Every parent wants their child to be the best they can be in school and everything they may do in their lives. But, sometimes as parents we don’t always know how to effectively help our children without making them feel intimidated. Here are a few tips on how to help your child do their best at school!

Get to know your child’s teacher very early in the school year. Don’t let open house night be the only time you go to the school and meet with your children’s educators. Be sure to introduce yourself at the first opportunity and find out the best ways to contact your child’s teacher throughout the school year. Most teachers have e-mail now, which is a great way to touch base with one another.

Be sure to let your child’s teacher know what’s going on at home that may affect your child’s performance at school such as a death in the family or a new sibling. Ask your child’s teacher how your child is doing in different subjects so you can head off trouble before it starts!

Allow your child to make mistakes, so they can learn from them. Teachers know there is no perfect student who knows everything. After all, children are at school to learn! It’s important for teachers to see what material a child gets wrong so they know what needs to be gone over again at school.

If your child is struggling with homework assignments don’t just give them the right answers! Help your child brainstorm possible solutions for the problems or give them hints at how to do the work. Encourage your child to ask his teacher for help at school the next day if they are still struggling after you’ve brainstormed and hinted.

Remember, even big assignments should be done by your child. Its O.K. to assist your child in spelling a big word or perhaps in drawing a line on a poster their having trouble getting straight, but don’t do it all for them! A child cannot learn from their assignment if their parents are doing it for them! This also takes away from the pride they can feel when they complete their work and accomplish a good grade for it. So try your best not to take over a big project!

Always remember to stay involved with your child’s schoolwork, even if you aren’t sure how to do the material. You can provide your child with much needed support and motivation by being there for them and paying close attention, even if you did poorly in a certain subject when you were in school.

Even if you can’t check your child’s algebra homework because you aren’t good at it, doesn’t mean you can’t go over the work with your child and ask them questions about the material. You never know, your own skills might improve!

Taking an active, caring role in your child’s education is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child. As parents, we don’t have to be overbearing and strict to ensure that our children are doing their best and receiving a good education. Just remember that your child’s teacher is on your side, work with those educator’s as often as possible and keep the lines of communication open.

Tutors often have parents resort to hiring them as “enforcers of homework time.” In other words, a stranger is called in because he or she holds power over reluctant students and has the paid time to watch over their shoulders. Indeed, getting kids to do homework can be one of the most frustrating tasks parents face. When kids don’t get their homework done, they end up lacking basic conceptual understanding, and report card grades begin to slide downhill. To prevent your kid’s academic struggles from escalating, it might be time to put some new tactics into practice. If you are faced with a kid that isn’t doing his or her homework, try keeping these things in mind. 

Don’t let kids get too tired before they start their homework. Many kids struggle to keep their eyes open following after-school activities. When tired, kids cannot concentrate, have a difficult time following directions, and cannot learn new concepts.

Keep activities pared down to what the kids are most interested in, and schedule them so that homework can generally be completed first. Talk to them about the situation and explain that participation in activities and time to play with friends is contingent on getting homework done after school. To compensate, consider allowing them to stay up a little later at night so they have “decompression” time to look forward to when they are done. Turn the TV off during homework and keep distraction to a minimum. Many parents send their kids away from the TV to do homework, but even from another room, the noise is often very distracting. Instead, try providing company and take some time out yourself by reading a book nearby.

Set aside a place in the house for homework. For many kids, this entails a quiet spot at a desk or table. However, some actually seem to work best in an area closer to the buzz of family activity. Make sure to get his or her input on the best place for concentration. The important thing is that kids associate a certain place for homework and concentration. Discourage him or her from using the place where he or she usually sleeps, watches TV, etc as a homework place.

Genuinely praise efforts to work on homework and persistence in understanding new material. Highlight specific achievements. For instance, “I’m really proud of you for sticking with those Spanish verbs.” This is important for kids of all ages who often get discouraged when they feel that they can’t live up to their parent’s grade expectations. It has been proven that kids see through more generic praise such as “good job” and don’t absorb it as positive reinforcement.

In order to be able to use specific praise, it is necessary to know which concepts your kids are working on in school. Stay abreast of their homework and the skills they are covering in class. Don’t be intrusive, but always keep an open dialog about their studies.

Talk to your kids about the homework situation as though you are partners trying to find a solution together. Be serious, but not condescending, and ask them for their input on how to make it better. Tackle these homework problems as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the harder they are to fix.

Finally, do not offer to pay kids for report card grades. It has been shown that external positive reinforcement can actually decrease a student’s natural interest and motivation in an activity. Furthermore, they learn to associate reward with a letter grade instead of hard work (and these two things do not always correspond with each other).

There are three basic learning styles. They are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. People with a visual style of learning may find it easier to understand pictures, diagrams or slides. Those who are auditory learners may understand most easily when instructions are spoken to them in a step-by-step manner or by listening to someone discuss the process. Kinesthetic learners use the sense of touch and feeling when learning. These are the people who usually prefer hands on experience.

Most people learn through a combination of these learning styles although one style of learning may be stronger and therefore easier for them to learn in that particular manner since it is the dominant style of the individual. You can help your child to learn quicker and more effectively if you pay close attention to his or her learning style. It is usually fairly simple to determine your child’s learning style.

Is he drawn to visual aids such as pictures and posters? Is he imaginative? Does he look directly at you when speaking? Does he remember faces or places easily? If the answer to these questions is yes then he is more than likely a visual learner.

Is your child distracted by noise? Is it difficult for him to concentrate with others around? Is he a good listener? Does he like to talk on the phone? If this sounds like your child his style of learning is probably auditory.

Is your child a hands on type of person? Is he among the first to jump right in and try something new? Does he prefer to figure things out on his own? More than likely his style of learning is kinesthetic.

If you’ve ever noticed, you’d see that schools and other learning institutions use a variety of teaching methods that incorporate all the learning styles. One teacher that has a classroom full of students is unable to cater to the individual needs of each child’s unique learning style and so the best way of assuring that each child will learn is to utilize each learning style.

But some children do require individualized attention to their particular learning styles and as a parent you are in a better position to see that those needs are met. Once you have determined your child’s particular learning style, homework and studying will become less of a chore for your child and for you. For example, if your child’s learning style is visual you can help him by drawing pictures. Get him to draw along with you. Don’t worry if drawing is not your strong point. It is the visual act that aids your child in learning and helps to stimulate his active imagination.

By helping your child to understand how he learns and by teaching him to use a variety of methods that relate to his personal learning style, learning will become easier and less stressful. His grades will improve and he may even enjoy doing his homework. Well, a parent can dream, can’t she?

Every parent can agree that their child is the most important thing in their life, so why wouldn’t they want to give them an extra boost in the area that means the most… their education. It may be a little early to start thinking about how to prepare them for college, especially if they are only a couple of years old, but there are a few things that parents and guardians can do now to make sure that their little bundle of joy has the most opportunity to succeed in life later on.

From when they are born to age two, children’s minds are like sponges, they can soak up all the information that is provided to them with little to no effort. How else do you think that toddlers learn how to speak a language, or use their own motor functions? Children learn how to do things by watching the other people in their life doing them, such as a child with an older brother or sister just a few years older than them might potty train or learn how to speak at a younger age by observing their sibling doing these things and wanting to be just like them. This doesn’t mean that families with only one child will have a harder time teaching their child how to do things, it just takes a little extra bit of effort. With the right amount of effort, parents could even give their toddlers a head-start on how much they know by the time they are ready to go into Kindergarten.

Letting your child help out around the house.

Involving your toddler in housework and cooking isn’t that hard or time consuming, it can even be a time saver considering it is an easy way to make sure they are occupied and within your sight while you do the work you already had to do. Ways to involve your son or daughter in simple cooking work can be as simple as letting them get an empty pot for you from a cupboard close to the ground or they can be as complex as letting them mix a salad together, as long as you don’t mind the possibility of a mess it can be fun to watch them try. Toddlers can also get involved in cleaning up by putting their toys back into their toy box and putting their dirty clothes into a laundry basket.

Allowing your toddler or young child to help out around the house not only gets your work done faster and with less effort (or depending on the child, slower and with considerably more effort) but it does all sorts of great things for their self esteem. A child who is taught from a young age that they don’t need to be older to be responsible and trusted to help out has more self esteem as they age. They are taught that they don’t have to be limited by age and they will strive to help out more when they do get older with harder tasks just because they know that they can.

Letting your children help out around the house also has the benefits of not just improving their self esteem but also adding the entertainment of them doing “big people work.” You will find that the same work that is tedious and boring to us, can be exciting and fun for them especially if they are allowed to help out. Doing dishes is a boring task that everyone has to do atleast once a day, if not more, but for toddlers and small children it can be fun to do something that Mommy or Daddy do every day. You shouldn’t trust children with heavy or breakable dishes, and certainly not knives or forks but handing them a plastic plate or a pot and a drying cloth will occupy them long enough to get the rest of your dishes done, instead of relying on a television to keep them busy.

Letting your son or daughter watch you do your daily routine.

It may be too time consuming to let a young child help you with your morning routine as you shave, put make-up on, get dressed and prepare what you need that day, but it is simple and quick to get them involved without taking a lot of extra time to do so. If you aren’t in a rush, set your child on the counter with you as you get ready for work, school or just to go out. They get to watch what you do every day to look and smell clean, presentable and ready to face the day. If you have even a little extra time, let them get involved with just the small things, like wetting your toothbrush or filling a cup up with water for you. They’ll be proud of what they’ve done to help you, and they will know just what it takes each day to keep Mommy or Daddy looking so good.

It will also promote good hygiene to your child by showing them that their parents have to bath or shower just as much as they do, and that brushing your teeth isn’t just for little kids, it is for everyone. They might even want to take those extra steps in taking care of themselves just so that they can pretend that they are just like Mommy by washing their faces every morning or just like Daddy by flossing their teeth just before they go to bed. Make sure you help them out though, not just for safety reasons, but to give them some pride as they show you what they can do.

Forget the television and the ‘educational’ toys.

Big corporations make a fortune off of selling toys to parents that are intended on teaching their children colors, shapes and numbers. In reality, the same learning can be done on your own and for free. Get some different colored balloons and have them point out all of the different colors that they can see, try to get them to count them for you, maybe even see if the balloons come in more shapes than just a circle. If they are older than toddler-aged, get them to tell you how they know a circle from a square, and how many sides each shape has.

Same goes for the television, while it is okay to let your children watch those educational shows that teach them things like animals and sounds, it is much more beneficial for your child and even yourself to learn these things together. Take your son or daughter to the zoo for a few hours, pick a few animals that you know they would like and go to their exhibits. Watch the animals for a little while, maybe even try to teach your child which sounds these animals make. Go on a walk to a local park and point out the birds or animals to them, talk about what these animals do for the winter or what they do in the summer. Even going to the museum on a trip for yourself can be made child friendly by introducing some paintings or exhibits that they might find interesting.

Not only do they learn a lot more in a one on one setting where they can ask questions if they don’t understand or they want to learn more, they will retain a lot more of it from actually experiencing these animals, exhibits and wildlife. Polar Bears seem more interesting seeing them up close through a glass wall, than in cartoon form on a television screen. As well, it will be more easily remembered spending the day together not just learning but having fun too rather than spending half an hour watching a television show.

Establish a schedule and rules to help them get ready for school.

Schedules will one day be very important in your child’s life, perhaps earlier than you actually expected, in fact schedules can start as early as daycare and kindergarten for a child. As they make the leap from being at home all-day to being in a more structured situation, the leap from being able to do what they want whenever they want to only have an hour to play outside and only thirty minutes to eat lunch can be kind of scary. The best way to make this easier on them is to teach them schedules and rules when they are young, you do not have to give them a precise allotted time to do each task, but you can monitor how long they are outside each day and try to serve them lunch at the same time every day. It would help more if the schedule being taught to your child is roughly the same schedule they go by at the school they are going to go to, this way they can be immersed in the routine before having to be.

Rules can also be a very important thing to teach, while there may already be basic rules in place at your household like not cussing or hitting other people, it may be a good idea to focus on rules about sharing with other people, taking turns with a book or toy and using an indoor voice. This way when they go to school they will already know what behaviour they should not display at school because it is the same behaviour that would get them in trouble at home.

In the end, parents are the ones who really choose just how much of a head-start a child has on their education by how much effort they put into increasing the capacity of their intellect, their motor skills and their behaviours. Therefor the parents who put a lot of effort into teaching a child more than what they would learn just growing up, will end up with a more balanced and prepared child than the parents who do not put in as much effort to see that their child gets into good habits already. It is up to them about how forward they want their child to be with their academics at a young age and for most parents, you will find that they will do whatever it takes to help their child strive in life. After all, a child’s mind is too precious of a thing to waste.

When you help your kids to love reading, you provide a gift that will enrich their personal and professional lives for years to come. Even though teachers play an important role, parents are a child’s first teachers. To nurture the love of books, parents should begin reading to their children as soon as possible.

Consider the following tips to help build literacy skills in your child at every stage of development.

How to Help Younger Children Love Reading 

1. Start by reading to your baby. It’s never too soon to get started. Read to your baby for a few minutes at a time until their attention span grows. Point to the pictures. Use rhymes and songs to teach language skills.

2. Continue reading books aloud as your child grows older. Reading to your child is one of the most valuable ways to spend your time together. Make story time a regular routine before bed or anytime that works with your daily schedule.

3. Make reading fun and interactive. Train yourself to read in an animated fashion. Encourage your child to read some passages aloud to you or to their brothers and sisters. Share questions about what you read together or make up your own variations on the story.

4. Enlist your child’s teacher as an ally. Develop regular communications with your child’s teacher. Be open to feedback provided. Teachers may spot any areas of weakness in reading skills that you can work to correct before they become serious issues. They can also help recommend titles that your child might enjoy.

5. Visit your local library and bookstores. Take your child along to the library and to children’s events at local bookstores. Get them a library card of their own as soon as they’re old enough to do so.

6. Encourage your child to write. Giving your child opportunities to write will help reinforce their literacy skills. Leave each other notes on the refrigerator. Write emails and greeting cards together. 

How to Help Older Children Love to Read

1. Set an example of reading for pleasure. You may need to set an example in your own home to counteract trends that show a general decline in the reading of books. Let your preteens see you reading. Help them develop their critical thinking skills by discussing books as part of everyday conversations.

2. Help your teen find time to read. The average teen spends a lot of time on social activities and electronic media. You can set reasonable limits, such as a nighttime curfew on using cell phones and watching TV.

3. Build a home library. Keep reading material available around the house. Create a comfortable and inviting space for family members to read. If you don’t have an extra room, you can still set aside a corner of the living room or den.

4. Look for books that reflect your teen’s interests. Let your teen pick their own books as long as the titles are age appropriate. Stay up to date on zombies, werewolves, and other popular trends.

5. Integrate reading into fun family activities. If your teen is reading Hamlet in their English class, offer to take them to a live performance. If they enjoy a movie based on a Jane Austen novel, buy them the paperback. Take the opportunity to re-read it yourself so you can discuss it.

6. Be realistic. The teen years can be a busy and difficult time. Celebrate any progress you make without exerting so much pressure that your good intentions backfire.

Reading for pleasure broadens the mind and enriches our shared cultural and civic life. You can help your children get off to a good start by learning to love reading. It will help build basic comprehension skills and change their lives for the better.

Many children think that the first line of a story or essay is always the main idea.  To help them understand that the main idea is what the whole story is about tell them to “think of a story as a meal.”  It starts with an appetizer whose job it is to entice the reader to continue.  We often call this first paragraph the introduction.  It’s followed by the side dishes which add a variety of flavors to the story, or additional information to make it fuller.  The main dish is the meat of the meal or the main focus, the main idea.  Dessert is the final part of the meal where the story winds down to a conclusion.

What we are looking for in the main idea of a story is simply the main course of the dinner, the “meat.”   A good way for children to start this process is by putting things in categories such as things you wear, fruits, or vegetables.   When they come up with a list of clothing items, discuss that  the broad term or main idea is that they are all things you wear.

Next, go into finding the actual main idea of stories.  Start with non-fiction books, because they are much easier for a young child to understand.  Then, go into fiction stories.  Here are a couple of games that will help children practice finding the topic sentence or main idea.

Guess the Topic!

Write a paragraph that doesn’t have a topic sentence and have the child guess the topic.  Just write supporting sentences.

For example, you could say,  “You color with them.  They come in many different colors.  You can make beautiful pictures with them.”  When they guess crayons, ask them if it would have been easier to start the paragraph with, “I love crayons?”

Topic Sentence Match Up!

Understanding the main idea of a paragraph can be tough for beginning readers.  Here’s an exercise you can do to help them see the difference between the main idea and the supporting facts.

Write each topic sentence on a separate index card.

Topic:  Dogs are friendly animals.

Topic:  I love the winter.

Topic:  Candy isn’t good for you.

Write each detail on a separate index card.

Detail:  They are always waiting for their owners to come home.

Detail:  They want to sit with you.

Detail:  There are a lot of fun things to do, like sledding and snowball fights.

Detail:  We go skiing.

Detail:  Every time I eat it, I get a stomachache.

Detail:  It’s not good for my teeth.

Mix them all up, turn them face up, and match up a topic with two details.

Main Idea Flower Diagram

Another great teaching tool is to diagram the main idea of a paragraph by using a picture of a flower with a thick stem, a large round center and four long petals.  The main idea goes on the stem. The topic sentence is written in the center.  The four details are written on the petals.

Soon your child will be picking the main idea out of every paragraph or story.  This skill will help them understand what they are reading.  Better reading comprehension skills will build a firm foundation for your child’s education.  This is necessary for understanding textbooks in science and social studies.  When they understand what they are reading, they will retain more information, and enjoy learning.

Parents all around the world can attest to the difficulty of raising children – especially the challenges of unsatisfactory grades on a child’s report card.

Do you find yourself wishing there was a way to help your child get better grades? Are you concerned that your child isn’t performing to the best of his or her ability?

You can’t spend every day at school analyzing what is preventing them from doing better on tests and exams. However, you can make some adjustments at home to better prepare them to succeed in school.

These suggestions may be exactly what your child needs to ensure he or she has better grades on the next report card:

1. Cut down, rather than eliminate, playtime. Poor grades on your child’s report card could be an indication that not enough time is put into studies or that too much time is spent recreationally. However, the answer isn’t to eliminate playtime altogether. It’s important that there is balance in your child’s life.

• Increase the time spent on studies and homework if your child tends to neglect them. However, more effective use of the time spent may be the better technique if your child is spending time on his studies. Reduce distractions and help explain important concepts.
• Allow more recreation on the weekend so your child can take a real break from the books.

2. Encourage reading. Reading is one of the core subjects that aids in a child’s development and progress. However, not all kids like to read the books required by their school because they may not be interesting to them. Try to find more interesting reading formats that will likely catch the attention of your young one:

• Get books that use more illustration than normal; pictures help break the monotony of reading that usually turns kids off.
• Outside of the books that are required for school, choose books with subject matter that will appeal to your child’s interests.

3. Provide games that strengthen their weaknesses. If math and problem solving are weak areas for your child, buy games that require more logic and reasoning than normal.

4. Keep meals consistent. Often, if there’s too much time in between meals, it becomes very easy for the brain to shut down and lose focus. This happens to children as well. You can prevent this scenario by ensuring meal times are consistent so the brain is always adequately fed.

5. Consider a tutor. Some children learn better one-on-one. It’s possible that your child isn’t doing well in class because there’s not enough attention being paid to his or her needs. Extra classes outside of school will give your child the attention needed to truly grasp concepts and understand a subject.

These tips will help you steer your child toward better grades and develop the skills necessary to excel in school. Every child is different, and their needs may change from time to time, so you must remain diligent about finding solutions that work for them. The sooner you’re able to pinpoint their specific weaknesses, the faster you can take steps to correct them.

At the end of the day, the more time spent addressing the educational needs of your child, the greater the likelihood they will do well in school!

Here are a few essential guidelines for home tuition success:

1. Explain the reasons for home tuition to your child. Children perceive the world differently than adults. Your goal is to make the home tuition process go as smoothly as possible in order for your child to receive the maximum benefit.

• There are many reasons you may seek academic help for your child. Your child may be below grade level. Or you may want your child to advance beyond his current grade level. Whatever the reason for searching for a tutor, your child needs to understand the benefits that home tuition will provide.

2. Encourage your child to share feelings. Many children, especially those who may be facing difficulty in school, may be reluctant to share their feelings about the tutor or the home tuition process.

• Spend time to discuss with your child his specific hopes and fears about the area of study or school in general. The more you know about your child’s feelings, the better the whole process will unfold.

3. Buy new notebooks and supplies. Never underestimate how much children love to use new notebooks, pens, and pencils! Find school supplies that have your child’s favorite movie or sports star printed on it. Just having these visual reminders of beloved people or events eases a child’s anxieties and increases receptiveness to learning.

4. Praise your child’s accomplishments in the classroom. Every child loves praise and has achieved some things in the classroom that are worthy of compliments. Tell your child how proud you are of his accomplishments. Explain to your child that home tuition will only increase success.

5. Assure your child of your help. Your child may fear that tutoring will be an unbearable burden. Assure him that you or another knowledgeable adult will always be there to assist him with any problems that may arise.

• Tell your child that, even if you’re unsure of the concept being taught, you’ll help seek out resources to solve the problem together. In this way, your child will be reassured that you’re both in this together!

6. Provide incentives. Teachers use incentives to increase effort and interest in the classroom. This strategy works because the kids love receiving prizes and they get the children to do their best. Think about ways your child is motivated to work toward particular goals.

• Something as simple as a trip to favorite restaurant or an afternoon at the park can provide that extra spark your child needs to succeed at a task. Your child will look forward to each home tuition session with the knowledge that he’s one step closer to that desirable incentive.

By following these easy guidelines, you can enable your child to be fully prepared and ready for tutoring and academic success!

Kids can be a full time job! But among the seemingly never-ending list of important tasks, one of the best things you can do for your child is to ensure their schooling experience is successful and worthwhile.

The following strategies have been proven to help many parents turn their children into victorious scholars! Read on to discover these successful techniques:

1. Spend time discussing school. Kids are generally happy-go-lucky people and it’s sometimes hard for parents to figure out that something isn’t going right at school. This is why having casual discussions about school with your child is very important. Asking the following questions can help ensure there’s nothing affecting your child negatively at school:

• Are you getting along well with other kids?
• Do you enjoy answering questions in class?
• What’s your favorite subject?
• Do you want to participate in any extra-curricular activities?

2. Check regularly for homework. In most cases, kids get homework every day, even if the assignments are small. However, they don’t always remember to do the assignments and end up losing marks at school. To help out that situation, you can:

• Ask your child every day what was done in class and whether the teachers asked students to bring in any assignments the next day.
• Do an occasional scan through your child’s school notebooks looking for assignments and upcoming tests.
• Make periodic calls or visits to the schools if you notice your child hasn’t been doing any homework assignments.

3. Keep an open relationship with teachers. Many kids don’t feel comfortable telling their parents when school isn’t going well. Perhaps it’s out of fear, embarrassment, or shame. Developing a close relationship with the teachers can help you keep track of what’s happening at school.

• Provide them with your contact numbers and let them know you’re available anytime.
• Make sporadic visits to the school just to keep communication open.
• Make random “gifts” of appreciation to the teachers for the help they’re giving your child; even verbally expressed gratitude can go a long way!

4. Ensure proper nutrition. If your child isn’t getting the grades you hoped, maybe something is affecting his or her ability to adapt, concentrate, and grasp what’s being taught. Proper nutrition plays a big part in enabling your child to succeed. As a parent, you could:

• Pack their lunch box with healthy snacks like fruit and veggies, instead of chips and cookies.
• Investigate the lunch options at school to ensure they’re nutritious.
• Take your child to the doctor for a check-up to be sure they’re not being affected by any vitamin deficiencies.

5. Balance work and play time. If you leave it up to kids, they’ll want to play all the time and work very little or none at all! Help your child learn to balance work and play time. Overdoing playtime could be contributing to those not-so-good grades at schools. Always endeavor to:

• Check for homework and make sure it’s done before the TV gets turned on.
• Restrict playtime to earlier evening hours so your child’s rest isn’t affected.
• Check with teachers to find out if your child plays around a lot in class.

While you may feel overwhelmed at times when it comes to raising your child, you can help them succeed if you focus on these simple strategies.
