Going to school is important and helps shape us both academically and socially. But, how we get to school can also have a great impact. There are numerous benefits to kids riding the school bus. And, not just for the kids. The parents and the entire community may benefit from kids taking the school bus.
Benefits of taking the school bus
We know that taking your kids to school is a great way to get a little extra time in with your kids. However, with everyone leading busy lives, getting our kids in the car and off to school can be more of a chore than a treat. But, don’t feel guilty about putting your kids on the school bus in the morning. In fact, it may be better for them in the long run.
Social benefits of the school bus
Academic intelligence is just one measure of a good person. But, social intelligence is just as important, if not more. The school bus brings together students of all ages, allowing your child to socialize with kids from different classes and different ages. The younger kids learn from the older kids, and the older kids learn to be more responsible and nurturing, taking care of the younger kids. When you put them on the bus with other kids, you teach them to take care of themselves, as well as, help others. Talking the school bus builds confidence, independence, empathy, and social skills.
School buses benefit the community
When you put your kids on the school bus, you are minimizing the number of cars on the road driving kids to and from school. Decreased traffic is better for the community and the environment. Don’t you want you kids to grow up with cleaner air and less traffic?
Decreases morning stress
When parents put their kids on the school bus, they eliminate the morning stress of getting everyone ready and in the car on time. You can slow down a bit in the morning, spending quality family time over breakfast. Then, once your kids are on the bus, you can take the time to get yourself ready for work.
