What should you do if your child has behavioural problems?
4 apps that will make school easier for your child
Is your child failing to respect class rules or acting in a disruptive or violent way? If so, you may not know what to do. Here’s how you can find a solution to this type of problem. UNCOVER THE SOURCE If your child is acting in an inappropriate manner, it’s important to understand why. Try to determine if the behavioural issue is occurring only at school or if it’s happening at home too. Understanding when and where the behaviour is exhibited could provide insight into the situation. Children may act out for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it’s because their social needs aren’t being met. In others, it’s that the child finds the learning objectives difficult to meet. Tensions at home can also make it difficult for children to manage their emotions. Alternatively, bullying may be the culprit.
WORK WITH SPECIALISTS The right professional can help root out the cause of your child’s behavioural issues.
This includes: • Audiologists • Special educators • Doctors • Optometrists • Speech and language therapists • Psychoeducators • Psychologists
These experts are especially helpful if your child’s issues are linked to mental health problems, learning impediments, vision problems or dyslexia. Health-care workers and trained educators can provide your child with a treatment plan. With professional help and a bit of effort, you’re likely to see an improvement.

How to encourage kids to keep learning
Bonne rentrée scolaire à tous! Happy return to school to all!
• Create a vacation album. Put together a collection of pictures taken during the sum- mer and get your child to write short descrip- tions under each one. • Practise another language. Watch movies or television shows in their second lan- guage. There are many ways to encourage children to keep learning, and even a small amount of time engaged in educational activities can motivate them.
It’s normal for children to be a little rusty when they head back to school. If you’d like to help them get ready beforehand, here are some ideas. • Get them to read. This can include no- vels, comic books, magazines and non- fiction books. • Do math on the fly. Encourage kids to add, subtract, multiply and solve other equa- tions throughout the day. They can do this while you prepare dinner, go for a walk or wait in line at the grocery store.
