As the Mom of two daughters - one in Middle School and one in High School - I have received some great advice over the years. Here are a few tips I learned as a new parent from Susan Jindrich that can help Moms of children at any age.
Ways to Help Your Child
1. Read to them every day.
2. Give them plenty of love and encouragement.
3. Set some simple rules and stick to them.
4. Talk to your child and explain things to them. You are your child's first and most important teacher.
5. Listen to your child; they are willing and able to have very interesting conversations.
6. Be patient. Everyone has their difficult days.
7. Teach them respect for others.
8. Be proud of your child and show it. This builds their self-esteem.
9. Be a good role model for your child.
10. Give them a few simple chores to do around the house; it teachers responsibility to the family.
11. Volunteer in the classroom. Go see what they are learning.
12. Always, always, love your children and let them know it.
