themselves. A strong partnership between the child, the Kumon instructor and their parents, is created. Parental participation and involvement is an integral part of the process. Kumon’s method provides every child with guidance and support, but puts each child’s learning in their own hands. Kumon study allows them to succeed through their own efforts at their own pace in tandem with their studies at school. So whether a child is struggling and needs more practice, or is gifted and wants to be stretched further, Kumon’s unique learning method makes this possible. The child leaves the centre feeling confident and motivated. In practice the key aspects of kumon learning are: • Success from the start. Each child begins their study at the easy starting point determined through assessment. • Daily study. This allows confidence to grow and solid study skills to develop. They attend at the centre twice a week and will be given homework to complete on non centre days. • Individual progress. Children progress at their own pace. • Mastery through practice. • Independent learning. • Transferable self learning skills, for use at school and throughout life.

Young Life/Party Life Saying Goodbye to a Child Saying goodbye to a child who is leaving home to forge his way in the world is the hardest thing I think there is to do. I have lived through divorce, difficult work matters and starting my own business. To wave goodbye to your oldest and youngest all rolled into one is heartbreaking. A week before he left, he overslept and had to rush to work. His first reaction was: “Mom, you didn’t wake me.” How do you answer that when you know that very soon it will no longer be your responsibility?

He was born into this world with big blue eyes, a smile to dazzle and character to charm. It has not been an easy road to where he is today, but perseverance and hard work has paid off. He is a loving child with a mind of his own. I remember clearly trying to dress him in winter – when he didn’t want to dress warmly. A time-out on the veranda in his underpants was a quickly learnt lesson!

WHERE ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS
He adored his father so divorce was hard on him. Junior school, high school and university all completed with good results. Toastmasters, Sunday school leader and friend. Sportsman, cousin and nephew, barman, house sitter and boyfriend. So, when your young child is driving you round the bend, remember that it is a process of you getting them ready. Ready for when they get into their own cars and wave you goodbye. It’s how they cope – the result of your anguish – that makes you proud. To all mothers who have waved their babies goodbye – you are not alone! By Tasha Jardim.
