Die “Perfekte” Ouers Karla van Biljon

“…maak nie saak wat jy doen of nie gedoen het nie – jy speel ‘n kritiese rol in jou kinders se groei en ontwikkeling…” “…Om onsself as ouers met hierdie ideale sosiale prentjie te vergelyk is fataal en dit lei tot die wanpersepsie dat ek in my rol as ouer misluk het…”

As ouers word ons gebombardeer met boeke en die media oor hoe die “perfekte” ouer lyk. Ons het die vermoë om onsself op verskeie maniere te kritiseer. Ons voel skuldig as werk of sosialisering ons weerhou om genoeg tyd saam met ons kinders te spandeer.

Verdere druk word op ons geplaas deur skole, familie en vriende oor wat die “regte” goed is om te doen, te wees en te sê.

Om onsself as ouers met hierdie ideale sosiale prentjie te vergelyk is fataal en dit lei tot die wanpersepsie dat ek in my rol as ouer misluk het. Wanneer jy as ouers ‘n oomblik neem om te kyk na daardie spesifieke aksie wat maak dat jy jouself as ‘n “slegte” ouer beskou, sal jy sien dat selfs daardie aksie ook jou kind gehelp het.

Elke persoon het ‘n balans van ondersteuning en uitdagings nodig om tot hulle volle potensiaal te groei. As

‘n kind net ondersteuning kry, heeldag hoor hoe oulik hulle is en met alles gehelp word, gaan hulle nooit leer om iets op hulle eie te doen nie. Maar as ‘n kind nou weer net een na die ander uitdaging kry, sal die kind deur die uitdagings oorrompel word en nooit selfvertroue bou nie. ‘n Kombinasie van gelyke ondersteuning én uitdagings bevorder ideale omstandigehde vir groei.

So in plaas daarvan om te dink dat jou kinders verwaarloos word terwyl jy werk, sien eerder hoe jy hulle deur jou afwesigheid help om onafhanklik te word, en om in volwassenheid en selfwaarde te groei.

Stop en vra vir jouself hoe jou elke optrede en aksies jou kinders help? Jy sal vining ontdek: maak nie saak wat jy doen of nie gedoen het nie – jy speel ‘n kritiese rol in jou kinders se groei en ontwikkeling.

Om verdere vertroue te bou en sekerheid te kry in jou rol as ouer, kom woon die Familie Werkswinkel by waar ons saam as ouers leer hoe ons elke optrede ons kinders gedien het.

FAMILIE DINAMIKA WERKSWINKEL Aangebied deur Karla van Biljon (Teologiese Meestersgraad in Kinder Spiritualiteit, RSG Oordenkings, TV Program aanbiedings en opgeleide DeMartini Metode Fasiliteerder)

22 Maart en 19 April 19 April Protea Hotel, Durbanville Protea Hotel, Durbanville Wil jy graag kommunikasie in jou familie verbeter en elke een in die gesin help om tot hulle volle potensiaal te ontwikkel?

Kom leer saam tydens die werkswinkel, deur middel van The Demartini Method: • Om konflik in die familie te hanteer • Om mekaar se waardes te verstaan en te respekteer • Om in terme van mekaar se waardes te kommunikeer Vir meer inligting kontak: Karla van Biljon - vanbiljonkarla@yahoo.co.za

AWSUM Kombuis 4 APRIL 2014

Skaapland More than just your local butcher Life without delicious, gorgeous foods would be completely dull without any flavours to look forward to for dinner.

One of the main questions asked within the industry is: What foods make you fat?

There are many myths that people are made to believe with regards to eating and living healthy.

Our answer to this question is: Natural fats that come from animals, vegetables and even fruits are exactly what the human body requires to function fantastically without fail. The intake of these fat groups provides the body with the correct nutrients, vitamins, proteins and minerals to prevent flu for example.

The main key is to consume everything in moderation.

Here follows a high protein and LOW natural fat recipe:

Parsley Parsley is slightly peppery and bright herb.

There are two main varieties of parsley curly leaf and flat leaf. Curly leaf is probably the most recognizable, as restaurants often use it as a garnish on their plating, but both varieties are widely used in cooking.

Health benefits of Parsley:

Parsley is a great source of vitamin C, calcium, iron and fiber. Raw parsley also acts as a breath freshener and has antiinflammatory properties.

How to Use Parsley in Your Cooking:

Because of its light scent and fresh taste, parsley can be used in anything from soups to sauces to vegetables.

Tips with Parsley: 1. To store parsley, rinse with cool water and then wrap in a slightly damp paper towel in a resealable plastic bag and keep in the fridge.

2. Infuse your homemade dressing with chopped parsley for maximum flavor while you’re putting together a salad.

3. You can dry your fresh parsley by tying a bunch together and hanging it upside down in a cool, dry place. When the parsley is completely dry, remove the stems and store the dried leaves in an airtight container. You can also dry out your parsley in a slightly warm oven or in a dehydrator.

Gr 2 Uitstappie - Volstruisplaas Op Donderdag, 20 Maart, was die opwinding voelbaar onder die graad 2’s. Dis uitstappie tyd en hul is oppad Volstruisplaas toe. Groot was hul verbasing toe hul hoor dat, elkeen wat wil, ‘n geleentheid het om op ‘n volstruis te kan sit. Selfs die juffrouens het ‘n beurt gekry. Die kinders het die volstruise gevoer, geleer van die verskil tussen mannetjies en wyfies, verskillende tipe volstruise en hul het sowaar op volstruis-eiers gestaan. Na die toer was dit pure kinderpret op die klimrame, swaaie en in die sandpit. Hier het hul verbeelding vrye teuels gekry. Wat ‘n lekker ontspanne, opvoedkundige dag was dit nie!

Landsdiens – Bergie-aand

Vrydagaand, 7 Maart, het ongeveer 40 lede van die Landsdiens ‘n bergie-aand gehad. Elkeen moes sy eie beskutting, van karton boks tot tent, bring en dan uitkamp op die rugbyveld.

Op die vooraand van Biblioteekweek het Wendy Maartens, bekende skrywer, die leerders en personeel van Laerskool Welgemoed toegespreek oor die wonderwêreld van lees, boeke en stories en dit met voorbeelde uit haar boeke toegelig. Verder het sy ook leerders aangemoedig om te droom en daarna te streef om drome waar te maak. Sy het verduidelik dat ouer mense soos dik boeke met baie stories is en hulle aangesê om hulle oumas en oupas te vra om vir hulle meer te vertel oor hulle ondervindings en vroeëre ervarings. Daarna was almal baie lus vir lees en het flink boeke gekoop.

Caring Attitude at Blessie Land

During Care Week this term, Welgemoed Primary once again supported Môresterretjies, the farm school situated on the farm, Morgenster. The children on Welgemoed Primary donated clothes, toys, art supplies and books for the children at Môresterretjies. Many little eyes twinkled with joy at the sight of their new toys, whilts the burden of purchasing essential items was lessened for the parents of these little children.

Wynand Oberholzer skryf oor sy ervaring:

Ons Graad 5’s het van die 19de tot die 21ste Februarie by Jonkershoek gaan kamp. Ons was so opgewonde toe ons daar aankom, want dit was ‘n wonderlike plek! Die swembad het heerlik gelyk om inte swem, maar ons moes eers ‘n aktiwiteit doen voor ons kon swem. Die volgende dag het ons in die berge gaan stap en baie nuwe dinge geleer. Die hindernisbaan was vir my die heel lekkerste, want dit was so lekker om in die modder te kruip. In die aand het ons gebraai en toe ek weer kyk is ons kamp verby!

Menseregtedag

Die Leerderraad van Laerskool Welgemoed het hulle deel gedoen om Menseregtedag te bevorder! Hulle het sewe regte gekies en vrolike plakkate gemaak om die ouers en leerders te laat “smile” en aan te moedig om dankbaar te wees vir hierdie regte. Die reg vir onderrig, ‘n huis, ‘n familie, vriende, voedsel, gesondheid en veiligheid is beklemtoon.

Gr. 7 kamp

During the week of 10 – 14 March the Grade 7 learners of Gene Louw Primary School, once again, had the opportunity to experience Oudtshoorn for a week: accumulating memories!

The excitement was tangible when the Grade 7’s, each class dressed in their uniquely designed camp T-shirts, left on the Monday morning. The 223 learners

resided at the beautiful De Hoek Mountain Resort, 25km outside Oudtshoorn. For many of the learners it was their first visit to places such as the Cango Caves, Cango Wildlife Ranch and the Sahara Ostrich Show Farm. This, along with fun activities such as canoeing, archery, camel riding and swimming, all formed part of their busy programme. The learners described the camp as “the highlight of their primary school careers”.

This one is for ALL the ladies!!

On the 26th of March our Franchisee, Erika van Wyk, made us come to work for the day without make-up. We had a good chuckle at each other and had great fun posing for our selfies! We also nominated the Rawson Head Office ladies to do the same!

But just taking your selfie is not enough, the Pink Drive association don’t just only need awareness, they also need the funds. We encourage each of you to join in the fun and post a “selfie” of yourself, with no make-up, on Facebook and sms “PINKDRIVE” to 40158 like we’ve done to donate your R20! LADIES this is a nomination from the Girls at Rawson Durbanville Elite to get your photo and donation out there and nominate more ladies to get involved in the fun as well. The Guys are also MORE than welcome to contribute a donation to the Pinkdrive, as they need all the help they can get to reach their target of Two Million Rand.

Follow Pinkdrive on Facebook and stay ahead of all the great pictures and news they have to share: https://www.facebook.com/ThePinkDrive
