Help your child achieve
If you have a child in school, you
know about report card day, that
fateful day of reckoning. Will your
ride and joy come bouncing home
ursting with happy news, or will it
be time once again to review the
sad Parade of Excuses? What can
a parent do to help the young one
succeed?
Consumer Education Research
Center has pbulished a book that
describes many new and innova
tive techniques that can help both
of you and your child be happier
and more satisfied on the day the
report card comes home. Based on
recently conducted research, HOW
TO HELP YOUR CHILDREN
ACHIEVE IN SCHOOL includes a
five-step plan for better school per
formance. For your copy send $3
(plus $1 p&h) to CERC-Education
Task Force, 350 Scotland Road,
Orange, N.J. 07050.
How well a child does in school
depends in a large part on the
child's study habits. There is no
substitute for hitting the books, and
no short-cuts to getting an educa
tion.
Yet many students do not believe
that the hours spent studying or
amount of work they do will make
the difference between success and
failure. It's far easier to blame fail
ure on unfair teachrs, or distract
ing classmates, or bad luck or
twenty other reasons, rather than
admit they just didn't do the work.
Many young people claim there
are not enough hours in the day to
do all the things they want to do
and study too. There may be some
truth in that, but most often there
is not a shortage of time, but a lack
of planning. To encourage better
use of time, have your school-agers
draw up a weekly schedule. By
writing down how they spend their
days, hour by hour, young people
may be surprised how much time
they are wasting. By organizing
their time, planning their study
hours and sticking to the schedule,
they may find they actually have
more time for "things". Encour
age your youngsters to be faithful
to the schedule, and make sure
they have reasonable quiet, well
lighted place to study, far from the
distractions of the radio, record
player and television.
You can also help by taking a da
ily interest in your children's
school work and reviewing home
work assignments with them. Ask
them to give a summary of a chap

ter they have just read, or to ex
plain how they solved a math prob
lem. By asking specific questions,
you can help them focus their
thinking and see where their weak
nesses are.
The book gives parents explicit
strategies to help their children
learn skills, attitudes and behav
iors that characterize successful
learners. It explains in detail:
-how positive self-talk, images
and questions related to the task at
hand can increase attention.
-how motivating children means
helping them change their percep
tion of themselves.
-the five strategies for learning
and remembering.
-an effective, organized study
and note-taking system.
-how to help students redirect
their attention away from fear of
failure and toward productive
ways to do well on tests.
