WEEK 33: Spring Fever
Every year, right around this time, a malady hits the school hard. It’s not allergies, although that is high on the list. No, it’s Spring Fever. When the days start turning warmer and the end of school is in sight, students gaze wistfully out the windows, attention spans wander, and antsiness increases. Even the best-behaved students cannot help but dream of the freedom of summer.
What can we do as parents and teachers to help students make it through Spring Fever?
- Be a good role model – Let the children see you meeting your responsibilities even though you would rather be enjoying the beautiful weather. Encourage them to help you.
- Discuss rules and expectations – Make sure that your children are still following the household rules, doing their homework, and meeting your expectations.
- Stick to routines – A regular schedule, with times for homework, family, and play, helps students learn time management. Maintain a regular bedtime, even though it might still be light when they go to bed.
- Encourage exercise – Go outside and play with your children. Ride your bikes, take a walk, or just play in the yard. Enjoy the lovely weather we’ve been waiting for.
- Make school a priority – Have your children still do their homework and stay on top of their assignments.
- Leave room for exceptions – There will be days when the dishes can wait so your family can enjoy the outdoors, especially if extended rainy weather is on the way. The key is to make it an exception not a rule.
I pray that you and your family have a wonderful spring together.
God's Blessings,
