Your child is heading back to school soon. Besides shopping for backpacks and new shoes, what should you be doing to get your child ready? NJEA & HEA has tips and advice to help parents prepare their children for a successful school year.
•Plan a route - If your child walks or bikes to school, walk the route and emphasize safety.
•Visit the school - Try to meet the teacher too!
•Set goals with your child - Create frequent rewards for success.
•Make a schedule - Set aside time each day for studying, reading and playing.
