School success begins at home

by David Luna September 1, 2019
written by David Luna September 1, 2019

Each year, as summer draws to a close and the school year begins, teachers, parents, and students alike all adapt to their new schedules. Check out these useful tips that can help make sure you are ready to make this school year one of the best.

What Can You Do at Home to Help Your Child Succeed in School?

Creating a home environment that encourages learning and schoolwork is paramount. Show your child that the skills taught at school are an important part of the things they will do as an adult.

Keep books, magazines and newspapers in the house. Let them see you reading books, newspapers and computer screens; writing reports, letters, e-mails and lists; using math to figure change or to measure for new carpeting; and doing things that require thought and effort.

Establish a daily family routine with time set aside for meals, homework, chores and bedtime.

Homework: What Can You Do to Help This Year?

Homework can have both positive and negative effects on children’s learning and attitudes toward school. Helping your child with homework is an opportunity to improve your child’s chances of doing well in school and in life. Here is a checklist for helping your child with homework:

  • Show that you think education and homework are important
  • Set a regular time every day for homework
  • Provide a well-lit, quiet place to study
  • Monitor assignments
  • Know what your child’s homework assignments are and how long they should take
  • Visually check that your child starts and completes the assignment
  • Provide guidance
  • Encourage your child to develop good study habits
  • Talk with your child about homework assignments to ensure they understand them
  • Talk with teachers to resolve problems
  • Meet with the teacher early in the year before any problems arise
  • Cooperate with the teacher to work out a plan and a schedule to solve homework problems
  • Follow up with the teacher and with your child to make sure the plan is working

I hope that you found this information helpful, as you get involved and stay involved in your child’s education. These tips will help prepare them for school success and a rewarding life of continuous learning.
