Parents Play A Critical Role In Preparing Their Children For College
Too many High School parents think that their only role is to push their children to get good grades, so they will be accepted by a better college. However, in reality, parents of the most successful college students usually play a much broader role. Parents can assist in the following ways:
1) Help Your Children Experience The World : Give your children opportunities to visit other cities,historic sites, national parks, etc and anything else you can think of that will broaden their perspective.
2) Teach And Demonstrate Desirable Behaviors : Help your children learn about right and wrong,honesty, respect, public behavior,table manners,teamwork and cooperation. Since children learn by example, parental behavior is critical.
3) Help Children Develop Strong Communication Skills : Provide your children with many opportunities to build their reading, writing, speaking and presentation skills.
4) Teach Children To Accept Responsibility : Students who do not accept responsibility for their words, actions, behavior and performance are not ready for college. It is the parent's role to teach their children to become responsible citizens.
5)Encourage Children To Get Involved : School activities, part-time and summer jobs and community involvement will give students a more realistic view of the competitive world. Participation gives students the opportunity to learn about themselves and about others.
