Ways to Help Your Child Succeed in School:
- Limit chaos in the mornings. You want it to be drama free so that your child starts school with a calm spirit.
- Take the time to read everything that is sent home from school.
- Watch educational channels instead of more popular shows.
- Use the time in the car to discuss what your child is learning in class.
- Review all homework assignments . . . do not DO all homework assignments.
- Go to school events where parents can participate.
- Give your child "surprise" encouragements, like a small note in their lunch box that only they will see or know what it means.
- If your child is memorizing something for school, you learn it too and practice it together.
