Is it a struggle to encourage your child to go to school everyday? Try these five tools to keep your kid excited about going to school!
1. Let the Tickle Monster wake your child up in the morning! Who can stay in bed when the tickle monster is on the loose?
2. Rock out to your child’s favorite songs while waiting to drop your child off or put on a concert all the way home!
3. Pick one day a week to eat lunch with your child at school! It will give them something to look forward to and you will get to learn about their day before their energy is zapped after school!
4. Whether you can or can’t make it to a weekly lunch with your kid, surprise them with a special note or a special treat in their book bag! Don’t be afraid to just use stickers and glitter!
5. Develop a special hand sign or handshake to communicate your love for each other before parting ways in the carpool line or after lunch. The sillier and more loving, the better!
BONUS: Keep that connection going after school by:
*reading one book any time before bed. Bath time will do!
*asking your child to draw a picture of how their day went and then let them tell you all about it.
*paint some nails and get all the school gossip in one sitting!
*let your child sing you a made up silly song and choose to be the back up dancer or musician!
