To Kumon or Not to Kumon?

With soccer practice, dance recitals, school plays and play dates it seem that there is just not enough time to devote to a learning center.  Children are so busy that when the school bell rings for dismissal they have forgotten homework and are off to the next adventure.
Just with any sport, in order to get better we must practice- this is true for school work.  To improve not only your child’s grades but class participation, enthusiasm and most importantly confidence, Kumon should be at the top of the extracurricular activities list.  It is not a matter of becoming smarter and faster but for your child to learn how to learn.  This is the most valuable lesson through their life.
After school, sports and other activities children must sit down, focus and complete homework based on what they have learned.  With the over stimulation of finally being home, dinner being prepared, the news broadcasting on the television and siblings conversing, it is no surprise that focus is much easier said than done.  At Kumon children enter the center, sit down and work.  The environment encourages critical thinking with help and guidance right by their side ready to assist in their learning. 
With the rising costs of education and the increased pressure to do it all, it is so important to prepare our children with the tools necessary to succeed, not just in elementary or high school but college and beyond.
Practice, Practice, Practice and you will achieve success.
What have you focused on today?
