Stop the Homework Wars
Family Activities Make Learning Easy
Christmas and Hanukkah are over and the New Year is quickly approaching. Soon the kids will be back in school, will they have a hard time adjusting to the structure of the classroom or will they be able to jump right back in where they were before the Holiday break? Think back to when you had a 3 or 4 day weekend how hard it was to get focused on work, now remember your kids have had 2 weeks off of school and how much harder that will be to get back into the swing of things.
Bonnie Terry, America’s Leading Learning Specialist shown on FOX Morning News gives us a few suggestions on how to make our children’s transition back into the classroom as smooth as possible.
Ms. Terry says, “The longer you let your children take a break from learning skills the longer it will take them to get back into the ‘groove’ of learning. So, I suggest doing at least 3 family activities that will promote fun family time as well as learning.”
Family Activities Book
One way to accomplish this by using our Family Activity Book that is filled with over 80 family activities.
Ms. Terry: I recall so many wonderful activities my family did when I was growing up: ice skating, seeing the Christmas lights, visits to my grandparents or Aunt and Uncle’s house, trips to the Art Institute or the Field Museum in Chicago, and of course baking those delicious spritz cookies! My children recall many of our family holiday activities in the Sacramento area. We did go ice skating in downtown Sacramento- they set up an ice rink downtown. We also went to the Crocker Art Gallery and the Railroad Museum; we made lots of Christmas crafts and collages, and of course we baked and decorated those same spritz cookies my mom had taught us to bake. I can even smell them now. So, my Christmas/Holiday gift to you is the BT Family Activity Book where there are over 80 fun family activities in 7 different categories.

Get the biggest Impact From Your Family Activities
To really make an impact on your kids finish off the Holiday Break by creating a family scrapbook or collage that covers the activities you did. That is where the true learning of the activities takes place. The scrapbook or collage can be kept from year to year and even added to over the years. When you go back and review those places you went to or activities you did, the memory system is enhanced which improves learning skills. Family activities are a great way to build learning skills and making memories.
