Schools were closed a month ago. For the first time in Kenyan history, this the longest holiday we've ever head in the education sector. Children are giving their parents sleepless nights. Teenagers are allover, idling, engaging in sexual activities and drinking alcohol. Has the Education CS failed on his job for sending students and pupils home for more than 8 weeks?

Dear parents, here are the 6 things you should do to ensure that your children don't misbehave during this long December holidays

  1. Take them to tuition

There's nothing like relaxing.Take them for tuition so that come next term, them will improve their grades. Remember education has no end.

2. Volunteer work

Let them participate in volunteer work. Whether it is in church, estate or anywhere else, let them learn such things when they are still young.

3. Give them less money

Dear parents, do not spoil your children with money. If you really have to give them some, make them work for the money. Be it washing your cars, doing household chores let them work them give them a few pennies.
