Every summer thousands of kids fall further behind their peers in school. And to make things worse the problem tends to compound year over year. Over a few summers a struggling learner can find themselves years behind grade level.
The last thing these kids want is to do more homework over summer. So what’s a parent to do?
Develop A Love Of Learning In Your Child
The foundations of learning are not actually academics. To be good at academics a child must possess other attributes. Things like:
- Curiousity
- A love of learning
- Self-confidence in learning
And summer is the perfect time to help your child grow stronger in these areas.
Additionally, summer is a time of play and new experiences. These can be harnessed to maximize neuroplasticity. Physical play is at the heart of developing proprioception and proprioception is the foundation of brain development. In other words, summer is a great opportunity for brain growth and development. Intelligence is fluid and summertime activities are an easy way to take advantage of that.
