School Can Be Fun!
8/18/2008
School’s starting soon! Are you excited about it? Are your kids ready for a new school year – eager to get started in their new grade with new teachers? Parents, do your kids love to learn and have an enthusiastic interest in life? Child researchers tell us that this may be the most important factor to ensure your child’s success in school. A child who is fully and completely involved in learning, not just about school but about everything, is a child who will find school interesting, fun and important. Here are some ways to build excitement and anticipation about school into your home life.
1. Focus on positive things about school. Be eager and enthusiastic about each school day.
2. Help your child to have a positive attitude about homework. When projects are assigned, be enthusiastic about the assignment and help your child to be eager to learn more about it.
3. As your child’s parent you can make a big deal about how fun it is to learn something new. Kids will catch YOUR attitude about learning – if YOU love it and speak enthusiastic and encouraging words about their school – your kids will soon catch on.
And remember this: if you dread school, anticipate problems in school, and speak discouraging words about homework and assignments, your kids will learn that attitude. Enthusiasm for learning is something that can’t be taught – but it can sure be caught!
