…because you do. • Children see the present. They are drawn in by the wonder and the pleasure of being alive. • Problem: children are very close to the future. They need to prepare. • Parents see the future. You know the end of the story. • Parents guide their children’s future.
This is what school looks like to you…This is what you hope school looks like to your child.
…child’s backpack? • Homework? • Notes from today? • Notebooks? • Pens? • Pencils? • Paper? • If not, why are you not expecting to see those items? Check homework and notebooks.
