Educationist Hon. Dr. Paul K. Wanjohi, Managing Director of Sharp Education Centre and Junior School, has called on parents to take a leading role in nurturing discipline, integrity, and positive behavior in their children during the long December holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the launch of his newly released book, \u201cThe Fruits of Good Discipline,\u201d, Dr. Wanjohi reminded parents that character formation begins at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cChildren learn more from what we do than from what we tell them,\u201d he said. \u201cParents must therefore be intentional in modeling the values they wish to see in their children.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He also appealed to parents and guardians to remain vigilant during the festive season, observing that young people today face rising exposure to harmful online content, peer influence, and risky behaviors. He emphasized that open communication, family bonding, and guidance remain vital in helping children make wise decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp Education Centre and Junior School, located in the Kayole\u2013Komarock area of Embakasi, Nairobi, was established in 2005 to provide quality, affordable, and accessible education to families in the Embakasi region. The school has since grown into one of the most reputable private institutions in the area, offering a strong blend of academics, values, and life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the book review session at the launch, Sir Duncan Arimi, the CEO of Gravity CBC Centre with campuses along the Eastern Bypass and Lang\u2019ata, lauded Dr. Wanjohi\u2019s work and educational philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDr. Paul Wanjohi is a book by himself \u2014 to be read, studied, and emulated,\u201d said Sir Arimi. \u201cHis deep understanding of discipline and child development is evident not only in his writings but in his lifelong service to education and humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sir Arimi further noted that Dr. Wanjohi, who serves as the Secretary to the Board of Management of Gravity CBC Centre, has contributed significantly to national education policy. His position paper on Mathematics this year guided the Ministry of Education in its decision to make Mathematics a compulsory subject in Senior School. Under this policy, STEM pathway learners will take Pure Mathematics, while Social Sciences and Sports pathway learners will take Essential Mathematics as a mandatory course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education reporters covering the event described Dr. Wanjohi as a strong advocate for children\u2019s rights, especially in ensuring that every child has access to affordable, quality education. They highlighted his leadership roles, including serving as the National Treasurer of the Unified APBET Schools Association of Kenya (UASA), where he helps strengthen collaboration among private and alternative education providers, and as the National Chairman of the Tunza Mtoto Coalition, an NGO dedicated to promoting children\u2019s welfare through advocacy and community empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Fruits of Good Discipline,\u201d described by many as a timely gift to the nation, is recommended for learners aged ten years and above. It has been praised for its relatable lessons on discipline, responsibility, and moral growth \u2014 values that resonate deeply with parents, educators, and young readers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
