You may feel pressure to have your child go to preschool even before he or she can talk. There is a culture of schooling that is spreading all around the United States, but is it actually worth it? Not only are most preschools expensive but there are many things that you can do with your child that can actually reinforce their education much better than a teacher ever could. Here are some ideas for parents who want to help get their kids ready for school or better yet, life.
Teach by Example
Too many kids are going through life being raised off electronics and few have the opportunity to go to something like Stony Brook Summer Day Camp. Sending your children to Stony Brook Summer Camp will teach them more than they could ever learn sitting in front of a television.
Teach your child an instrument
Every kid should experience bedtime stories. Children's books are filled with adventures, faraway lands, exciting characters, and important lessons. As you read to your kids, be expressive! Change your voice for different characters and dramatize excitement, sadness, confusion, and other emotions. As they get older, run your fingers along the words so the kids will become familiar with the shapes of different words. Have them repeat the words after you, or whisper the story in their ear and let them tell it out loud. If you read the same story over and over, start familiar sentences and let the kids repeat the end from memory.
Once you have the right learning environment, you should re-evaluate it on a regular basis to see if it's something that will work for you over the long haul. Many times you will find that your current classes demand more of you and for that reason, you need to change your learning environment.
Even if they are toddlers, if you take them out on the farm or up the mountains with you, you can be sure that they will learn and feel much more. This could be great bonding time for you and them as well. Make sure that you are willing to take the time to be with them and don't leave them trekking alone.
Go to the Library
You will get a considerable amount of usefulness out of these devices. Their cost makes owning them for the purpose of their inclusion in a learning environment cost-prohibitive. You might also get distracted from their presence in your learning environment. You have to find ways to manage your time to decrease these possibilities.
Do homeschool with other families
Many schools, cities, and organizations offer festivals and camps that celebrate reading and writing. For example, Stony Brook Summer Camp and Stony Brook Day Camp provide wonderful opportunities for kids to learn and grow. Help your children participate and benefit from the example, skills, and knowledge of many different teachers.
You could be someone who learns best from taking notes while sitting in a classroom; however, it's not something that you should stick with if you're not seeing immediate results. There's nothing wrong with changing how you approach the situation before it has the potential to derail all the progress you have made thus far.
