Parenting Tip of the Month
Family Engagement Month is a time to recognize the critical role families play in their children's education. When parents and caregivers are actively involved—whether by attending school events, helping with homework, or simply having meaningful conversations—children thrive academically and socially. This month highlights the importance of building strong partnerships between families, educators, and communities, encouraging everyone to get involved in ways that fit their lives. By fostering these connections, we create a supportive environment where children are more likely to succeed in and out of the classroom.
Incorporating science-backed brain-building activities into everyday routines makes family engagement even more powerful. Resources like Vroom® offer simple yet effective tips that fit seamlessly into daily moments, helping parents turn ordinary interactions into opportunities for brain development. Whether it’s through fun games or interactive conversations, these activities nurture children’s cognitive growth while strengthening the bond between family members. Building young brains starts with you!
