It will be fun and you’ll see school from their eyes. Then you will be allowed to identify how your child really feels about their school.

Never fall into the trap of doing the job of the teacher. Do not let the teacher shift their role to your house.Their job is to connect with your child first. Then to start to teach. Without the connection there simply remains a conflict that builds over time. Too often the child ends up on the short end of that stick.

The child you see eating dinner is not the same one who attends school. The trick is to find your way into both worlds.

Most people originally come to us for help with their child having a math problem. However, the truth is after we screen them 95% have an issue with comprehension. Get your child to reading anything and everything as soon as possible.

Make sure your child is sitting in the first three rows of all their classes. This helps to resolve attention issues.

It takes courage for a child of any age to stand up in front of the class and show what they know. The more you encourage and reward your child to show versus hide their knowledge the less fear they have.

There’s just no way around the fact too often being a parent is a thankless job. You need a safe release for when the valve has to snap. Pick a favorite pillow to scream into and keep it nearby.

Children need to be children. Teenagers need to be teenagers. This is how they end up as productive adults.

It isn’t easy to do the right thing. When your child does make sure they know you’re proud.

For younger children get them to imitate their teacher and you’ll be surprised how much you learn. For teens listen to how they see the challenge. Then ask them how they’d solve the problem. This gets you beyond the wall of “everything is fine.”
