Our Prevention and Early Intervention team started with their three-day (25-27 June) Behaviour Modification Programme.
On the first day, we invited the parents to share what problems they are encountering with their children. Our team tried to establish whether the child’s behaviour can be attributed to a teenage phase, uncontrollable behaviour or criminal behaviour. Our team also shared vital tips to assist parents in handling their child’s behaviour better.
On the second day of the programme we invited speakers from different departments including Mrs. Khan from the Children’s Court, Mr. Gelderbloem from Kidstop, AO Kritzinger (“Big Show”) and Mandy and Mario from DSD to talk to our children between the ages of 8 and 16 years old.
Our guest speakers specifically focused on emphasising what happens to teenagers who are involved in criminal activities, what juvenile crimes and what factors play a role, e.g., such as bullying etc. The last session will include the parents and children.
