reports “I did all my home-

@a Iaissea-faire artitude
toward school means the child
doesn’t sce the relevance of
study and school to life. The
parents must step in and show
that relevance;

W@ fear of school is a sign a
child is not prepared for class
or tests.

“Past performance is an
indicator of future perfor-
mance,” said Casprowitz. “If
any of the above behaviors
happened in the past year,
then raise the red flag.”

The five parenting prac-
tices in helping children be
successful are:

RAS — start carly;

@ T — talk with school offi-
cials;

@ U — understand the skills;
B D — discipline is key;

@ Y — you (the parents) are
the guide.

On the flip side, children
must take responsibility a
well. The foundation for sue,
cessful studying begins with
four. good study habits.
Ultimately, the child must
take responsibility for these
elements, bur parents must
begin the process by demand-
ing the child practice these
four habits:

B know the assignment;
bring: home the proper
materials;

cooperate with the parent
in doing the work;
