Tutoring as a Bonding Time for the Whole Family (part 2 of 2)


Setting the tutoring session's time and venue can also help. Making tutoring as a family thing is something that would make the child happy. This is because he or she will feel that he or she is important since almost all members of the family talk about his academic difficulties. The most common venue and time is over mealtime, say lunch or dinner. You can also make use of the TV time to help the child with his or her assignment.

Delegating a certain member of the family about a specific lesson or topic taught in school might also help. Since not all members of the family are on call when the child needs some tutoring, it is best if parents will delegate a specific member, say for a day or for a particular topic.  This can be very helpful because the siblings as well as the parents can chose a subject where they think they are good at. If there is only one child, the parents must divide the topics amongst themselves to tend to the child's queries.

Other tutoring options

Aside from making sure that the child gets all the help and support he or she needs when completing school tasks at home, there are also other things that parents can try as well as other members of the family can do such as meeting with the child's teacher where a free-wheeling discussion about the child's progress in school.

Apart from the academic status of the child, meeting with the teacher can also be the best time to talk about tutoring options that could be arranged within the school or after school hours. One great way to go about this is to ask the teacher to group children and assist or help each other for a specific assignment. This might work because children can complement each other's weaknesses.

This can also help boost the confidence of the child because he or she gets help not from an adult but from his or her fellow student.

Tutoring is very, very important for especially for younger students because this will somehow ensure that they are not alone in the academic world. For parents as well as siblings, helping the child out in accomplishing his or her assignment properly will give the child a sense of fulfillment that he or she could turn to the family members when he or she needs help in studying.

How can members of the family get involved in tutoring?

Now, more than ever, the school has become a stressful place for students because they feel constrained and pressured by academic demands. This is the reason why it really helps if any student could get as much help and support especially inside the house.

Although parents are also stressed and busy these days, it doesn’t mean that the parents should sacrifice the amount of time that they are giving to their kids especially those that are in school. If workload and busy schedule don’t permit them to provide help—through tutoring—the child who is in school, there are some other ways that this can be done.

The ideal option for busy parents is to make tutoring sessions a bonding time for the whole family. Experts agree that this is one creative and practical way to go about this situation. It doesn’t mean that the family members have to be complete at all times. What is important is the member of the family are willing to share some of their time to the child who needs help in doing his or her school works.

Skydiving in the Military (part 2 of 2)


Soldiers who are deployed in this manner have to attend schooling just like regular skydivers. A good  example is the US Army’s Military Freefall Parachutist School in Arizona. Most soldiers spend about 5 weeks here where an instructor will teach them how to use their equipment.

The program that they go through includes aerial maneuvers, air sense, in air instruction focusing and parachute operating procedures. Each student gets a minimum of 30 freefall jumps including 2 day and 2 night jumps with oxygen equipment and field gear. Once they finish the program, they are now certified skydivers.

People who have retired from the military can teach amateurs and experienced skydivers alike how this is done. With their training, it will be easy for them to adjust and apply a few techniques which are not taught in skydiving centers that could make it safer for them during their next jump.

Military skydiving helped make recreational diving what it is today. Without the lessons learned here, no one will be able to do this for fun so we have to be thankful that there are a few things used in warfare that can be used for peaceful means.

Skydiving is just one example which is probably why there are more than 2 million skydivers in the US and this does not include people who just try it once. You also won’t have a hard time finding a skydiving center since most of these are open all year round.

Is skydiving fun? The answer is yes and with indoor wind tunnels, even those who are scared of heights can feel what it is like to fly.
