Ways Parents Can
Support Their Child at Home and at School
- Praise your child daily for
specific accomplishments.
- Take your child to the
library, to community activities, and to museums.
- Set limits on
TV-watching. Be selective about what
your child views.
- Ask your child about school
work and homework daily.
- Provide structure by
creating rules, routines, and chores at home.
- Create a special area for
books and homework. Teach your child to
check this area as he or she leaves for school.
- Provide a quiet, well-lit
place with plenty of books in your home and/or vehicle where your child can
study.
- Keep your child healthy by
taking him or her for regular checkups, keeping immunizations current,
providing a balanced diet, and making sure he or she gets regular exercise.
- Notify your child’s teacher
of any medical concerns.
- Try to schedule
appointments after school hours, so that your child does not fall behind at
school.
- Make it a priority to get
to school on time to teach responsibility and the importance of an education.
- Read to your child and
encourage him or her to read to you. Be
a reading role model by letting your child see you read.
- Set and maintain high
expectations for your child.
- Encourage your child to
take responsibility for their own actions.
