All parents
want their children to do well in school—to learn,
to think for themselves and to get along with others.
There is much we can do to make sure our children will
be ready for school. Giving them consistent, loving care
from the beginning helps them grow physically, mentally
and emotionally.
A child who is ready for school is able to express his
feelings appropriately. He is able to give and receive
help, and he cares about the feelings and needs of others.
He is eager, curious and able to pay attention.
When your child starts school, you can stay involved by
getting to know the teachers and other parents. You can
also volunteer on a school advisory committee or in the
classroom. |

Learning
New Skills
Your child uses many skills to read, write, spell,
count, paint, tell stories, sing and make friends.
Some tasks will be easier for her than others. Encourage
your child to be proud of her skills and be patient
with difficult tasks. If you think your child is
having problems with school, classmates or learning,
talk to her teachers. For information on learning
problems, call National Center for Learning Disabilities
or visit www.ld.org. |
