You may have heard of the importance of parent involvement in schools and their child’s education. But do you know any practical ways to get there?
Keep reading for two ways you can foster a supportive family environment for your child, through parental involvement in education.
Accept Invitations to School
It can sometimes feel like you’re overrun with parental obligations, but it is important to attend your child’s school whenever possible. Getting first-hand experience of what’s going on at their school through parent involvement in schools will give you an insight into how you can support them.
Show Interest in School Work
We have all been young, and there is nothing quite as boring as doing homework and studying. But showing interest in the early days of your child’s school will demonstrate to them that their education is valuable and that there is something worth working for. So ask them what they are learning (or check for yourself) and help them with their new school topics from home.
Support for your child goes beyond dropping them off at the gates and packing a lunch; it demands a real interest and practical guidance.
