Ask your child to teach you technology skills
Young people are great at picking up the latest technology. And it reinforces their skills when they teach them to others. So, when you are working on the computer or using a new app, ask your child to help you (even if you know what you're doing). Watch closely. If your child does something clever, ask, "Can you show me how you do that?" Your child will gain confidence and you may learn some useful skills.

Pídele a tu hijo que te enseñe habilidades tecnológicas
Los jóvenes son muy buenos a la hora de aprender las últimas tecnologías y refuerzan sus habilidades cuando se las enseñan a otros. Por eso, cuando estés trabajando con la computadora o usando una nueva aplicación, pídele a tu hijo que te ayude (aunque sepas lo que estás haciendo). Observa con atención. Si tu hijo hace algo inteligente, pregúntale: "¿Puedes mostrarme cómo lo haces?". Tu hijo ganará confianza y tú puedes aprender algunas habilidades útiles.

Increase sleep hours to improve learning
Studies show that getting even one more hour of sleep per night can help children be more alert in school and remember material with greater accuracy. To make sure that your child gets at least nine to 12 hours of sleep, provide plenty of exercise, and avoid serving caffeinated beverages. Then, create a soothing bedtime routine that includes reading together and talking about something positive from the day.

Social skills help your child get along in school
One of the best indicators of children's future school success is their ability to interact in positive ways with others. Class discussions, group projects and activities all require students to work with one another. To reinforce social skills at home, role-play being friendly, honest and an attentive listener with your child. Teach your student to be a good sport. Encourage teamwork by having your child participate in family projects, such as preparing a meal.

Las habilidades sociales ayudan a que su hijo se desenvuelva en la escuela
Uno de los mejores indicadores del éxito escolar futuro de los niños es su capacidad de interactuar de manera positiva con los demás. Los debates en clase, los proyectos y las actividades grupales requieren que los estudiantes trabajen en equipo. Para reforzar las habilidades sociales en casa, practique con su hijo juegos de roles en los que se muestre amable, honesto y atento. Enséñele a su estudiante a ser un buen deportista. Fomente el trabajo en equipo haciendo que su hijo participe en proyectos familiares, como preparar una comida.
A systematic approach can help your child read and remember
Your child will read many textbooks and nonfiction sources in a school career. To foster success with reading to learn, encourage your child to preview the text by reading the main headings and scanning the pictures. Next, your student should read the introduction, summary and any questions that follow the passage. Then your child can read the main text in short sections, making sure to understand each section before moving on.

Un enfoque sistemático puede ayudar a su hijo a leer y recordar
Su hijo leerá muchos libros de texto y fuentes de no ficción durante su carrera escolar. Para fomentar el éxito con la lectura para aprender, anime a su hijo a que lea el texto con anticipación leyendo los títulos principales y observando las imágenes. A continuación, su estudiante debe leer la introducción, el resumen y las preguntas que siguen al pasaje. Luego, su hijo puede leer el texto principal en secciones cortas, asegurándose de comprender cada sección antes de continuar.
An E-Tip for parents from The Parent Institute:
Mistakes are the beginning of learning
Everyone makes mistakes. But when mistakes are viewed negatively, kids learn to fear failure. This makes them less likely to take positive risks or finish things they don't think they can do perfectly. When your child makes a mistake, stay calm and discuss what can be learned from it. In general, try to focus more of your attention on the things your child does right rather than on mistakes.
https://tpitip.com/?14lL19702
Los errores son el comienzo del aprendizaje
Todos cometemos errores, pero cuando los errores se ven de forma negativa, los niños aprenden a temer el fracaso. Esto hace que sea menos probable que asuman riesgos positivos o terminen cosas que no creen que puedan hacer a la perfección. Cuando su hijo cometa un error, mantenga la calma y hable con él sobre lo que puede aprender de él. En general, trate de centrar más su atención en las cosas que su hijo hace bien en lugar de en los errores.
Candler County SWIRL Literacy Council will host Santa's Storytime Spectacular on December 12 from 5:30 until 6:30 pm at Farmers Furniture (20 N. Leroy St) to welcome Santa and spend some time with him! There will be a story time, crafts, and Christmas treats! Bring the kids and have a fun evening! Free books will be given out as well!
Let your child make some schoolwork choices
Giving your child some choices about how to do school assignments can reduce study time problems. Let your child decide things like: whether to work in a bedroom or at the kitchen table, whether to start right after school or after relaxing a bit, and whether to start with math or reading. If a choice doesn't work out, let the consequences teach your child to make a different choice next time.

Offer your child funny and interesting reading
Sometime between ages seven and nine, children typically transition from mostly listening to and looking at books to reading them on their own. How can you support this transition? Boost your child's motivation to read. Seek out books that make your child laugh or want to know what happens next. Nurture your elementary schooler's curiosity. Then, demonstrate how to look up the answers to your child's questions in reference books or online.

Lots going on this week! Be sure to check out our events calendar at https://www.metter.org/events
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you enjoy your break! We'll see you on December 2!
To encourage reading, spread out a blanket
Here's a tip for promoting family reading: Grab a blanket and spread it on the floor. Have family members each pick a book and lie on the blanket. Then, enjoy reading together! When your children are young, you can do the reading, but as your kids grow up, they will enjoy reading to everyone else. Blanket reading time is a great way to connect and turn your children into happy readers.

E-Tip for Parents from The Parent Institute
Support and encourage responsible learning
To be responsible students, children must take the job seriously. For that, they need their families' support. Make learning a priority in your family's life. Visit the library, explore new places, take nature walks. Then, establish routines that make reading and studying an expected part of each day. Encourage your child to keep trying when schoolwork is tough. And when your student has questions, demonstrate how to find the answers.
