Tips for parents to help your student succeed
Content: It is not always possible---or advisable---for parents to give children what they want. Teach your child that rewards often come after hard work and effort. Find ways to help your child feel important. One study by the National Family Institute found that the average parent spends 14.5 minutes a day communicating with each child. Of that time, 12.5 minutes are devoted to parental criticism or correction. Not surprisingly, those behaviors lead many children to believe they do not matter to anyone, or that they can't do anything right. Make a special effort to tell your child every day that he is special. And so go the ideas in 106 Ways Parents Can Help Students Achieve. There you will find 101 more ideas where these came from! The booklet would make a perfect addition to a "parents' library" in your school or the ideas could be used as food-for-thought fillers in newsletters published by school principals or teachers.
