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;

@ turn in work on time.
