Child Learning Game: School Success
If you’re like most parents, you want your child to succeed in school and to enjoy learning. You want school to be the best experience it can be. You know how important a good education is. Today, more students continue their education after high school and many more jobs require education and training beyond high school. Even jobs that don’t require a college degree demand increasingly advanced skills, such as being able to work with computers and other technology.
On these pages you’ll find four key ways to help your child succeed in school:
1 Be actively involved in your child’s education.
2 Support your child’s curiosity, intelligence, and hard work.
3 Help your child get organized.
4 Be a partner with your child’s school.
These are things every parent can do, no matter what your job or educational background may be. Many of the tips and suggestions in this booklet are things you may already be doing at home. There is advice on how to form good relationships with teachers, staff, and administrators at your child’s school. You’ll find tips on how to encourage hard work and positive motivation, and what to do about homework struggles. You’ll read about ways to participate in your child’s education every day, every week, all year long. These ideas will work whether your child is in elementary school, middle school, or high school. It’s never too late to help your child succeed. Helping our children do well in school is one of our most important responsibilities as parents, says school-success expert Barney J. Brawer, a former teacher and school principal. “We must support our children’s academic success and help them get on a path that opens up opportunities for the rest of their lives. It is one of the greatest gifts we can ever give them.”
