🌹Send your child off to school with a hug.
🌹Attend all events at your child's school, even if it means adjusting work schedules. If possible, both parents should attend.
🌹Make it a habit to talk to your child about her day-show an interest in the smallest details of your child's life.
🌹Establish a relationship of trust with your child's teacher(s).
🌹Get to know your child's closest friends. Invite them home.
🌹Always keep the channels of communication open-do not dismiss any complaint your child may have about school, but use your
judgement before reaching any conclusion.
🌹Check your child's diary everyday for notices and updates.
🌹Pack your child a healthy lunch. Make sure it is something she likes to eat. Once a week, give your child her favourite meal even if it is
not too wholesome!
🌹Praise your child's efforts--it does not matter if your child's academic results are not great.
🌹Do not be a pushy parent-do not pressure your child towards academic achievement or any activity they are not happy to participate in.
Happy with Friends
🌹Know all your child's friends, the invisible and imaginary ones, too!
🌹Respect your child's friends--you may not like a certain friend, but you must respect the choice she has made.
🌹You can gently caution against certain traits in her friends, but do not nag-it could be counter-productive.
🌹Do not blame your child's friends for her bad habits. Reason with your child and explain clearly why you feel that a particular habit your child has is inappropriate.
🌹If there are any rules/deadlines that you want to set regarding playtime, visiting friends or parties, be sure both parents agree and stick to them-varying signals can confuse a child.
🌹Do not invade your child's privacy-some aspects of her friendships can be out of bounds for you. Treat that as normal and healthy.
🌹Do not force children into relationships with kids you approve of-allow them to form their own opinions.
🌹Bullying or being bullied (common among young children) can damage a child's self- esteem and cause unhappiness. Be objective and counsel your child to handle such situations in an appropriate manner.
🌹Have an easy, open relationship with your child's friends-invite them over and chat with them occasionally.
🌹Discourage comparisons and competitiveness amongst friends-your child should not be forced to behave in a certain way to gain
popularity. Tell her how important it is to have her own thoughts and personality.
