Do you want more ways to help support your child's social and emotional learning?

Parent Toolkit is a one-stop resource developed with parents in mind. It’s produced by NBC News Learn and supported by Pearson and includes information about almost every aspect of your child’s development, because they're all connected. Healthy, successful children can excel in many areas – in the classroom, on the court, and in their relationships with peers and adults. Our advice also covers important topics for navigating life after high school.

Parent tip of the week:  Why your student might be grumpy

6/7/2019

0 Comments

 
This week I had the luxury of chaperoning my own sons field trip to the zoo.  One of the children in my group, assigned to me by the teacher, was starving most of the morning and admitted he did not eat breakfast.  Now I know this child and the family, and I know that they are not food-insecure or ongoing tough times.  so I asked him:  Did you wake up late?  And sure enough, he didn't eat breakfast because he had barely gotten out of bed.

We see many students each day who have not gotten enough sleep and have not eaten breakfast. Many other things might cause your student to have a bad day at school.  some of those causes are:
  • Lack of sleep
  • Hunger
  • Missed medication
  • A headache or other pain
  • Illness
  • A conflict at home
  • A conflict with a peer
  • Didn’t do homework
  • Starved for attention
Parent are urged to watch signs of disaffection, probe for causes, keep track of behavior in school, and intervene appropriately.  Help your children have the best days possible!
