“Strong family” project is being successfully implemented in Semey

At NIS of Physics and Mathematics in Semey, the “Strong family” project is being successfully implemented to strengthen the partnership and trust between parents and teenagers. The project was attended by 7th grade students, parents, educators, psychologists, teacher-organizer-curators. On one of the last days of its implementation, a senior manager of the corporate communications department of “Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools” AEO, a certified trainer Zhanna Amanova took part in the project.

For project participants, the organizers of the program held family games and discussions, coffee breaks, events for children, and discussed the problems that parents face in the family. The parents debated that difficulties can arise in any families and that there are organizations and other people who can help in difficult situations. Together, a list of public institutions was created for helping families experiencing difficulties and crisis situations. At the end of the session, the parents were given homework – to apply the acquired skills and knowledge in the life. The parents adopted the motto, which stated that they are strict but still caring parents who will demonstrate their love to children, as well as will set certain restrictions that will help children to grow up as responsible young people.

“In addition, we, together with parents and guardians, were looking for answers to questions about how to apply punishment and encouragement to children of this age, how to establish family rules, solve problems in relationships with children, how to show the love and support”, said a psychologist of Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey, Marina Kochetova.

Summing up the project results, the parents shared their views, saying that such training benefited the family relations, and expressed a desire to participate in the given project in the future. In turn, a certified trainer Zhanna Amanova noted the prospects of the “Strong family” project.

“Parenting is common to all of us. The school can achieve the good results in raising a child only by working jointly with parents. Thanks to your feedback, we see that our project is working. In the future, we will continue this work”, said Zhanna Amanova.

At the end of the event, the parents from 38 families who took part in the project were awarded certificates and discussed the project work conducted at the school with participation of Zhanna Amanova.
