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 classes 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 encounters. 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 theater 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.
