Bringing Out The Best In Kids - Getting Involved With Your Child's Education

Children benefit greatly when parents take an active role.  They are more likely to:

  • enjoy learning and school life
  • improve their skills and attitudes
  • do better in school
  • develop confidence in themselves
  • become better prepared for the future

Parents can get involved by "teaming up" with your child's school.  The keys are to:

  • Help your child get the most from studying. Set aside a quiet time.  Make a study center.  Help with homework.  Be available.  Set clear rules about study time.  Read together every day.
  • Get to know your child's teachers and counselor, subject matter and school policies.  Attend open houses.  Schedule parent-teacher conferences.  Build a good relationship.  Stay in touch.
  • Take part in school activities.  Lend your talents.  Volunteer.  Go to school functions.  Support fund-raising events. 
  • Show your child that you value education.  Encourage, don't discourage.  help your child be independent.  Set goals together. Talk positively about school. Be a positive role model.  Talk with your child.  Show your love.

Your child's education depends on teamwork and you'll benefit too, knowing that you're helping your child get a good education!
