The Minister of State and Government Communicator, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has urged parents and guardians to provide the necessary moral guidance and support to help children mature into responsible and disciplined adults.
Delivering a speech on his behalf at the 6th Speech and Prize-Giving Day of North Hill International School (NIS) in North Legon, Accra, Kwakye Ofosu emphasized that parents, teachers, and society at large are critical stakeholders in shaping the character of children, particularly in their formative years.
Speaking on the theme "Discipline: The Bridge Between Dreams and Reality," the Minister noted that early childhood is a crucial period where good habits, positive behaviors, and strong character are built-foundations that influence future choices and success in life. "At this stage, children learn essential skills including verbal and nonverbal communication, social interaction, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and creativity," he said, adding that instilling discipline serves as a guiding light as children grow into adulthood.
In her address, the Principal of North Hill International School, Emma Coleman Opoku, reaffirmed the school's unwavering commitment to academic excellence.
