Hafnarfjörður parents doing well

84% of children in grades 8–10 in Hafnarfjörður find it easy to talk about personal matters with their parents, 94% feel care and warmth from them, and 89% receive advice about schoolwork. This can be seen in the results of Rannsóknir og greining, recently published, a survey carried out among our young people last spring. There it can be seen that 79% of teenagers are often or almost always with their parents on weekends.

Jóna Rán Pétursdóttir, the new prevention representative for Hafnarfjörður, praises Hafnarfjörður parents in an article in Fjarðarfréttir today.

“Parents in Hafnarfjörður are generally attentive in their children’s upbringing. Parents eat dinner with their children, they usually know where they are and know their friends,” she says there. In recent days Jóna Rán has presented the results to school administrators.

“92% of parents of 10th graders know their children’s friends, and 94% of parents of 9th graders and 96% of parents of 8th graders. These are excellent numbers,” she says.
