Helping Kids Succeed in School: Common Sense Parenting Dvd

Many children at times have problems related to school from getting homework done, to following school rules, or getting along with classmates. For some, problems are the result of academic deficits, such as reading or comprehension skills. But for other children, it is their disruptive behavior or lack of appropriate social skills that leads to trouble at school. This Common Sense Parenting DVD shows what parents can do at home and in partnership with the school to help improve children's academic performance and school behavior. To address academic performance, you can encourage your child to read, be positive about school activities, establish a time, place, and rules conducive to studying and doing homework, and ask the school for extra tutoring help if needed. The DVD also gives you tips on what you can do to help children improve their behavior, follow the school's code of conduct, and meet teachers expectations.
