RESPECT

Growing up, my parents taught me that being respectful and having respect for others was very important. Respecting adults, teachers, family and most of all having respect for ourselves seem to have diminished. I think the lack of respect is quite evident in schools today. Parents must be more accountable in teaching their children this simple concept. How do we help restore the respect factor in our schools?

One significant key to a child's success? An involved parent

Research tells us that being involved in your child’s life will help them be more successful. Children can perform well in school if their parents aren't involved. But they have a better shot at success if their parents are involved.
Some area parents are finding a variety of ways to be involved - from making sure their children have breakfast before school to helping with homework to helping the classroom. The result? Their children bloom.
Yet too many parents aren’t taking the time - when we know it works.
You can find more details in my story.
So what about you? What do you do with your children? Do you have any ideas about how parents can get more involved involved?
