Parent Tips at Home |
- Continue to encourage your children to read. Don't let TV, video games, or friends absorb all their free time.
- Monitor computer activities such as MySpace and Facebook.
- Talk to your children about their specific interests related to school - subjects or teachers they like, clubs or extracurricular activities, books they are reading, projects they are working on, etc.
- Discuss their choice of courses with them so that they are well prepared for different options after high school.
- Begin discussing with them what they might like to do after they graduate from high school.
- Know your children's friends, where they live, and, if possible, their parents.
- If your children work part-time, make sure this doesn't interfere with schoolwork or getting a good night's sleep during the week.
- Continue to celebrate school successes with appropriate rewards. Even though they may seem embarrassed, your children will appreciate your enthusiasm for their good work.
