You hear so much in the news about public school systems failing to prepare students for the next level but you don’t hear very much about parents’ role in preparing their children for school .

Parents, you have the power to teach your child so he/she will be prepared to learn in school and how to deal with life issues. You are better equipped than teachers to give your child the skills to learn and retain information during the early years of his/her life.  You must prepare them before they start to school which help the teachrs to perform their job better.

You must work hard to provide your child with the tools needed to be successful. Why is it important? The list above gives you an idea of the things they will face in school as well in life. Your investment will make a major difference in your child’s life. Get involved with their school and get to know their teachers. Teach your child the basic skills he/she needs such as reading, oral and written communication.
