Teaching
Your Kids to Love Learning
We want to help parents promote the idea of living life to the fullest to
their children. This includes doing well in school, leading a balenced life,
conducting themselves in an appropriate manner, and maintaining a positive
outlook on life. If you have material, products, books, or anything that
might be appropriate for this page,
please
send it (or information about it) to us!

Dr. Rempel's Number One Suggestion:
Be a life long learner yourself! Your children will watch your example and copy
it. Do you read the newspaper? Do you spend time learning a new foreign
language? Do you talk to your kids about finding the answers to their questions
in books or on the Internet? Think about the example that you set for your
children. Make the choice to love learning and pass that love onto your kids!

Children are like sponges, constantly absorbing information. We need to remember
this as we can take full advantage of this fact or we can ignore it and lose a
valuable opportunity.
Use the outdoors.
While the weather is still cooperating, take your children outdoors. You can
give them several science lessons. Show them the leaves turning on the trees and
use this time to discuss how photosynthesis works and why the leaves turn color
in the fall.
Look for different bugs. Most children love bugs and will take enjoy any
opportunity to discuss them. There is so much to learn about bugs!
Have your child run around kicking a ball, use this experience to teach about
cause and effect.
Lay down and look at the clouds, discuss the different types of clouds, why the
sky is blue, etc.
If a plane flies overhead, use this as a chance to talk about how planes can
stay in the air.
Watch people walk by, discuss the differences in hair color, height, etc.
discuss how genetics work. Maybe someone is wearing glasses, what are some of
the reasons a person may need glasses?
Use the kitchen.
Cook together. Not only is this a great bonding experience, but it is a great
learning experience. We can teach fractions and addition using measurements of
ingredients. You can discuss how electricity and/or gas works by discussing the
appliances that refrigerate and cook your food. Teach organizational skills by
looking for ingredients and appliances in your cabinets.
Show your child how the freezer freezes water into ice.
Discuss why the water goes down the drain in the direction it does.
Discuss why we wash the dishes, the germs that can be left behind by certain
types of foods, etc.
Use your child's playroom.
The opportunities for learning from different toys, puzzles, books, games, etc.
are innumerable.
The books teach reading and whatever subject the book may be about. Puzzles
teach patience, spatial reasoning, coordination, etc. Games teach sharing,
patience, counting, fairness, losing, etc.
There is so much more in everyday life that we can use as tools for teaching.
But I think the number one thing to remember is that spending the time with our
children and using these moments for bonding as well as teaching is the most
important part. Remember, enjoy the time spent with your child and have fun!
