Welcome to Jenkins-White Charter School!
Many times parents ask “What can I do to help my child?” Here are a few ideas I have gathered for you.
• Help develop your child’s social skills.
• Take time to set a good example and teach children social skills and acceptable behaviors.
• Take time to talk to your children.
• Be a role model, talk about your feelings. Encourage discussion and conversation about feelings. This may diffuse anger, sadness, and fear. You may reduce the number of tantrums or mood swings displayed by your children!
• Reward your children from their accomplishments and good behavior. Emphasize the positives.
• Curb the extracurricular activities.
• Avoid creating stress for children by over-involvement in activities. Children need personal time just like adults do!
I hope these ideas are useful for you!
Marva Tutt, Principal
