​(BPT) - The education 🎓 children receive today will be their lifelong companion. School 🏫 is a crucial part of the learning process, but the enlightenment doesn't halt when the school bell rings 🔔 at the end of the day. "Education 📚 and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 go hand in hand," declares Ellen Marks, curriculum director of Bricks 4 Kidz 🧱, an award-winning 🏆 summer camp and after-school program. "Parents who actively participate in supporting classroom learning will see not only their children's education blooming 🌼, but their bond with them too."
The commencement of the new year 🎉 is a prime time to assess what you're doing right ✔️ and where you could refine to better support your child's learning journey 🚀. Marks puts forward these brilliant ideas 💡 certain to help you stick to this resolution in 2023 and beyond:-------------------------------------------------------------------------> 

  1. Connections to real life 🌎: One of the most effective ways to help kids grasp classroom lessons is to tie the material to daily experiences. Practice fractions ➗ while baking 🧁. Discuss biology 🐦 as birds flutter by the window. Learning opportunities are all around, you just have to highlight them.
  2. Daily conversations 🗣️: With a fun, no-pressure approach, review what your children absorbed in school 🏫. If they are reticent to talk right after school, wait till later. Post-dinner chats may give them enough transition time to open up more.
  3. Positive attitude 😃: Children will mirror your attitude towards your work as well as their school, homework, and teachers. Stay positive 😇, respectful and exemplify resilience during tough times; you'll find they'll follow suit.
  4. Enriching activities 🎨: Opt for enjoyable after-school activities that stimulate cognitive development while bolstering self-esteem. Bricks 4 Kidz, for instance, utilizes LEGO Bricks to impart science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills 🧪🧮💻🏗️. Explore more at www.bricks4kidz.com and enroll in an After School class.
  5. The parent-teacher relationship 👩‍🏫🤝👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: Sending periodic emails, attending meetings, and volunteering are ways to forge strong relationships with teachers. Be proactive about asking where your child excels and what areas they may need extra support.
  6. Homework help 📝: Good study habits are essential for school success. Establish a comfy homework corner with sufficient supplies and minimal distractions. Be an active partner in your child's homework and assist when needed, offering gentle guidance and encouragement.
  7. Reading buddies 📚: Reading together can inspire a lifelong love of literature. Try reading the same books your child is assigned at school to stimulate a lively discussion about characters and storylines. When you both finish the book, rent the film version and host a movie night 🍿🎥.
  8. Active learning opportunities 🎨🧮: Reading, writing, and solving math problems are passive learning activities. At home, stimulate active learning where your child can build models, design art projects, and ask questions. It's awe-inspiring to observe their minds at work and see what they create.
  9. Health and wellness 🥗🛌: A child must first be healthy before they can effectively learn. Ensure kids stay fueled with an array of healthy foods. Then, make sure they get ample sleep. Well-fed, rested kids are happy kids.

    In summary, every aspect of a child's life contributes to their education, from school activities to home life and wellness. By ensuring that our kids are healthy, actively learning, and have support both in and outside the classroom, we can help them reach their fullest potential. 🌟

    So, parents, let's kick off this summer with renewed enthusiasm and commitment to our children's education. Get involved in their learning, support their interests, and maintain an open line of communication with their teachers. The future of our children is in our hands. 💪 #ParentPower #EducationFirst #HappyLearning 🎓📚🌟 Remember to share your experiences and any new ideas in the comments below!
