Preparing Your
Child for School
There is a growing
awareness of the importance for
the learning that begins in the
years before a child starts school.
Current educational research supports
the theory that educational development
occurs as the result of interaction
between the preschool child and
the environment. Children four through
five should participate in activities
for learning basic skills for reading,
writing, math and language in order
to be ready for school.

Building Self-Esteem
| Give Your
Child FLAC: |
| .... Foundation
for Self-Esteem: |
| .... Love
and Comfort: |
| .... Attention:
Ttalking, Laughter, Touching,
Hugging, Care - Physical and
emotional. |
| .... Communication:
Tell them what you expect from
him or her. |
Self-Esteem is
an important valuable commodity
that can make or break a child'sopportunities
for success in school and in life.
It is a significant determinant
of achievement and performance,
regardless of a child's socio-economis
status, IQ, or race. Importantly,
self-esteem is a learned characteristic,
not an inherent one. Children
learn self confidence; they are
not born with or without it. Wise
parents can and will take every
step possible to ensure that their
children develop characteristics
of healthy self-esteem in the
early years. According to many
studies, a child's self-esteem
is developed by age ten.

A Literacy Environment
There is no other
skill as important to academic success
as reading. To become good readers,
children need to have a good background
in language development and need
to develop an interest in reading.
Most children do not do this on
their own. Parents are the important
link between the child and the books.
The more the parent encourages reading
and literacy behavior in the home,
the more likely the child will find
reading easy and pleasurable. A
parent's task is to develop habits
in young children that help them
become successful readers.

TV or Me? Who's
in Control?
American children
watch more TV per day, on the average,
than children in most countries.
TV in not all bad, but too much
TV can affect academic performance,
influence values, ethics, and the
way children view life. Additionally,
spending too much time in front
of the TV set takes away from other,
more productive and beneficial recreational
activities. Parents can take charge
by becoming aware of the amount
of time their children spend watching
TV, the content of programming,
and than taking steps to teach children
to become discriminate TV viewers.
the gosl is to control TV instead
of letting the TV control you.
