REMEMBER THAT even
though school is over, leamina
doesn't have to stop for your
children. You can continue to
exercise their minds so they
won't lose what they learned
in chool.
Also, remind your children
how important education is to
their future. Tell them over
and over again that they can
achieve. Make them
understand that as their
parents, you expect them to
put 100 percent effort into
their schoolwork.
Most of aU, try to spend time
alone with each child every
week. Children thrive OD
individual attention. If try
to et aside a little time,
everyone will benefit.
Seize the opportunity to enrich
your c�ldren's time off and
build on their educational
experiences. There DO time
