He appealed to the parents to monitor their children in their schools to ensure that they were in school and advised them to keep their environment clean to avoid outbreak of diseases.

He called on them to form a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) with school Management Committee so that they could solve problems of their school internally and warned them against internet fraud.

Mr Joseph Mutawakilu Napari, Yendi Assemblies of God Care-Ghana called on parents to let their children be their friends so that they could approach them with their problems.

He said without friendship with their children, they would not take their advice as there was no peace in their homes.
