It’s easy to underestimate the impact lifestyle choices can have on learning, particularly when there’s a lot of talk about working hard and having a positive attitude; however, not eating well or getting enough sleep or physical activity can detrimentally affect children’s cognitive abilities and mindset, which will of course have a negative effect on their education. Here a prep school in Bristol explores how your child’s lifestyle choices can affect their education, and what you can do to help them. 

Hobbies have always been seen as a source of fun, but many children are unwilling to engage in a new activity, for various reasons - after all, they’re kids. But in today’s current state of crisis, both parents and children of all ages are finding themselves in need of things to pass the time.

Enter a hobby.

One way to help your child find a hobby is to focus on something they are good at, helping to build some self-esteem through their success. Whether it's music, drama, sports, science, crafting, or computers, find out what they like to do. Many a hobby has turned into a career, and as the saying goes, “find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
