SCHOOL OF LIFE.
What SNAP taught me is that SNAP was not for the kids… … but for us, the “adults” the parents.
One may think and assume that going to SNAP, we will learn techniques to mould our kids and teach them how to listen and be obedient, and maybe even have them on auto pilot mode thanks to SNAP techniques, but it couldn’t be further than the truth.
Not after a day or a week, and not even now, after 13 weeks do I know how to react to every situation, but it is a long journey of learning; and I will use what I learnt here, what we agreed/disagreed on and debated about; to help me navigate through the rollercoaster of parenting.
I will end it by saying, if I reach the point of consequencing than I have failed, but it does not mean that I have lost the war. I will learn how to communicate and show how to be consistent, so my son, not through my words but through my actions, becomes a strong, respectable honourable man - a dream of every parent.
