Ways to Make Your Child Be Successful!

• Check your child's backpack everyday.
• Set a time to do homework.
• Have a quiet place your child can read and do homework.
• Stay in touch with your child's teacher through email, parent conferences, notes and telephone.

 

Helping your child be successful.

• Help children, when needed, to break a job down into small pieces, then do the job one step at a time. This works for everything--getting dressed, a job around the house, or a big homework assignment.
• Develop, with your child, a reasonable, consistent schedule of jobs around the house. List them on a calendar, day by day.
• Every home needs consistent rules children can depend on. Put a plan into action, and follow through.
• Give each child an easy-to-reach place in which to put things away.
• Set limits on TV viewing so that everyone can get work done with less background noise.
• Watch TV with your children and talk about what you see.
