Dress Up Play
Do you remember the days you’d transform
into a princess or superhero and get lost in
the plot you created? Are you encouraging
your children to do the same? There are a
few reasons you should.
Dress up play stretches your child’s creative
muscles. They are using their imaginations
as they try on different personas. They are
looking at the world in new ways.
They are telling a story. They aren’t just
practicing silly voices. They are putting their
new language skills to good use.
They can work through their feelings and
explore the feelings of others. They use
dress up play to make sense of the world
and work through various problems.
They are practicing life skills. Children learn
to dress themselves while changing into
costumes. Tea parties are social affairs that
call for manners and etiquette.
Dressing up is fun! They are playing and
playing is important.
Please call 491-7626
if you need to
reschedule. Thanks!

nine practical points for parents
1. Read to children at an early age. Establish that reading is fun and also essential,
not only in the classroom but to life in general.
 Provide quality reading materials in the home and encourage regular library visits.
 Be a good role model and read more yourself!
2. Arrange for the sharing of duties in the home and see to it that such duties are performed.
 Being responsible for chores encourages self-discipline.
 Having a regular job makes one feel needed and a part of the family—important
contributions to positive self-esteem.
3. Show by example that a consideration for others and a commitment to family and
community are vital to individual growth and self-satisfaction.
4. Speak well of education and praise its importance.
5. Help a child with homework at the end of a school day.
 Rejoice in your child’s successes yet be alert to recognize personal social problems that may affect the school experience.
 Provide a place to study and a quiet atmosphere.
6. Carefully watch the cultural influences in the home, including the viewing of television. Children can be shown how to discriminate between the good and
the gaudy and cheap.
 Watch television with your children. Discuss the ideas and situations presented
from a realistic point of view.
7. Take an active part in ongoing communication with the teacher and the school.
 Keep abreast of your child’s progress in school.
8. Share at least one meal per day together as a family. Discuss homework, ideas,
happenings from your day.
9. Cultivate and encourage a sense of humor. The ability to laugh at oneself indicates
a sense of maturity.

nueve puntos prácticos para padres
1321
1. Léale a los niños a una edad temprana. Establezca que el leer es divertido y también esencial, no solo en el
salón de clases pero en general.
 Tenga materiales que leer en el hogar y anime visitas regulares a la biblioteca.
 ¡Sea un buen modelo y lea más usted mismo!
2. Haga arreglos para que los quehaceres de la casa sean compartidos y que se cumpla con ellos.
 El ser responsables por quehaceres anima la autodisciplina.
 El tener un quehacer rutinario hace que uno se sienta necesitado y como parte de la familia—el contribuir es
algo positivo para la autoestima.
3. Ponga el ejemplo de que el tener consideración por otros y un compromiso a la familia y la comunidad es algo
vital para el crecimiento como individuo y satisfacción propia.
4. Hable bien acerca de la educación y enfatice su importancia.
5. Ayúdele a su hijo con su tarea al final de cada día escolar.
 Regocije de los triunfos de su hijo pero esté al tanto para reconocer problemas personales y sociales qu
pueden influir en su experiencia escolar.
 Establezca un lugar donde estudiar y un ambiente tranquilo.
6. Observe las influencias culturales en el hogar, incluyendo el ver la televisión. Se les puede enseñar a los niños
a discriminar entre lo bueno y lo corriente.
 Vea la televisión con sus hijos. Discuta las ideas y situaciones que presentan desde un punto de vista realista.
7. Tome un papel activo en la comunicación continua con la maestra y la escuela.
 Esté al tanto del progreso de su hijo en la escuela.
8. Compartan al menos una comida al día juntos como familia. Discuta la tarea, ideas, y lo que ocurrió durante el
día.
9. Cultive y anime el sentido del humor. El poder reírse de sí mismo indica madurez.
