Making the transition from summer vacation mode to a classroom-ready mindset isn\u2019t always easy. Beyond the excitement of new clothes, new classes and even new friends, children and parents alike can get easily overwhelmed by the changes a new school year brings. So let’s take a dive into planning on guiding your child on how to ace school this year.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Here are six tips that will help your family make this year the best school year yet!<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Stick to a Routine<\/li>\n
  2. Create a Distraction Free Study Area<\/li>\n
  3. Support Homework Independence<\/li>\n
  4. Think Long-Term<\/li>\n
  5. Have a Positive Learning Attitude<\/li>\n
  6. Connect with the Teacher<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Stick to a<\/strong> Routine<\/h4>\n

    Children benefit<\/a> from having a steady routine. Setting a consistent bedtime and wake-up time will ensure that your children are getting enough sleep. If they don\u2019t, concentration and academic performance will suffer. Likewise, having a well-balanced breakfast each morning will ensure that the day starts off on a positive note. If your children spend a lot of time deciding what to wear and preparing their backpack in the morning, add these activities to their nighttime routine.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Create a<\/strong> Distraction Free Study Area <\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Completing homework at the same time each day will help create strong study habits. Establish a location in your home where your children will study and do homework throughout the year. Choose a location where you can keep an eye on them, but still minimize distractions like TV, phone and electronics.\"child<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Support<\/strong> Homework Independence<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Once your children are able to read directions on their own, encourage them to complete their homework assignments by themselves. They may continue to ask for help primarily because they enjoy the parental attention, not because they truly need assistance. Support their independence by encouraging them to work through the problems on their own. When your children do their homework without a reminder, acknowledge their independence to reinforce the positive habit.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Think<\/strong> Long-Term<\/h4>\n

    Children who set long-term goals often have increased motivation<\/a> in school. Setting long-term goals with your children can help connect the relevancy of their daily activities with the future. It is also never too early to develop time management skills. Using time wisely by completing homework and chores efficiently allows children to have more time for fun activities.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Have a Positive<\/strong> Learning Attitude <\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Attitudes are infectious and an integral component to success. Parents who have a positive attitude towards learning and school can excite children with their enthusiasm. Show interest in your children\u2019s studies by asking questions, which can help foster motivation and a positive learning attitude. Remember to reinforce a positive, growth mindset<\/a>. Children who understand that hard-work is more important than natural intelligence are more likely succeed.<\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n

    Connect with the Teacher<\/h4>\n

    Parents who plan an active role in their children\u2019s education by guiding them through how to ace school make a huge difference in their success. Building a relationship with your children\u2019s teachers can help you understand how your children are doing at school and how you can help your children at home. Try to meet with your children\u2019s teachers at the beginning of the school year and set the expectation of working together as a team. Developing a strong, positive partnership with your children\u2019s teachers can help the school year go more smoothly for you and your children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
