Making time for your child is an important part of being a parent. By setting aside time to do kids' stuff together, and just generally getting involved in your child's life, she will realise that you really care about her as an individual.
There are many ways you can help your children by getting involved, but communicating is one of the easiest and most important.
Communicating with your child Communication means not only talking to your child but also listening to what she has to say. Your child needs to feel important to you.
It's vital for your child to have a sense that you respect her views. If so, she will be far more likely to talk to you about any problems she may be having at school or with friends.
It's also important to ask your child questions and express an interest in her activities. Keep up to date with your child's interests and chosen friends. If you can, ensure that when you organise activities you include your child's friends as well.
Talking about school
Try to find out what your child likes and dislikes about schoolwork, too. Find out what subjects she likes and which cause problems. Try to think about whether there are any ways in which you might be able to help.
Make an effort to understand what subjects and topics your child is studying at school, as this is an important way of getting involved. You will be in a better position to understand any feedback you get from the school regarding your child's performance too.
