Summer break has rapidly drawn to a close and "back to school" sales abound. Notebooks, backpacks, lunch containers and school clothes top the list in the effort to prepare school children for their return to classes this fall.
As parents we have much to do with our children's successful approach to school and learning. Here are some tips to help your child prepare for another year of school:
• Be excited with them about the new school year.
• Help them look forward to their classes.
• Help them look forward to meeting their new teachers.
• Help them anticipate friendships with their classmates, who are now three months older than when they last saw them at school.
• Encourage your child's involvement in as many extra-curricular activities as he or she can do.
• Encourage them to exercise leadership appropriately.
• Show interest in their classes.
• Ask them about the experiences and lessons they learn each day.
• Encourage them to choose good friends.
• Invite their friends to your home so you can meet and enjoy their company as well.
• Give them appreciation for their efforts and commend them for exceptional work.
• Encourage them to remember that they are Christians who ought to live God's way of life.
• Help them be proud of their physical and spiritual families.
• Pray for your child that he or she will not absorb the worldliness that is in the school system as he or she strives to retain godly values in life.
I'm sure you will be able to add to this list. May your child have a great school year and may it will provide a foundation for his or her future educational experiences and ultimately for life! UN
