#340 Check In

All it took was one simple check-in. A teacher noticed an interesting trend in her classroom. While the girls in the class almost always turned in their weekly assignments on time, most of the boys would forget or turn things in late. This teacher decided to try an experiment. Without drawing attention, she started quietly checking in with each boy in her class throughout the week to see how his assignment was going. The results astonished her– because of that simple check in, most of the male students started meeting the deadlines. It’s important to remember that boys and girls think and learn differently. If your son needs more reminders than your daughter, don’t shame him for it– find ways to help him. He may just need one simple check in.
