How To Get The Best Education Possible: Tip #18

There is one very important person at your child’s school you need to get to know and have a positive working relationship with these person. This brings us to tip #18.

Tip #18: Get to know your child’s teacher.

Make sure you introduce yourself and have a positive working relationship with your child’s teacher. Ask for a short meeting and talk to the teacher to find out the expectations for the school year, and this is a time you can use to explain any health concerns or other important information that will help the teacher work with your child throughout the year. The teacher will spend many of the waking hours with your child during the week and you want him/her to know you are concerned and will be checking up on your child’s progress and behavior.

How To Get The Best Education Possible: Tip #17

Many times there are situations that are unexpected while your child is at school.  There should always be an emergency plan or a plan B in place that your child understands and the school is aware of.  That brings us to tip #17.

Tip #17:  Have an emergency plan in place.

There are all kinds of unexpected situations that a parent needs to anticipate and have plan in place in case something happens.  If you are a working parent and your child gets sick, make sure your employer knows you may have to take sick leave or leave the job to pick child up from school.  Or you could have a support person who could pick up your child and take care of him/her until you are finished with work.  Just make sure the school has every person you want to take your child from the school on the list of people who have permission to remove your child.

If there is a weather day, or school is being dismissed early for whatever reason, have another parent in the classroom or have a support person in place so your child is not left at school in at these times.  You can have a carpool or take turns walking each other's children from school in emergencies, but make sure everyone concern knows exactly what to do and where to go.  The school year will go much smoother if you work these things out in advance.  Just try to think of every situation possible and find a plan B if you are unable to be at school at those times.

How To Get The Best Education Possible: Tip #16

Families have changed drastically.  There was a time that grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and cousins could depend on each other for support of raising a child.  With jobs moving families away from that circle of support, and single parents are trying to do the job that ten to twenty people use to do, this brings us to tip #16.

Tip #16: Build a support group.

It is not easy to build a support that you feel you can trust with helping you with your child.  One thing I can tell you is that everyone needs some help. The statement, "It takes a village to raise a child", is really true.  You are very fortunate if you have a close family connection.  If you don't make sure you know the people you ask to help you.  It can be as simple as asking for advice about disciple or you need someone else to talk to the child about a situation. Many times you may need someone to watch or pick the your child up from a game, or go with you to a school conference.  It definitely must be someone you know and trust, and even after all of that be careful.  Always talk to your child and make sure they are comfortable with everyone in your support group. This support group should have the same moral principle you have and are willing to be a part of your child's life. Your support group could look like the following:

1. Family members

2. Close friends

3. Church members

4. Senior citizens willing to be adopted grandparents

5. A parent at your child's school

6. Big Brothers/Big Sisters

7. Neighbors

Just always keep an eye out for those you feel will be a good example and role model for your child. Even families with two parents need a little help every now and then.   Hopefully, you will build a support group that will help you and your child through this maze called "parenthood".
