Summer Vacation is here. Yes, we have about 2 1/2 glorious months of summer fun, yet something is happening that you may not even be aware of: Your child is quickly losing knowledge gained during the previous school year. Teachers lovingly refer to the knowledge lost as "Summer Brain Drain." Teachers will spend the first month of school reviewing "old" skills with their students and trying to gauge where each child is at, skill-wise. You can help your child's brain stay sharp however, with just 15 minutes of practice a day. You will be surprised how easy it is to fit in this practice session each day.
Make learning fun for your child and think out of the box. Learning can take place in a house, tent or on the picnic table. Your child (and their teacher) will be less frustrated this fall and your child will have an advantage over their peers. Happy Summer!
