How Can Parents Help At Home? Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Reading Help Homework   Spelling Ideas Two Important Tips • Consider the time you have to help, and pick those activities you have the time and energy to direct and supervise. • Save time after each session, for you and your child to look at what has been accomplished and take pride in all successes. Working together WE CAN make a difference! How Parents Can Help With School You can help your children's school do a better job if you: Communicate often with the teacher. Attend parent conferences. Attend school events. Know what your child is studying. Ask your children to talk about their school day. If it's important to you, it becomes important to them. • Make sure your child attends school regularly. Be sure your child gets to school on time. TURN THE TV OFF! Make watching TV a special event; too many children spend too many hours watching television. Limit and know what they are watching! If your children have subjects they are enthusiastic about, let them teach you something about those areas of knowledge. Recognize Achievements A child who receives recognition for academic achievement is much more likely to want to excel in school. Volunteer! Parents need to be involved, interested, and concerned. This shows your child that you care about school and learning. The more we work together, the more we'll help our children.
