What is the best gift for a teacher?
Truly, it is what so many of our Maple Lake parents give every single day. It is your investment in your child.
The Love and Logic Newsletter this week was about how your parenting is the best gift you can give a teacher at any time of the year.
From their newsletter, here are a few specific ways to raise a child who is respectful, responsible, and eager to learn:
* Make sure that your kids overhear you saying positive things about their school and their teachers.
* Ensure that they are doing chores without reminders at home, so that they know how to do assignments without reminders at school.
* Allow very little time with technology, including video games, texting, surfing the web, watching videos, television, etc. These activities make it more difficult for children to remain calm and content at school.
* Have family meals together, where you enjoy each other and talk about all of the things you have learned during the day.
THANK YOU to the wonderful parents here in Maple Lake who make this investment day after day. Your teacher gift is my favorite!
