How to Help Your Child in Kindergarten

1.  Begin the day with a nutritious low or no-sugar breakfast.

2.  Help your child learn his or her lunch code, which is the last four digits of their Social Security number.

3.  Help your child learn to zip and button clothing and coats and tie their shoes.  Dress your child in clothes that he or she can easily manage.

4.  Read to your child daily.  Provide books and other reading materials for your family and let your child see you reading.

5.  Make writing materials available for your child.  Encourage their attempts at creative writing.

6.  Play games with your child.  This will help them learn about taking turns, following rules, and being a good sport.

7.  Encourage your child to help around the house.  Assign chores to help them develop a  sense of responsibility.

8.  Check your child's backpack daily.  You'll see what they're doing and your interest will encourage them to put forth their best effort.  Discuss their work and together choose a paper or project to display on the fridge.
