My boyfriend and I really stress the importance of school and doing your absolute best that you can. I know our children are young, ages 6 and 3..but we feel that putting a stress on what we expect this early, stays with them for a life-time.
So if you have children who will be going back to school, sit down with them and talk with them about how important thier education is. With an education, you can go far later on in life. Everything that you do now, will affect you in the future. Let's be real though, kids are kids. Kids still need to have fun. I am a big kid myself, so believe me..I know how to have fun. But when it comes to school (behaving, making good grades, completeing homework), that should always comes first. Then play time =)
My kid's father always tells our oldest (6 years old), that his ONLY job is to do well in school. Oh and to protect his younger sister ;)
With all this said, please..if you're a mommy as I am and you are reading this..if you get anythign out of this, it's the importance to stress how IMPORTANT your child's education is. Work hard means to play hard, right?
Also, I think its great to get children involved in activities outside of school that they have interest in. That builds charachter, emphasizes in team work, sportmanship, and they feel really great about themselves. They make great friends that way too!!
My son has professed a love interest in basketball, so as of now, I have been looking into a fall basketball league to enroll him in. And my little princess...my 3 year old, she LOVES to dance..so I am looking into ballet classes for her. Its all about WORKING HARD and PLAYING HARD!!
Get to know your child and thier interests. Listen to them. Talk with them. Have a GREAT year filled with learning and fun!!
xoxo, Courtney
