“This is an excellent initiative. This is something I personally advocate as well in educating my child. I have never used the cane on my son and have always used reasoning to explain to him when a behaviour is not acceptable.” ~ Jeslyn Toh
“I fully support what you are doing (the campaign) in advancing the Practice of Parenting. Parenting is a skill that does not necessarily come naturally and which most parents have to grapple with – some grapple with it more (with more challenging kids) and some grapple with it less (with more obedient children). What you have gone through today with us parents is truly a good insight and offered us good parenting tips and plenty of points to ponder. I and am sure the other parents in the talk have benefitted from it and I salute you, Kenny, the parent support group, and EPPS Principal for taking a lead in this campaign. I honestly feel that all schools should invite Kenny to speak to their teacher & parent body. Thank you for this opportunity.” ~ Lenny, mother of 3
“I had attended the workshop by Kenny, which was organised by Elias Park Primary School. It was a very insightful session, and provided me an opportunity to self-reflect as parents. I has decided to implement the non-punitive discipline with immediate effect and will be advocating this practice among our relatives & friends who are parents. Thank you.” ~ BT Koh, father of 3
