BACK TO SCHOOL

Either is for the first time you are sending you child to school or if your child is going back to school tables after summer vacations you should help them getting used to going to school.

Present school to your kids in a positive way - place where they can play with friends, learn new things, play sport, ... make it sound good so they will be excited about school.

There are few things that are really important for your kids to do the best at school. Breakfast is one of the most important things so make it sure you include it into every day. It gives kids (and us) the energy to learn and play. Wake up and share breakfast with your kids as a family.

Make it sure your child get enought of sleep to and it is rested for a new day full of challenges. But don;t skip the breakafst for that but rather create a sleep routine at the same time every night.

Routine helps kids to stay on track. If you put it on the piece of paper so kids can see ti every day you will notice that kids will follow it and will know excatly what to do before school, after school,.. thay will also learn about organization of time and tasks. So put a task list in a visible place at your home, us colors and pictures and write down tasks your kids should follow like get dress, do the homework, brush your teeth, ..

One of the most important and special routines should be family time together after school when everybody gets home. That should be a time for family activities, hanging out as a family and talking about what happened durring the day. Help your children with their homework, have some fun with them, ask questions, listen, be proud,...



WISH YOUR CHILD A GOOD DAY EVERY MORNING BEFORE THEY GO TO SCHOOL

KIDS AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES

I am from a little country called Slovenia. I know many people don't even know where it is so let me give you little orentation. Slovenia is a neighbor country to Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungry and it is located in the heart of Europe.

We speak slovenian in my home country and for us learning other languages became a part of life. World is getting smaller and smaller and more and more conected. And from business level knowing more languages in Europe is almost at the top of the list for getting good jobs.

I know you are fortunate if you speak english that most people around the world understand. Expecialy younger generations start with their english lessions early in primary schools this days. But even though most of the kids speaking english will never need to use other languages I still think knowing one or more foreign languages is a plus for anybody.

I strongly recomend introducing atleast one foreign language to your kids. No matter the age of the kids they are usually fast in learning foreign languages. For those parents who have babies at home start with a foreign language from start while you teaching them your own native language. Babies will learn it naturally just like walking, talking, dancing, and other things.

There are many good materials available everywhere from book stores, library, online, in schools,... and I can asure you learning a foreign language for kids is much easier than learning it when you are an adult. But use this and learn a foreign language with your child.

The best thing is to find a native speaker - that is the most affective way of leanirng a language -it is like your child would go to other country and they can also bring culture from their home country to your kids. But also a friend or family member who speaks a foreign language can help for a start. You can decide to teach your kid a language on your own or sing up for classes or you can hire a babysitter that talks foreign language. There are many ways to give your child a gift of knowing one more language out there if you really want it.

The most important thing is make learning a foreign languages FUN. Envolve other kids, buy some cute books, make posters, try finding some songs,... YOU CAN DO IT.

EMPOWER KIDS

I think that every parent out there wants to offer the best education for the kids - in and out of school. This days there is so much opportunities for that everywhere and some things are really amazing.


I found one website of a company that has really good products and I want to share it with all of you. It is about empowering kids for a healthy financial future. Kids and money are my favorite topics to talk about beside tennis and this website has a focus on teaching kids how to succeed. It gives you different products that can help you with money education for your kids from piggy banks, books, allowance chart,.. It also has a cute factor what always helps with kids.


The new e-book they are promoting is about The Power of Earning that can teach your kid how to open, run and operate their own business. Maybe some people think that business orintated education is not really for kids but i think that they can only gain from it personaly.


So here is a another good link for all interested in kids education http://www.prosperity4kids.com/ProsperityMail.shtml
