The Answer Sheet - Teach Your Child to Be Their Own Advocate:
"There are many things that experts tell parents they ought to do for their child at the start of the school year:
*Help kids create a schedule to do homework and outside activities.
*Create a quiet work space for them to do homework.
*Make sure they get enough sleep each night.
*Insist they eat a healthy breakfast—even if they don’t want to-- because they won’t do their best work without it.
But one stands out as having especially far-reaching consequences: Teach your child how to advocate for themselves--starting with their teachers.
This may sound painfully obvious (the right thing to do often is but we still don’t do it)."
