Be There When It’s Important to Your Child

It’s nearly impossible to be present for every occasion in your child's life. What’s important is to be there when your child really wants you there.

Ask your child to tell you which events—at school and away from school—mean the most. Your elementary schooler may not care if you show up to see the “Perfect Attendance” award ceremony or if you help at the Valentine's Day party. But your child may long for you to hear a long-practiced 30-second solo in the spring concert. Attending that event will let your student know that you care about what happens at school—and that you care about what matters to your child.
