Helpful Hints for Parents.

Be a cheerleader to your children. A parent teaches values by example.

Make your home the center of your children's activities.

Children need standards set by both the father and mother.

Respect for the family is essential. At the daily send-off, let them know they are representing the family at their school.

Inflexible activities, such as the children's bedtime, give the children order and security. They also help parents retain authority.

Engender love for education by reading to your children and helping them through their homework. This promotes education and helps parents and children to bond.

Parents should stick to their word.

Emphasize completion of a project. It builds confidence and security.

Teach gratitude for special privileges and gifts. When your children rceive services or goods from others, encourage them to be thankful.

Parents should be punctual. This teaches reliability as well as respect for others. A penalty can be given if children begin to develop a habit of lateness.
