Learner Profile Attribute of the Month: Balanced
Balanced at Home
Balanced learners understand the importance of balancing different aspects of their lives - intellectual, physical, and emotional - to achieve well-being for ourselves and others.
How can parents help to develop students who are Reflective at home?
- Discuss the food groups with your child. Spend a few minutes during a mealtime deciding if what your family is eating is balanced.
- Encourage your child to be flexible.
- Encourage your child to play with a variety of people with a variety of interests
- Model being balanced by participating in a variety of activities. Spend time as a parent or family doing many different things.
- Encourage your child to balance active time with quiet time (exercise and play vs. reading, drawing, screen time)
- Discuss doing their best in all subjects at school, not just their favorite
