Please watch for Parent Bulletins. Age Children Show You Interes t Check homework, talk about what's happening in school, ask their friends over, and find time to see your children's teachers occasionally. Assign Kid-Size Chores Kids this age love to help. Just make sure the chores fit each child's capabilities.
Nothing makes a child lose interest faster than having to do something too difficult, or too easy.
Discipline Nothing helps your survival as a parent more than discipline. But, to be effective, discipline must teach a child how to avoid repeating misbehaviors and what to do instead. Use discipline sparingly. All children react better to approval and affection. Define clearly in advance, what you want them to do.
