School is a full-time job for your
children, with many opportunities. Be sure they take advantage of the varied
offerings.
Encourage them to get involved with
extracurricular activities, sports, or community volunteering.
After school programs, enrichment
or accelerated courses, provide year-round opportunities for growth and
challenge.
Becoming as involved as possible will
serve children well after graduation and will also make their school
experiences more enjoyable.
Students will have the chance to
get to know teachers, coaches, and school staff members outside of structured
class situations. Those connections can help make school more enjoyable and
less stressful.
Allow children to have fun and give
their best effort, without necessarily striving for perfection.
The teamwork learned in sports, at
student council functions, in theatre groups or clubs, can help in employment
and community activities in the future.
If your children show a special
interest or a certain skill, see what’s available to satisfy their curiosity.
A full-time job comes with ample
responsibilities, rewards, and opportunities. That is the case with children’s
schooling as well.
Encourage your children to take
advantage of all that’s offered.
