LBJ’s value for the month of April is “good judgement”. During DEED, this value is reinforced through related stories and role playing. It is good to start giving your child practice in making good choices. The older your child gets, the more decision he/she will have to make on his/her own. Start giving him/her some practice now. Allow your child to decide between choices (walking or running in the house), making decisions on (homework or TV), or (candy or apple), etc. If he/she spills his/her drink, don’t rush to clean it, instead, ask, “What do you think you should do?” If he/she doesn’t answer right away, simply say, “We clean up our spills,” and then hand him a paper towel.
Taking the time to reinforce this value with your child can overcome many problems. Remember that you need to be consistent to make this work. Parents, together with the school we can make a difference!
