What’s “The Right Stuff” For Schoolkids?

A fresh new school year is nearly here.. or maybe just started, depending on your location. How the year turns out for your children depends on what they know, certainly. But much of kids’ school success depends on other things that are more basic and these things are the same for all students, no matter how young or how old. The good news here is that all of these factors are things every parent can do something about.

So what’s the magic?

Study after study demonstrates that children do well when…
1. They believe in themselves
2. They know how to learn things
3. They have good learning role models
4. The home and school work well together

Hmm… these things might be basic but they’re not simple. Suddenly cramming the times tables with your fourth grader or teaching your preschooler to count to 20 seems easy. So how do you do all this “basic” stuff? How do you help your child with things that really matter?

The quick answer is this: kids do well when parents are tuned in to children’s thought processes and levels of understanding; and kids do well when parents believe children will do well and when parents believe the school is up to its job too.

Effective parents think effective thoughts and take effective action.

The longer answer is, you can do this but you need some help. Get the help you need at our webinar, Essentials of School Success. This online workshop is fully interactive, so you can ask questions and get answers on the spot. And it’s just right for parents of children just starting preschool or group care all the way through to parents of children starting high school or college – and every point in between. Two convenient dates and times are offered, or register and get the download later.
