Getting Kids to Rise to the Occasion
If two brothers can change the face of aviation, then I can tackle education!! This is my platform.
I was a mom who was trying to get my own kids ready for school and was shocked at how advanced Kindergarten has become. Starting the education process in Kindergarten is already too late. We need to empower kids at ages 2-4 to inspire parents and preschool teachers to all work together to be involved in education.
A generation of children were taught to wear seat belts and they taught their parents and grandparents. Teach children what they need to know and they will inspire their parents to become vested in education as well. That’s the key!
A homework assignment for parents everywhere!!! Do these 6 things daily and your children will succeed!
- Stop, Drop, and Listen. Stop what you are doing, drop to their level and listen to your child talk about their day, daily!
- Unload the backpack/ homework folder with your kids daily. Be involved in helping them stay on track for the next day!
- Read with your kids every night for 15 minutes.
- Play a repetitive game with your kids for 15 minutes. You could even do 10 pushups and 10 sit-ups as a family!
- Ask open ended questions to help your kids learn to communicate effectively.
- Be involved in school activities and join your PTA/PTO!

Letting children know you care is one of the best ways to help them stay on top of their game. What’s your favorite way to stay involved?
