4PA & IQuest: Friday Enrichment
LEGO Engineering Wednesdays
Note from the Director
Thanks to those of you who donated to the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts! Its exciting to be part of a community that cares.
The first month of School is almost over. And for some of us, figuring our what to do with the kids after school is our biggest challenge. At IQuest, we, as parents ourselves, understand that each child and each parent/family has a different need. Some children will require additional academic support, whether in Math, Language Arts, Reading, or other areas. Others simply require additional enrichment activities, such as art, or exposure to a foreign languages, in a fun, wholesome environment. Other children require motivation and/or just some help to complete their homework. And our children all need some downtime to relax and play. IQuest understands and caters to each of these needs. We are a one-stop resource providing a variety of services for the community of children we serve. Stop by and say hello. Come find out more about our programs. Enjoy the end of September!
To Have a Great School Year, Help Your Child Develop a Growth Mindset
1. Use process praise.
You can praise hard work, good learning strategies, and perseverance.
2. Model the growth mindset.
Talk about the hard work and strategies needed to achieve success Talk to your children about the mistakes you’ve made and what you’ve learned from them. Teach them that failure is nothing to be afraid of.3. Teach children the brain is like a muscle.
Every time we learn something new, the brain changes by forming new neural connections. The brain gets stronger with training, just like a muscle. Researchers have found that this simple but vivid analogy helps students learn the growth mindset and achieve better results at school.
