School Prep Tips

 Hello ,


As children settle in to school, I'm getting lots of questions from parents about how to support their children throughout the school year. Here are some key ideas that will help you support your child for the next many years.

Above all of these, remember to evaluate what success means to you, and to think carefully about your 
WHOLE child. I've sometimes heard parents say, "School comes first, no matter what," and I question that. What about health? What about learning? What about travel? What about friendship? What about family? Of course, we hope that school promotes ALL of these elements of a child's life, but there will be times when you need to take responsibility for your WHOLE child...times when school can't know or provide the life balance that your child needs. Many of these suggestions address the bigger picture - how school fits into your child's life, rather than how your child's life fits around their school experience.

Enjoy! 

In joy,

 "Race to Nowhere"       Movie Showing     
        Coming Up 
 
This is a great movie that I saw a few years ago about the academic pressure that is placed on children in some school situations. 

It raises some good questions, and opens up an important conversation.

It will be showing in Calgary on Thursday, September 26th, at 6:30 pm. Details here.
