Parents Corner
Develop family habits that emphasize and support learning
1. Let your child know you are interested in what they are learning in school by asking about their day.
2. Encourage your child's talents even if it is not what you think they should focus on.
3. Ask for your child's opinions. This will develop trust as your child grows older.
4. Plan family projects.
5. Let your child know that learning is important often.
