Parents play a key role in the education of their children, regardless of the child's age.
Talk with your child's teachers regularly to discuss how your child is doing in school and what you can do to help him or her improve. Meet with you child's teachers or the school principal to discuss the school's test scores and the expectations for learning for these assessments. Discuss with your child what he or she is reading and the projects your child is working on in school, no matter how old your child is. When doing household projects, such as laying out a garden, building a fence, or building a shed, have your child do the math involved in planning the project. Provide a quiet place for you child to study.
