Be Part in your Child's Activities, Hobbies and School


It's probably no secret that children who have involved parents are more happy, healthy, and well-adjusted and excel at their educational and extra curricular pursuing. It can increase their cognitive development,and keeps them more motivated, strengthens the parent-child relationship, and has a direct positive influence on their overall academic achievement.
It help parents achieve a positive view on their parenting skills, increase their own self confidence and self esteem, and will most likely feel more satisfied with their child's educational experience at school.

But when you will be involved? With today's busy schedules between home, work, and school, it may feel that the average family has very little quality time to offer. However, different options and levels of commitment are available to fit every parent's availability, and with some careful planning and dedication, you can make it a positive experience for both yourself and your child.
First of all, discover what your child is most passionate about. what he like the most, music, sport , Art ...etc. and learn more about about you can come up with new ideas and new things to do together.

It's also important to consider what skills, talents and abilities you can bring to the table. Maybe your child's school is in desperate need of your help organizing a fundraiser, but your skills in sewing and designing might better serve the school if you were to help in making the costumes for the school play. Remember, you want this to be a positive experience for both of you, and if your child senses that you're not happy with what you've chosen to become involved in, then they likely will not be happy as well.

But the bottom line is get involved and stay involved. Children of involved parents are less likely to get into mischief, have emotional problems, or have problems in school. You benefit by connecting with and staying connected to your child. It's a win-win situation for you both.
