( 0 Votes )

Discuss the various programmes available at their school and how they can utilize such programmes positively. Show them how they can develop their own academic interests and hobbies through the available classes. Enquire from their teachers of clubs and other co-curricular activities, or a book fair where you can go with your child.

Encourage your child to join a few outdoor activities in schools. Don't put too much pressure on your child, but make sure they realize that school will affect their future. Make him see himself as an adult of tomorrow. Be supportive to your child in the provision of materials in his school activities in the specific field of his interests. Identify a model or mentor in the very field of his choice.

Friends influence behaviour

Parents must stay informed of their children’s progress in school. To keep informed, they have to visit teachers in school or talk with them over the telephone. Get to know the names of your children's friends. “Show me your friends and I will tell your character,”. Parents should advice their children on the type of friends they keep because these friends may determine the destiny of your children. Guide your child to select friends on the basis of their hobbies, academic interests and career choice. You should interact with friends of your children so that you are able to exercise the social responsibility of monitoring the behaviors and academic development of your children.

You work with schools to develop new strategies of getting more involved in your children’s academic life. You could participate in the arrangement of their personal timetables and ensuring that they do their homework correctly and at the right time.
