Stay Involved with School-Aged Kids

Even though you are super busy at work and home, it's vital that you are involved with your children's education. The younger your children, the more parental involvement is necessary! However, even when you have teens in high school, it's still important to be involved because parental involvement makes a positive difference (even though your children may not readily share that with you!).

Your kids start the school year with a clean slate and a new teacher. It's a great opportunity for a fresh start.

If you demonstrate how you value education it is more important than if you just talk about it. So, model the importance and help get your children off to a good start this new school year.

With older kids, seek their input about your role in their education for this school year. It might take awhile for the response to unfold, but when it does, you'll have some interesting conversations.

With younger kids, plan on spending time at the school during the first few weeks to get to know the teachers and other parents.

Finally, stay involved, but don't try to run the show, either. Just stay involved and aware of what's going on.
