Learning is a lifelong quest and in order for it to be a positive one, you need to have great study habits. In order for your children to start feeling positive about themselves they need to know that you care about him/her and want them to be successful in school. Children need to understand that learning is important as well as enjoyable. One of the biggest ways to help your child be successful in school is to help them to show you care.
1. Set ground rules at the beginning of the school year.
Make sure your child knows what time they need to go to bed at night and what time to get up in the morning (make sure they eat a nutritious breakfast every morning). Your child needs to know what time they need to catch the bus in the morning.
Expectations we have of ourselves are greatly influenced by the opinions we formulate about ourselves in childhood. We may think of ourselves as capable in some ways and not in others. When we achieve our positive expectations, we think of ourselves as successful.
