101 Things Parents Can Do... Things 21-30

101 Things Parents Can Do to Help Children by Barbara Hacker(Montessori teacher and Ed. M)

Next 21-30

21. Assign regular household tasks that need to be done to maintain the household to your child as age appropriate. (perhaps setting silverware and napkins on the table, sorting, recycling, dusting, watering plants, etc.)
22. Attend school parent education functions.
23. Arrange time for both parents to attend parent-teacher conferences. Speak together in preparation for the conference and write down questions to ask.
24. Talk to your child without talking down. Communicate with respect and give the child the gift of language, new words and expressions.
25. When talking to your child, physically get on his/her level, be still, and make eye contact.
26. Sing! Voice quality does not matter. Sing together regularly. Build a repertoire of family favorites.
27. Refrain from over-structuring your child's time with formal classes and activities. Leave time to "just be," to play, explore, create.
28. Teach your child safety precautions. (Deal with matches, plugs, chemicals, stairs, the street, how to dial 911, etc.)
29. Teach your child his/her address, phone number, and parents' names.
30. Count! Utilize natural opportunities that arise.
