¨ Enforce Healthy Habits: Choose a bedtime, provide healthy meals, and limit time on electronic devices.
¨ Stick to a Routine: Children strive on structure and when they know what to expect.
¨ Create a “Launch Pad”: Designate an area to keep all the items your child may need for school like backpack, jacket, books, etc.
¨ Designate a Quiet Space for Studying: Make sure your children have plenty of light and supplies to make it easier to complete homework.
¨ Promote Reading: Read to your children daily and listen to your children read.
¨ Promote Learning in your Everyday Lives: Teach your children about the way the world works and about real-life experiences.
¨ Be a Good Role Model: Display a good work ethic and take part in learning opportunities, and your children will model that behavior.
¨ Talk with your Children Every Day: Give your children a chance to talk about their feelings, thoughts, achievements, and disappointments and support and encourage your child.
¨ Show Interest in your Children’s Schoolwork and Activities: Meet the teachers and staff, volunteer at your children’s school, participate at school events, and ask questions.
