It is important for parents and other adults to cooperate in order to have common goals for them.
Close communication is essential.
P arents can visit with teachers to discuss ways they and the school can reinforce the same lessons about good character. Children are less likely to do much homework, for example, if parents let them watch television for hours. P arents can learn from teachers what their children are studying and what interests them. A teacher or school librarian can provide good ideas for activities to do at home. P arents can cooperate with each other, too.
