Simple strategies at home support school success There are lots of things parents can do at home to expand their children's learning. Here are a few ideas to start with: Play board games that involve numbers or reading. Play listening games such as Simon Says. Ask your child open-ended questions that get her thinking ("What if?"). Give your child a daily responsibility to carry out. And most important of all, read with your child every day. http://niswc.com/15kSC320271

The benefits of reading aloud don't stop as kids grow: Once your child can read to himself, should you still read with him? Research says yes. Give your child a boost: Keep reading. http://niswc.com/15kTC320271

Notice and praise what your child does right: The right kind of praise helps your child feel like a valuable person. Effective praise is specific and lets your child know exactly what he did well. Praise him for his effort and for progress he makes. http://niswc.com/15kRC320271

Take the frustration out of discipline Kids are great at pushing parents' buttons. But reacting with anger doesn't help. When you stay calm and under control, you deal from a position of strength. So, when your child's behavior is frustrating, take a deep breath and explain what you want her to do. Remind her of the consequences of not doing it. Then offer a choice: Your child can change her behavior or accept the consequences. http://niswc.com/15kJC320271
