Learning to work with and get along with others
contributes to children's success in school
*GIVE YOUR CHILD A LOT OF ATTENTION AND ENCOURAGMEN. SET ASIDE TO TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD TO DO ENJOYABLE THINGS TOGETHER THIS WILL MAKE YOUR CHILD FEEL GOOD ABOU THEMSELVES.
*SET GOOD EXAMPLES. SHOW YOUR CHILD WHAT IT MEANS TO GET ALONG WITH OTHER CHILDREN. TEACH YOUR CHILD WHAT IS RESPECTFUL AND TREAT YOUR CHILD WITH RESPECT. AS A PARENT SAY "PLEASE" AND "THANK YOU" WHEN YOU TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE OR YOUR CHILD. SHOWING YOUR CHILD YOU CARE WILL HELP YOUR CHILDS MANNERS AND RESPECTFUL ACTIONS TOWARD OTHERS
* HELP YOUR CHILD FIND THEIR OWN WAY TO SOLVE CONFLICTS. HELP HIM KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN HE/ SHE GETS ANGRY AND HIT ANOTHER PLAYMATE. IF A CHILD IS NOT GETTING ALONG WITH ANOTHER CHILD, SIMPLY WARN YOUR CHILD THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY ANY MORE IF THEY KEEP MISBEHAVING. TAKE THE TOY AWAY UNTIL THEY ARE READY TO PLAY WITH IT CORRECTLY. THIS WILL TEACH CHILDREN THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE BECAUSE THEY WILL THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
* ALWAYS ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO TELL THE TEACHER WHEN THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. TAKING THINGS IN THEIR OWN HANDS COULD CAUSE THEM TO GET INTO TROUBLE.
* MAKE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR CHILD TO SHARE AND CARE. LET YOUR CHILD TAKE CHARGE OF A FUN ACTIVITY, SUCH AS; FEEDING BIRDS IN A LOCAL PARK, HAVE YOUR CHILD HELP YOU MAKE COOKIES FOR A NEW FAMILY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
* BE AFFECTIONATE TOWARD YOUR CHILD. CHILDREN NEED HUGS, KISSES, AN ARM OVER THIER SHOULDER AND A PAT ON THEIR BACK
* TELL YOUR CHILD YOU LOVE THEM. DON'T ASSUME THEY KNOW THIS AND THINK THAT YOUR ACTIONS WILL SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. THEY NEED TO HEAR YOU SAY IT TO THEM EVERYDAY.
