Make School Meaningful to Your Child

Smart children need to actually understand the importance of school. It is not good enough to tell your child that school is something every child has to do. Smart kids are curious enough to ask why. Try to show your child why school work is meaningful if it is not immediately interesting to them. When you work with your child on projects, basic skills, or homework try to reinforce how the task is relevant to everyday life and to the future.
