Tips for becoming your child’s best advocate

The Rhode Show:

If you notice your child may have some learning obstacles in school, but you are not sure where to begin or what will be best the support you can give your child, there are numerous options.

Tracy from The Children’s Workshop give us some tips and tricks to help you sort through this process.

Ask Questions:

If your child is old enough to answer questions, you may want to begin by asking any of the following: “What do you like/not like about school,” or “Tell me one thing you look forward to everyday when you go to school?” You will be surprised how much your child will begin to open up and start telling you that you were not aware of based on closed ended questions.

Studies have shown that children have higher self-esteem and do better in school when they have constructive, quality conversations with their parents.
