Is Learning your New Year’s Resolution?

Each year we are excited for change and opportunity.  Usually setting our New Year’s Resolution is the start to this whole New Year and new you, but does your resolution make the top 10 list of most popular?

According to online article http://pittsburgh.about.com/od/holidays/tp/resolutions.htm  learning something new is number 8 on the top 10 list.  Setting goals whether you are an adult or child is a great way to enjoy achievements.  Sharing your goal of learning for 2012 with your children is not only fun but will be one of the most beneficial New Year’s Resolutions you have ever made.

Many of us are familiar with the quote, “You learn something new each day” and in most cases it is always true.  Whether your children are playing during recess or in the classroom, each experience is a learning experience.  Introducing children to the fun of learning is one of the most under estimated gifts.

At Kumon Learning Centers children not only learn something new every day, they retain what they learn and have fun with the experience of learning.  When do your children ever come home and tell you that their teacher sat with them one on one in order to modify and support them through their work for an hour?  

With increasing classroom sizes and added pressure on teachers to stay on track with teaching the curriculum, we cannot blame them for not being able to sit with our children individually.  Can you imagine if teachers were able to do that?  That would be 24 hours a day just to sit with each child!

Education in schools is invaluable, however many children just need the extra attention and guidance to help retain the curriculum that is taught in schools.

Will learning something new be your families New Year’s Resolution?
