Ask questions to encourage thinking
Not every problem your child will face will have an easy solution. So it's important to teach your student to ask questions and think things through. To promote this kind of thought, say things like, "I wonder why that happened" or "I wonder what might happen if …?" Encourage your child to ask questions about the world all around. And when your elementary schooler expresses an opinion, demonstrate how to find facts to support it.

Remember 10 rules for promoting positive behavior
Ten rules can help you maintain effective discipline and a healthy relationship with your child: 1. Set positive goals for behavior. 2. Make rules and consequences clear and enforce them consistently. 3. Involve your child in solving problems. 4. Avoid lecturing. 5. Offer praise for good behavior. 6. Ask why your child misbehaved, rather than making assumptions. 7. Use logical consequences. 8. Let your child make some choices. 9. Expect your child’s best effort. 10. Focus on your child’s strengths and show your love.

Prepare your child to tackle challenges
Competence leads to confidence. To give your elementary schooler the confidence to face academic and life challenges, help improve organizational skills. Having items when they are needed makes kids feel capable. Also, offer your child plenty of opportunities to express opinions and have them taken seriously. Talk together about how you handle work responsibilities and challenges, too. Your attitude will inspire similar behavior from your child.

Pajama day was so much fun! Merry Christmas to all of our Moody families. See you in 2024!
We love Christmas party day!
Build your child's cooperation skills
To succeed in school, students need to be able to work well with others. Take time to teach your elementary schooler about cooperation. Make it clear that you expect your child to take turns and share, and offer praise when you see this behavior. Encourage your child to be honest by demonstrating honesty yourself. And explain that it makes you proud when your child admits mistakes and takes responsibility for them.

Christmas spirit week is in full swing at Moody! 🎄🎅🏼
We had our annual Christmas sing along on Monday, and even enjoyed watching some of our teachers play some fun games. What a great way to get into the Christmas spirit!
Moody kindergarten visited Central Office Friday morning and sang some Christmas carols. They were treated with a candy cane.
The Moody Singers performed their Christmas music today at the State Capitol in Little Rock and at The Blossoms in White Hall .
Every child needs these priceless gifts
As you think about holiday gifts, remember there are some gifts that last a lifetime that only you can give your child: The gift of your time: reading together, helping with learning and just enjoying each other. The gift of understanding: that your child will make mistakes, and that you can help your student learn from them. The gift of confidence: Believing in your child's abilities helps your child believe, too.
