Family play a vital role in educating children. What families do more important to student successes than whether they are rich or poor, whether they have finished high school or not, or whether children are in elementary or high school. It’s no surprise to anyone that children need time with their parents. And even though most parents are extremely busy, whether they work outside of the home or not, they do find time to spend with their children.

            What counts most is what we say and do at home. When children can count on getting  attention at home, they have a greater sense of security and self worth. This will help them to do better not only in school, but also when they grow old.

            Communication, this is probably the most important activity we can do in our homes. Ask question, listen for answers. These are no-cost, high value things to do. Helping your child succeed in school is one of the most successful attainments of the parents. Teaching and learning are not mysteries that can only happen in school. They can also happen when parents and children do simple things together.

            When our children enter and continue school with good habits of communication, they are in position to succeed, to learn all that has to be learned and to become confident students.
