Constant feedback for your child and frequent communication between you and her teacher are necessary components in keeping your child on track, and can make an enormous difference in how quickly positive results are seen.
Other than having a relationship with your child's teacher that allows for open and honest communication, it's also important to talk to your child about his/her school day.
Fostering a positive attitude about learning and going to school is crucial; this can help encourage your child to do well in school and want to learn new things.
