PARENTS' ROLE IN SCHOOL READINESS?

INFOPARENTS.COM: Parents are usually a child's first teacher and can act as role model when it comes to teaching their children to interact socially with others and to do such simple things as understand to wait in line or wait their turn. Parents can also help their children develop organizational skills at home by:

  • Teaching them to pick up their clothes
  • Teaching them to put their toys away and
  • In older children, assigning simple household chores

    Children should learn that they are sharing the home with others and they are not the only person in the home. This concept applies to the school environment. These are important skills because at school children will be asked to organize their desks put things away and wait their turn. Having learned and practiced these skills/concepts at home will give them an edge once school starts.
