When it comes to success in school, children cannot do it alone; they need the
assistance of their parents. This book consists of many ways that parents can
help their child thrive in school. It covers students from pre-school to high
school. Areas like study skills, homework, math, reading and writing are
covered.

Read aloud to your child. Find books that explore your child's interests. Buy
your child an age-appropriate magazine subscription. Check out your local
library. Challenge your child with mental math problems. Help your child develop
common sense. Establish a homework routine. Require that your child keep a
homework assignment book, and check it nightly. Don't neglect your child's need
for help because you feel she should be able to do it alone. Teach your child to
think. Help your child investigate projects for extra credit. Honor your child's
opinions. Join the PTA and attend meetings regularly. Keep lines of
communications open with your children's teacher. Allow enough time in the
mornings. Know your child's friends. Kiss or hug your child each morning.

This is an excellent book. Even if the parent can do only a couple of things
mentioned here, that can only help the child. For any parent of a school-age
child, this is very much recommended.
