Working Together!

Together we share one common goal-to help your son or daughter be successful in school.

Ways to help your child succeed at school.

A strong self-esteem plays a key role in how well your child does at school.

• Every day say, "Good job!" and, "I knew you could do it."
• Ask, "What do you think?"-and really listen to your son or daughter.
  

• All you really need is a work table in a relatively quiet place, good light, and a comfortable chair.
• Keep study materials close by like pencils, erasers, paper, ruler, and a dictionary.
• Plan specific times for studying.

• Every day say, "Tell me about it." Encourage your child to explain his/her assignment.
• Let them know,"I'm here if you need me."
• Be available during study times, but don't do it for them.

• Help your child search out answers, practice new skills, review, problem solve and discover.
• Together, hit the books at a library or search the Internet.
