#091: What You Should Be Doing to Keep Your Kids from Losing Academic Skills This Summer!

June 06, 2023 • Jessika Shields, Founder & CEO • Episode 91

Whether it’s a long Winter Break, Spring Break or Summer Break, it’s important to understand that your child could lose academic skills simply because their brain is not being exercised and stretched enough to keep the momentum of what was learned during the time leading up to the break. That’s why after every long break, teachers spend days sometimes weeks re-teaching children how to behave in school, classroom expectations, and other routines that they may have forgotten. Much of this time is also spent reviewing the previous year’s content in order to rejog their memories so that they can begin building upon skills once learned. To minimize academic regression for your child, I talk about some things you can do to prevent what educators call the “Summer Slide”.
