There are several things parents can do to facilitate their children's success in school. As parents you cannot drag your children off to Kindergarten and expect to pick them up 15 years later ready for college, careers and for the rest of their lives. Inshorts, parents must actively involved.
There are six things parents should do at home to enhance their children's success in school :-
1. TALKING TO CHILDREN, AND USING THE PROPER LANGUAGE.
Parents are encourgae to speak intelligently and in complete sentences, using the correct language of choice. Parents shoul talk to their children daily about matters of substance, such as current events, great ideas and the accomplishment of great people.
2. ENCOURAGE TO LEARN
Children are encouraged to leaarn, and respect the learning environment. Introduce your children to great people, livind and dead. Read the biographic of these people. help them to find honest-to-goodness heroes. Visit to museums, attendance at cultural events and trip to the librariesare just a few virtually cost free experiences that can enrich children's lives and point them to the right directions.
3. RAED TOGETHER WITH YOUR CHILD DAILY
It has proveb beyond any doubts that reading to childrenfor about 15 to 20 minutes a day has a remarkably profound and positive effect on how well they succeed in school. Research has found out that the best way to encourage children to read and to help them become a good reader, is to read with the children everyday for at least 15 to 20 minutes, It will make a tremendous difference in the child's later reading success.
4. SHARING OF PARENTAL ASPIRATION
Children need to know that their parents expect them to succeed. Declear your aspiration in language that stroke the child. For example "I want you to do well in school because I want you to be happy and able to obtain the things you want in your life."
5. PROVIDING DIRECT HELP WITH STUDIES
studies have shown that if parents spend as little as 30 minutes a day with a child in drill and practice exercise alone, academic cachievement increase dramatically and significantly. Learning is achieved an hour at a time, a day at a time. If parents are unable to help. they should find someone who can help.
6. ORGANISING TIME AND SPACE FOR SYUDY AND HOMEWORK
It is a rare student who is sufficientyly self-motivated to go directly home from school to a predetermined place in the house and complete his / her homework. gettinghomework done is almost always a function of direct and consistent parental influence and supervision. When we talk about organising time and space for study and homework we do not need to think in terms of an elaborate setting arrangement. A kitchen table is a very good study area. It is better if te television is not switch on or radio is not blasting away.
