Routines For Learning...

It is well known that when parents get involved in their child's learning, children are more successful.  You can help your child to get off to a good start by creating these routines or habits at home.

• Remind your child of the rules such as- reading or do your chores before play or television. This shows them that learning is a top priority.  Make sure they have a comfy place to read or draw that is safe and a place of their own.
• Make time to look at their papers/work that they bring home from school or child care.  Put important dates on your calendar.  This shows them that they are important to you.
• Try to eat dinner together.  Take time to ask your child what one new thing they learned that day.  It might make for some interesting table conversation.  Try to have the television off to better encourage conversations!
