It’s
Time to Go Back to School! As students throughout
Scioto County return to school, the LCSC would like to offer the following
tips for helping your child succeed in school. ·
Create
an environment that is conducive to doing homework. Youngsters need a
permanent work space in their bedroom or another part of the home that offers
privacy. ·
Set
aside ample time for homework. Be available to answer questions and offer
assistance, but never do a child's homework for her. ·
Establish
a household rule that the TV set stays off during homework time. Be aware of
the shows your child likes to watch and discuss his choices with him/her. The
same goes for video games. ·
Take
steps to help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while
studying. It may be helpful to close the books for a few minutes, stretch,
and take a break periodically when it will not be too disruptive. ·
Encourage
your child to use the library. Ask the librarian to tell your child about
special programs that she might participate in, such as reading programs and
book clubs, and about services such as homework help. ·
Encourage
your child to be responsible and to work independently. Taking responsibility
and working independently are important qualities for school success. ·
Show
an interest in what your child does in school. Support his/her special
interests by attending school plays, musical events, science fairs or
sporting events. ·
ALWAYS
remember to offer praise and encouragement for achievement and improvement. (Sources: American
