Twelve Things Parents Must Do
1. Be involved in their children’s education. Parent’s involvement helps students learn, improves attitude towards school and helps the student become successful.
2. Provide resources at home for reading and learning. Parents should have books and magazines for their children and read to or with their children each day.
3. Set a good example. Parents should show their children that they believe
reading is both enjoyable and useful. Television viewing must be monitored. They shouldn’t spend all of their time in front of the television.
4. Encourage children to do their best in school. Parents must indicate that they believe education is important and that they want their children to do their best they possibly can in school.
5. Emphasize academics. Too many parents get caught up in athletics, when academics should be their first concern.
6. Support school rules and goals. Parents should take care not to undermine school rules, discipline or goals.
7. Use pressure positively. Parents should encourage children to do their best, but should not apply too much pressure by setting unattainable goals or by involving them in too many activities.
8. Call teachers early if there is a problem (don’t wait for teachers to call you), so there is still time to improve the situation.
9. Accept the responsibility as parents. Do not expect the school and teachers to take over this job. Parents should make it their responsibility to teach their children basic discipline at home rather than to leave this task to the teacher.
10. View drinking by underage youth and excessive partying as a serious matter, not a joke. While parents are concerned about drug abuse, many fail to recognize that alcohol is the drug most frequently abused by children as well as adults.
11. Create a quiet and well lit area for the student to study. Contrary to what the child believes, they cannot watch TV., listen to the radio or CD, and talk on the phone while doing their homework. The child must concentrate on their homework only.
12. Make sure that the student gets eight hours of sleep on school nights. That means getting to bed at a reasonable time and getting up in time for school. Eating a proper breakfast will help students perform to the best of their ability at school.
