Assisting your child in Preschool in Long Island with their homework can be challenging. It makes it even more difficult when there is no desire on the part of the child. This can make parents frustrated and make the experience unappealing for both parties. However, by helping children to study and showing that you are willing to help will instill good habits for the future. By motivating your child to do homework and keep up in their studies, you are helping to build a foundation that they will carry with them through their education experience. It is important to keep in mind that parents are also learning and maybe unfamiliar or weak in the subject being studied. This can actually build confidence for the child because they can start to teach the subject to the parent and in turn they are able to improve their knowledge of the assignment.
Fast forward ten days and now both Jack and Lauren hover around the bus with a gaggle of other slightly-sunburned kids. No one really wanted to say goodbye. After some secret handshakes and a few tears, the two kids return to their mom and give her smelly hugs. "So how was camp?" she asked. Three weeks later and her kids are still referencing camp at least twice every hour. It truly was quite the experience! Jack and Lauren are just two examples of kids who go away to camp and come home with memories and experiences that affect them for a lifetime.
An environment to thrive in At most summer camps, the mental, physical, social, and emotional growth of kids is the main goal. There are reading camps, sports camps, adventure camps, religious camps, you name it. No matter what type of camp it is or who sponsors it, childhood development is at the forefront. Activities ranging from campfire games to kitchen duty to learning survival skills, all encourage qualities like teamwork, responsibility, patience, learning, and growth. This is what camps do.
Breaking Away One of the main reasons summer camps are so effective at encouraging this kind of development, is because camps give children a place and opportunities to be independent (although supervised). Most camps ban cell-phones and encourage kids to focus on the experiences they are having at camp - not the "outside world." Parents aren't hovering and children learn by the example of other campers (as well as camp councilors) and through their own experiences. In effect, they learn how to take charge and own their experiences at camp.
Organize: Have an organization chart which may include a note of the assignment, when it is due, and if completed has it been turned in on time. This will help them to know if they are completing all of their work. Keeping track of the assignments will help students to maintain the coursework for each class.
A preschooler will also need a plastic container or organizer to keep pencils, makers, and crayons in so they don't get lost. Also providing a backpack to keep the supplies in will help them to stay organized, and the teacher can put assignments and finished art projects in the bag. Including an extra pair of clothes is also good in case your child has an accident or spills something on their clothes.
The main idea behind these suggestions is to develop a strategy and then habit that the student can use throughout the school year. Not only will it make the student more organized and get their assignments in on time, but the will perform better in their classes.
