parental involvement.

7. Tips for Parents to Get to Know Their Child's Scout/Guide performances
First of all, don't just show up at the school; make an appointment to visit. After you've made an appointment, go to the school; look around, talk to  people.  As appropriate, call or write to your child's Scout Master.  Talk to other parents about their experiences. Be sure to read the procedures of the scout and Guide. Take time to read the school newsletter. It may not always be convenient, but try to attend scout and Guide functions.

8. How Parents can Help with their Children's work
Communicate with your child about school. This includes talking to him about his friends, activities, teachers, and assignments. Show enthusiasm about school and homework. Set realistic goals for your child, and then focus on one at a time.

9. How Parents can Help with their Children's work
Help your child get organized. Break down assignments into smaller, more manageable parts. Set out needed items (clothes, homework, permission slips, etc.) the night before to avoid last-minute rushing around in the morning. Provide a quiet study corner in your home complete with paper, markers, a ruler, pencils and a dictionary. Never do your child's homework!

10. How Parents can Help with their Children's work
Check with your child's teacher about correcting homework. Expect, and praise genuine progress and effort. An opinion: don't praise or otherwise reward your child for doing what you and he know is expected. This practice leads you down a slippery slope, often with really bad consequences for you and your child. Be specific when you do praise something.

11. How Parents can Help with their Children's work
Focus on your child's strengths in school. Build associations between what is taught and what your child already knows and understands. Incorporate concrete materials and examples whenever possible, especially with younger children. Try to help your child learn about the subject in more than one way, using as many senses as possible.

12. How Parents can Help with their Children's Homework
Separate your child's school weaknesses from your child. If your child fails a test, that is all the child fails. He or she is not a failure.
