Does Your Family Have Good Habits?

My kids brought this "Parent Quiz" home from school on a flyer the other day and I thought I would pass it along. It is taken from "The Parent Institute," a division of NIS, Inc, Inc.,www.parent- institute.com "A child educated only at school is an uneducated child." --George Santayana 

Parent Quiz -- Does your family have good habits?

When families have good habits at home, school life is much easier for children. Answer the following questions "yes" or "no" to see if you're encouraging important family habits:

 ____1. Do you have at least one meal together as a family each day?

 ____2. Do you plan plenty of time in your schedule for family fun?

 ____3. Do you encourage morning, bedtime and homework routines?

 ____4. Do you enforce important rules fairly and consistently? 

 ____5. Do you show love for your child in many ways, such as by listening carefully and saying, "I love you!" 

 How did you do? Each "yes" answer means you're working to make home life routine and reliable. For each "no" answer, consider ways suggested in the quiz to change your response to yes. You'll see a difference at home and at school.  Again, the "Parent Quiz" is taken from the "Helping Children Learn" newsletter. For more information to go: www.parent-institute.com
