Do you any suggestions of ways to honor a child who is about to finish elementary school? - Needs Recognition
Answer: No matter whether your children are finishing preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, or secondary school, your family needs to celebrate this occasion in some way to acknowledge their achievement. You'll want to choose an activity that will be fun for the child who is graduating as well as others if they will be involved. Here are some suggestions:
* Plan a family picnic with one or more families of other children who are graduating.
* Organize a potluck supper, ice-cream social or other event at the school if the number of graduates is small.
* Put together a book of the child's papers along with photographs so that he or she will have a record of the school year or past years to enjoy looking at during the summer.
* If you or other parents have video tapes of the school year, consider having some type of event to look at the tapes together.
