Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:      Teachers need to know the interests and talents of their students.

PRACTICE: Today, plan to talk to your child’s teacher about his special interests and talents. Call for an appointment; put it on your calendar.

When you are with the teacher, suggest that the teacher try to offer your child reading, math and/or science activities that connect with his interests and talents.

If you think your child dislikes school or is bored at school, share that with the teacher.

Let your child know how much fun you had telling the teacher all about him and his special interests and talents.

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.)
