How to be a smart fourth grader
Don't fall behind with your schoolwork.
Do your homework first before watching tv or playing on the computer. When you start your homework early you have time to ask for help from your parents or siblings.

OUT: Waiting until it's late before starting homework can cause you stress, especially if you discover that there's a lot of work to do or if there is no one awake to help you out if you get stuck. Also, keep in mind that most teachers have heard all the excuses and usually won't believe your dog ate your homework.

How to create a wildflower garden
Decide where to create a garden with wildflowers.
Select a location that is similar to where the plants would grow in the wild. For instance, primrose grows along banks and rocky ridges, while columbine prefers the shade of trees.

OUT: The size of the growing area is entirely up to you. It is best if you can set it aside to grow wild once the seeds have been sown, so perhaps consider placing it away from areas of the garden, yard or land that are frequently tended, such as lawns and vegetable plots.

How to develop your daughter's self esteem
Let her make mistakes.
If you try to save your child from mistakes, she will feel incapable. When she is struggling with something, let her struggle.

OUT:
When she creates an imperfect product, let her experience the triumph of creation. Don't dive in every time you see her about to spill something or mess up a math problem.
