Dear Parents,
As the easy days of summer fade away and a new year begins, many families return to a very busy schedule. Why not make a plan to start this school year calmly?
A simple plan that is carefully crafted and followed can provide a family atmosphere that is less hectic and infinitely more life-giving for your child and all members of the family.
A few ideas that may help get you started include:
- Set up routines for your child including a regular time and quiet place for homework.
- Be selective with extracurricular activities for your child. Children can become exhausted if they are “booked” every minute of the day. You will find that cutting back can greatly ease that feeling of always being rushed.
- Don’t feel pressured by others to provide material things for your child. What your child needs is a loving parent.
- Never underestimate the power of the family meal. Try to eat as many meals together as a family as you can.
- Make time to sit down with your child and listen to what your child is saying. I t need only to be a few minutes, but you will be amazed at how much you learn about your child by simply taking the time to listen.
If you commit to the starting the school year with a plan to keep it calm, your child will benefit and the entire family will too!
Sincerely,
Mark J. Monnerat
