Best of March!

 

Kiddie Academy Blog_March Round Up (8)

 

From the time your child wakes up until the time they go to sleep at night, there are countless opportunities for learning and growing. In classrooms across the U.S., Kiddie Academy teachers are making a positive difference in the lives of children, helping educate and inspire the next generation of Amazing kids by introducing monthly character concepts. Throughout March, Kiddie Academy’s character education program focused on the value of responsibility through discussions of what responsibility means.

What does responsibility mean? To take ownership of a task and see it through to completion. It also includes a measure of accountability, meaning that one takes ownership of their decisions and actions.

What makes a person responsible? It means you take appropriate steps to get things accomplished and others can rely on you to complete a task.

Tips for practicing responsibility at home.

You’ve probably heard the refrain “they grow up so fast” more often than you’d like to acknowledge. And while it’s hard to imagine your little one as an independent and responsible adult, it may be even more difficult envisioning how you as a parent will help make that happen—especially when, right now, your tiny tot requires assistance with so many things, even the basics. But it’s never too early to teach your child responsibility. Start with these strategies.
