Be interested in your kid
Remain interested and involved in your child’s life. Make it a point to take an interest in his schoolwork as well as his activities during and after school. Know the names of his friends, his teachers and others who interact with him. Accompany your child in the important activities in his life. The basketball games, the meetings with teachers, the karate classes, you get it. Remember to maintain a positive attitude with your child, praise where praise is necessary, but also encourage better grades or even behaviour.
