Tips for choosing after school programs


Your child's Teacher school can often told you, your child can do much better ' unless ' it or put in a bit more effort. Can you have to encourage your child to that "extra bit". Children usually do not worry about it better. Attempt to bribe their chocolates and other goodies can work for a few days, but in the long term, they understood that it is harder to work. To resolve this problem, choose one after school programs. New York is a city where you will find a lot of teachers.

Teachers inspire their students to do much better, because a couple of reasons. One of the reasons why it's a good idea to organize your child to go one after school program (New York) is that teachers inspire their students to do much better.While treats, Pat on the back and constructive criticism can be made much; the impact of a person may be much more profitable actually some students have been able to do well, even if they were forced to skip classes at school trainers to motivate them.

One of the things that you should keep in mind when choosing a program after school in New York is their teachers are able to inspire students. Each teacher can motivate students, only some people can go out and spark young minds.

In addition, it is difficult to determine whether a person qualified to teach your child or not.If your child is starting school might assign a student to mentor your child.If your child is a little older, you should choose for someone who is a graduate student or a professional instructor.

The start of a new school year brings schedule changes for many families. Working parents of middle school students, in particular, are wondering if the after-school program that worked when their child was in elementary school is still appropriate for young teenagers. What are appropriate solutions for that critical time period between the end of the school day and family dinner time? What do parents need to know?

Keeping kids safe: Let's begin with the facts: It is between the hours of 3p.m. and 6p.m. on weekdays that the majority of episodes of high-risk behavior occur, including sexual activity, substance abuse, and criminal actions. Lack of adult supervision has been linked to lower GPAs, increased likelihood of accidents and injuries, and lower social competence. Teens who are unsupervised after school are 37% more likely to become teen parents*. Among the many reasons to provide supervision, as well as a structured environment for your young teen, the most pressing reason is simply to keep your teenager safe.

Yet - 34% of middle school students are unsupervised in the after school hours; only 6% are in any kind of program.**

Do teens resist the structured environment, and feel they have outgrown after-school programs? What do teens need in a program? What's at stake for parents, and for kids? What kinds of options can parents come up with that will satisfy everyone?

The challenge for parents: Many parents struggle to find the time to help their children with homework, and sometimes it's hard to make sure all their kids' needs are well met. Schools' primary focus on intellectual development and academic success has gained emphasis under No Child Left Behind, yet young peoples' development in the social, emotional and physical areas are no less important. Now less likely to be addressed in school, these areas can be addressed in quality after-school programs.

Teenagers that are fortunate enough to make the sports team often have their afternoons consumed with practice. What about the non-athletes? Or the kids who don't make the team, the band, the play? As a practical matter, parents of middle schoolers may find their after-school needs changing during the course of the year, the season, or even on a weekly or daily basis. This can become a complicated matter to manage for parents.

In fact, the issue of what happens during the after-school hours is such a problem to parents, researchers have been examining it. Dr. Rosalind Barnett at Brandeis University has named the phenomenon "PASS": Parental After School Stress. It's a well-known reality in the workplace that the phones begin to ring at work once kids are out of school. And Dr Barnett's research has shown that businesses suffer a measurable cost due to parents' stress in providing after-school coverage for their kids***.

Benefits abound: Quality out-of-school programs complement the efforts of schools and families. They offer activities that encourage good decision-making, problem solving, and they build self-esteem. They offer health education and positive role models in a supervised setting, all activities that support healthy outcomes for youth. Additionally, they can provide important experiential learning opportunities and homework assistance, both providing critical support that enhances educational efforts.

Young people say programs that meet their needs offer activities in the arts, allow them to spend time with friends, mentors and learn about careers and sports.*

Where do parents find after-school programs for teens? 67% of principals report their schools offer after school programs, but this figure includes elementary schools. Of the after school programs offered in this country, only 15% are for kids in grades 6 - 8 and 8% for those in grades 9 - 12. Other after school programs are offered by YMCAs, religious groups, Boys and Girls Clubs, Junior Achievement, private schools, parent cooperatives and family in-home programs.

Creative approaches: Parents who have difficulty finding appropriate programs for after school care may need to take things into their own hands and create their own solutions. Beth Fredericks, a parenting educator in the Boston area, refers to parents of teenagers and says "Parents have to get very creative at this stage." Sometimes they will need to create a "patchwork arrangement" that requires both parents to find some flexibility in their work schedules. She references arrangements she made when her kids were in middle school, cooperating with another family so that their collective 4 children always had a parent in charge and available for errands, driving and homework support. In another instance she refers to 3 families in a neighborhood who have, in total 6 kids. All 6 teens get off the bus and go to one house where there is a parent in charge. Each family takes responsibility for one week at a time.

Another area that parents need to focus on, is to teach teens the skills they will need to be home alone, comfortably and safely. What to do in an emergency, how to answer the door, and reviewing all possible "what-if" scenarios prepare teens for what they may face. Don't assume kids know how to do these things; teenagers, particularly middle school aged students, are still kids, and they need your attention, teaching, and tools.

Here's the bottom line:


Young teenagers are in need of after-school care. Without it, they are more likely to engage in risky behavior, waste precious time watching tv or engage in other meaningless activities.
After-school presents opportunities to engage kids in physical activities, to develop in social, and emotional growth, to spend supervised time with friends, and to enhance and support their academic efforts.
Although parents and teens often want to find programs, there aren't many.
This need is gaining visibility and expert attention.
But parents' can't wait; if a program is offered locally, use it! If not, be creative and take things into your own hands to find a way to keep your kids supervised.
Teach your child the specific skills that are required should s/he find herself home alone.

Value of extra-curricular activities after school


When the child has full-time in school and come home tired and hungry, he then goes back to some extracurricular activities! This may include a lot of things, depending on the interests of the child (and his parents budget!) Popular after-school activities can include: Karate, table tennis, cooking and baking, dancing, singing and piano lessons.

Some may wonder why they are necessary.Eventually the child will just not work full-time in school, stimulates and learning something useful and worthwhile? what's the point again to go out and do something else?

The answer to this is that as the older kids are not necessarily their home for a very long time. When they were younger, they would come home, have something to eat and you may go to sleep. An hour or two to play up to shower, dinner and bed was enough.But for older children, they need more social interaction and stimulation or are they boring. one of the main reasons for older children, getting into all sorts of problems is boredom.Thus, after-school activities can literally be a lifesaver.

The good thing about extracurricular activities is that after a day of learning in the classroom, children need to be able to release steam. Unwinding doing something creative and fun is a great way to do it.

For this reason, we recommend that parents if they can afford to send their children so much extra-curricular activities, as they can. it will expand the horizons of their children, give them some fun and give them an opportunity to relax.

After school activities-how much is too much?


When I was growing up, I came home from school, then spent the next few hours away from running around, playing and just a kid. After lunch I would settle for homework and then talk on the phone and finally make the night. I made a couple of afternoon events I attended, but I'm still a lot of time to hang out with friends and run nearby.

My oldest daughter had not been allowed to run unattended, as I was, but it participates in many after school play dates in our home or the home of her classmates, she also had a lot of time to play with friends, homework and even participate in multiple after programmes school.

What I see today are children, who are so overscheduled, they eat dinner at 8: 00 pm and sitting down to do your homework after 10: 00 at night.

I'm a very busy schedule here in the city of assignment of the clergy.Part of his responsibility meets families of 12-year-olds as prepare for the coming year.I always sad when parents tell me that only "free time their child has, on Sunday night at 7: 00 veceraKaĆŸdyj day after school assortment of music lessons, art lessons, dance lessons, sports, and many other things. Kindly if they can reschedule your child a lesson for one-time clergy meeting often met with great resistance. It makes me wonder how much is too much?

I really agree that busy child is less likely to get into trouble, but I also believe, when the child is not free hour in any given week overscheduled child.

As adults we often make choices about how to spend our time.We visit the other party or premiere plays? We attend dinner or our children sports banquet?We are the night with the girls or take a night class topics of interest for us?We constantly make a choice, where we spend and invest our time training our children how to make a choice is an important lesson we can teach their parents education of our children, we really cannot do all of this is also an important lesson.

I know I like an hour here and there to relax with a good book, or play the game of dominoes on your computer or even dig up my scrapbooking supplies to create multiple pages. children too have down time; just chilling with friends or talking on the phone as parents it is up to us to ask how much is too much?
