small medium large ***How to Equip Your Children for the School Year...*** Motivating Your Kids.... Parental involvement can be a huge factor in academic and social improvement in middle school. Here are some tips: Quality Time- Create "drop everything and read" (DEAR) times when family can sit down and read uninterrupted. Set aside family time each week on your calendar. Reading- Help your children start their own library of books. Take your children to the library, help them get their own library cards and check out books regularly. Self Esteem- Let your kids overhear you praising them to others. Try "King/Queen for a Day" for good report cards. Motivation- Children need the "Four A's": Attention, Appreciation, Affection and Acceptance. Responsibility- Teach children to take responsibility for their choices. Reinforce Learning- For example: Encourage kids to collect things. Test their math skills by helping devise grocery and travel estimates.
