Respond to the content of children's writing, and don't be overly concerned with misspellings. Over time you can help your child concentrate on learning to spell correctly. When children begin to write, they run the risk of criticsm, and it takes courage to continue. Our job as parents is to help children find the courage. This we can do by expressing our appreciation of their efforts.
Television can be a great tool for education too.
The keys are setting limits, making good choices, taking time to watch together, discussing what you view, and encouraging follow-up reading. What To Do Limit your child's television viewing time and make your rules and reasons clear. Involve your child in choosing which programs to watch. Read the TV schedule together to choose. Monitor what your child is watching, and whenever possible, watch the programs with your child.
