“Have A Great Day!”is one way of telling your child that you hope their day will be a good one.  Helping your child go and have that good day begins at home.  They will carry your attitude into the classroom.

Other suggestions:

• Smile at your child – it can’t hurt!
• Find something to praise them for – it will start the ‘positive’ ball rolling


“You look great in that shirt”
“Thanks for getting dressed on time”.


• Encourage them to eat something good for breakfast. Remember that protein is brain food.
• Reinforce your belief in their abilities by telling them so.
  
  “I know you’ll do well on that spelling test”.
  
  
• Let your child know that you love them every day.

By helping your child to have a positive outlook on their day, your day will start off better too. So, …  HAVE A GREAT DAY!
