Learning Enrichment

This week our LEC students are absorbed in learning and as teachers and LEC Aides it is a privilege to be a part of their learning journey.

How can we help our children thrive and learn?

There are somethings that as parents we can do to support our children towards adulthood. Every day is an opportunity to start again, try again and keep learning ourselves.  The Bible gives us assurance that God’s love, mercy, and faithfulness is ours each day. As a mum, I am so thankful that God gives us a new day to try again!

Here are some practical tips, from Raising Children, for helping both primary and secondary children learn effectively:

• Encourage your child to try new things, to make mistakes and to learn about who they are through new experiences. Keep praising your child for trying new things.
• Show an interest in your child’s activities.
• Watch the news together and talk about what’s happening in the world.
• If your child has homework, encourage them to do it at about the same time each day and in a particular area, away from distractions like the TV or a mobile phone.
• Make sure your child has time to relax and play. Help your child develop or maintain a good sleep pattern.
