Being a parent is an adventure full of emotions, challenges, and proud moments, especially when your child starts school. Sometimes it can feel difficult to know how to best support their learning, but being actively involved not only improves their academic performance, it also boosts their self-esteem and confidence. With small daily gestures, you can make a big difference in their school experience.
Here are some practical ways to get involved in a positive way:
1. Show interest every day
Ask your child about their day at school, what they learned, and who they played with. Listening attentively shows them that you care about their daily life and strengthens the bond between you.
2. Communicate with teachers
Attend school meetings, stay in touch with teachers, and don’t hesitate to ask how you can support your child at home. At our school, for example, we offer options such as Espai Acció, tutoring sessions, and FEAC workshops. Consistent communication creates a strong bridge between the family and the school.
3. Participate in school activities
Get involved in events like the Encesa de Llums, the festa major, Christmas festivals, and other school projects. Your presence not only motivates your child but also helps create a safe and welcoming school environment.
4. Encourage positive habits
Teach your child the importance of punctuality, respect, and organization. The values they learn at home are reflected in their behavior at school. Help them get organized at home and arrive on time so they can start the day feeling confident and ready.
5. Celebrate their achievements, no matter how small
Recognizing their efforts and progress strengthens their enthusiasm for learning. Maintaining good communication with their teacher will allow you to celebrate successes both at school and at home, creating a continuous circle of support and motivation.
Being involved in your child’s school life doesn’t mean being there all the time—it means being present with attention, interest, and affection. With your support, every school day can be a positive and enriching experience for them.
