Small things that help, at home and at school
Practical, non-preachy ideas from our teachers, who see hundreds of children grow up.
Try
- Eat one meal together and ask about the best part of the day.
- Let your child try things on their own, even if it takes longer.
- Read aloud, even once they can read themselves.
- Praise effort and small wins more than marks.
- Talk openly about safe and unsafe touch, so they know they can always tell you.
- Keep to a steady sleep routine on school nights.
- Say “I love you” out loud, often.
Go easy on
- Don’t compare your child with a cousin, a neighbour or a sibling.
- Don’t push non-stop study on a small child; play is also work.
- Don’t argue in front of children. They hear more than you think.
- Don’t give in to every demand, or say no to every question.
- Don’t ignore a change in behaviour. Mention it to the teacher early.
- Don’t speak badly of school or teachers in front of your child.
- Don’t let a screen be the only babysitter.
