Show your child in many ways that education matters
When your child knows that school is important to you, it will become important to her. To show her, talk with your child every day about school. Tell her why you value education. Monitor her homework, and post her improved and successful work for all to see. Be sure your child has the school supplies she needs. And let your child know that you and her teachers are working together to help her succeed in school.

Muéstrele a su hijo de diversas maneras que la educación es importante
Si su hijo sabe que la escuela es importante para usted, también se convertirá en algo importante para él. Para mostrarle esto, hable de la escuela todos los días. Dígale por qué valora la educación. Supervise la tarea, y exhiba los trabajos que su hijo haya mejorado y en los que se haya destacado para que todos puedan verlos. Asegúrese de que tenga los materiales escolares que necesita. Y dígale que usted y sus maestros trabajan juntos para ayudarlo a tener éxito en la escuela.

Haga que aliviar el estrés sea parte de su rutina familiar
El estrés es parte de la vida cotidiana de las familias ocupadas. Y si su hijo está estresado, su éxito en la escuela podría verse perjudicado. Para aliviar el estrés en su hogar, establezca una rutina tranquila para después de la escuela y el trabajo que permita que su familia se reconecte. Podrían compartir un bocadillo saludable mientras comentan su día. Después de unos 15 minutos, todos estarán renovados y listos para ocuparse de las tareas de la noche, como preparar la cena y hacer la tarea.

Make stress relief a part of your family's routine
Stress is all too common in busy families. And when your child is stressed, it can affect his success in school. To reduce stress at home, create a peaceful after-school-and-work routine that lets your family reconnect. You might share a healthy snack while you talk together about the day. After 15 minutes or so, you'll all be more refreshed and ready to take on evening tasks such as cooking dinner or doing homework.

Stay in touch with your child's teachers all year long
To be an active partner in your child's education, communicate regularly with his teachers. Parent-teacher conferences are a start, but it's also important to stay in touch throughout the year. Ask the teachers for advice on how to help your child learn. Respond to report cards. Provide information about situations affecting your child. You could even say thanks when your child learns a new skill.

Help your child think about the sources of online information
Anyone can put up a website, and the digital world is filled with conflicting information. That's why it's important for students to learn to evaluate the material they read online. Does the source have a product to sell or a political agenda? Your child should take that into account. If experts seem to disagree, she should find out why. For example, is one source out of date, since newer research has been done?

Manténgase en contacto con los maestros todo el año
Para participar activamente en la educación de su hijo, comuníquese con los maestros regularmente. Las reuniones de padres son un buen comienzo, pero también es importante mantenerse en contacto durante el trascurso del año. Pregúnteles a los maestros cómo usted puede ayudar a su hijo a aprender. Responda a las boletas de calificaciones. Infórmeles sobre las situaciones que están afectando a su hijo. Incluso podría decirles gracias cuando su hijo aprende una habilidad nueva.

Each week, I post a series of articles to help RISD parents connect with their students. For more information on resources from The Parent Institute, please visit https://www.parent-institute.com/
Anime a su hijo para que tenga éxito con la tarea
Los estudios revelan que los estudiantes tienen una mayor capacidad de abordar con éxito la tarea escolar cuando sus padres los animan en lugar de darles órdenes. Los padres positivos nunca dejan que sus hijos se menosprecien a sí mismos, y constantemente les dicen cosas como, "Sí, es difícil, pero has hecho tareas tan difíciles como esta en el pasado. ¡Tú puedes hacerlo!" De este modo, sus hijos comienzan a creer el mensaje y abordan los desafíos.

Cheer your child on to success with homework
Research says that students are better able to tackle challenging homework assignments when their parents act like cheerleaders rather than drill sergeants. Cheerleader parents never let their children put themselves down. They consistently say things like, "Sure, this is hard, but you've done work this hard before. You can do it!" And their children begin to believe the message and rise to the challenge.

To boost interest in reading, connect with authors
Encourage your child's interest in reading by helping her find out more about her favorite living author. Most writers love hearing from children who like their books. Suggest that your child write the author a letter. Send it in care of the publisher (look in one of the author's books for the address), or check online to see if the author has a website with contact information. The author may even write back!

Please come out to support the Royal Falcons as they go for the win in the Fulshear basketball tournament!
Establish the ground rules for effective discipline:
Creating and enforcing a basic list of rules can prevent a lot of power struggles with your child. Just make sure your rules are reasonable, that your child understands them, and that you consistently enforce the consequences for breaking them. That way, when your child wants to watch TV and you say "Homework first. It's the rule," he'll probably get to work without much grumbling.

Check your child's backpack for conversation starters:
If all you hear from your child about school is that it was "fine" or "boring," the papers in her backpack are a perfect conversation starter. Kids who won't respond to general questions like "How was school?" will often answer specific ones like "How did you use this map in class?" If you find artwork in your child's bag, ask what she was thinking when she made it. Spelling words? Ask which are easy and which are hard.

A chore chart makes responsibility clear:
To help your child learn responsibility, get him involved in family chores. Create a family chore chart, listing everyone's assignments. Post the chart where it can be seen. When your child completes a task, it is his responsibility to check it off. If he forgets, it's automatically his turn to do that chore again. This system encourages kids to take responsibility, both for doing chores and keeping correct records.
