Work with you child. Helping your child study sight words, practice reading and memorizing math facts will make your child feel more confident.

Look at your child's papers often. When you show an interest in what they are doing, often the child works harder to succeed.

Setting limits helps your child see your priorities. Donít be afraid to set limits for TV, radio, and video games, especially during study time.

Teach your child to be responsible. Your child is a student, so make them responsible for their education, such as packing their own backpack and setting it by the door.
