Social skills help your child get along in school One of the best indicators of children's future school success is their ability to interact in positive ways with others. Class discussions, group projects and activities all require students to work with one another. To reinforce social skills at home, role-play being friendly, honest and an attentive listener with your child. Teach your student to be a good sport. Encourage teamwork by having your child participate in family projects, such as preparing a meal. https://tpitip.com/?14lR17376

Shared interests improve communication As children grow, their interests change. To maintain a connection, families need to find new ways to talk, listen and be with their kids. One effective way is to find an interest you and your child share: woodworking, fishing, playing board games, baking, etc. Whatever it is, make time to do it together. Communication will flow easily when you both can share in and discuss an enjoyable activity. https://tpitip.com/?14lQ17376

Calm explanations improve behavior better than scolding It's important to make it clear when your child has misbehaved. Understanding what they did wrong is how children learn. But nothing is accomplished by getting upset and losing your temper. For more effective discipline, try this three-step process: 1. Calmly describe the behavior that is unacceptable. 2. Say how it makes you feel when your child does that. 3. Explain why the behavior isn't allowed. https://tpitip.com/?14lP17376

Talk about freedoms on Bill of Rights Day December 15 is Bill of Rights Day in the United States. On this day in 1791, the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution were ratified. They became known as the Bill of Rights. Talk with your child about the freedoms this document grants. For example, the First Amendment protects freedom of speech and freedom of religion. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial by jury. https://tpitip.com/?14lO17376

A systematic approach can help your child read and remember Your child will read many textbooks and nonfiction sources in a school career. To foster success with reading to learn, encourage your child to preview the text by reading the main headings and scanning the pictures. Next, your student should read the introduction, summary and any questions that follow the passage. Then your child can read the main text in short sections, making sure to understand each section before moving on. https://tpitip.com/?14lN17376

Strong writing starts with pre-writing Pre-writing is an important first step in the writing process. It's when students think about what they are going to write and who the audience is. To help your student develop pre-writing skills, provide access to a variety of reading materials. Encourage your child to take notes on the topic and to brainstorm ideas. Listen and make suggestions. If your child gets stuck when beginning to write, suggest going back and pre-writing some more. https://tpitip.com/?14lM17376

Mistakes are the beginning of learning Everyone makes mistakes. But when mistakes are viewed negatively, kids learn to fear failure. This makes them less likely to take positive risks or finish things they don't think they can do perfectly. When your child makes a mistake, stay calm and discuss what can be learned from it. In general, try to focus more of your attention on the things your child does right rather than on mistakes. https://tpitip.com/?14lL17376
