As some of you may know, we have many new parents among the Presentation High School faculty. Because of their hard work and dedication in educating us, we Pres girls are returning the favor by sharing some of our own advice on what not to say or do to their kids. Trust us, teachers; we know what we’re talking about. Here is what some girls had to say:
“Don’t keep your kid on a child leash. It’s creepy.”
– Kelsey Klosterman, 2012
“Don’t pinch their cheeks on the first day of school.”
– Tiffanie Obilor, 2013
“If they’re not bleeding, they’re fine.”
– Hali Martin, 2012
“Don’t yell at your kids in front of their friends, like if they miss curfew. It’s embarrassing for them and awkward for the friends.”
– Jennifer Fields, 2011
“It’s okay to leave your kid at school after school. There will be stuff for them to do. There’s no need to pick them up right at 2:40.”
– Jocelyn Bailey, 2011
“Don’t force them to sign up for classes, like dance classes and stuff, that they don’t want to do.”
– Carolyn DiLoreto, 2014
“No wooden spoons!”
– Caitlin Stockwell, 2012
“Please. You aren’t supposed to actually get an answer when you ask your kids how their day was.”
– Bianka Mariles, 2013
“Dads! Learn how to brush your daughters’ hair. They will kick and scream if you brush it wrong. Start from the bottom and go up.”
– Shannon Foster, 2012
“Don’t give your kids embarrassing nicknames… those come back to haunt them.”
– Juliann Larese, 2012
