Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:        School is an important, unforgettable experience.

PRACTICE:   Today, think about when you were in school. Think about a specific grade in elementary, middle, or high school.

Why did you pick that grade? Was it a great year or a not-so-great year? Why?

Looking back, what made it great or what would have made it better? Is there anything about that year that is similar to what your child is experiencing now in school?

How can you help your child have a great year like you did, or how could you help your child avoid any of the problems you might have had in school?

Today’s Parenting Tip was inspired by our featured picture book, IGGY PECK, ARCHITECT.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
