Here are a few tips for parents to help prevent summer slide, 25-30% of what was learned during the school year. I find that both younger and old students enjoy these types of activities once the screens are put down. Keep encouraging your child to read. Writing and Math tend to be overlooked so get out those journals and share writing with your child and work on some real world math. I have many memories of working with my mom at "the table" over summer. I didn't love it then but realized how great it was once I would go back to school after summer and had such an easy transition to the next grade. We can play and work over summer. It does make a difference!

Summer is a time to be a kid, explore, dive deeper into passions, and even find some new ones! At the same time, we want to encourage our young friends to read and maintain the skills from the past year. If you need support with summer studies, I have some spots open. Happy Summer!

Recently speaking with my daughters' PA, she shared that her son is quite smart but so disorganized. She asked if it is okay to help her son get organized even though he is already in middle school. I enthusiastically replied, YES! Share your organizing methods and help your middle school student develop one that works for him/her. Organization is a very important skill for our middle school students, especially as they kick off the school year. Focus on the organization of things first in order to help your child feel ready for the transition. From experience, #1, make sure they record their homework in a central place for all subjects. Not all middle school teachers make the students record homework. No one is checking them like in elementary school. Invest in a planner if the school does not require one.

Help your child feel confident and perform well in middle school.
