1. It is important for you to stay involved in your child's life. This could mean supporting them at a basketball game, picking them up from school, or just helping with homework. Staying involved is a key component to keeping a positive relationship with your child.
2. When your child expresses that he/she does not want you around or treats you poorly in front of their peers, just know they are trying to appeal to others, even if it means putting you down. Communication is key when it comes to this issue. It is importnat to find a way to relate to them on the subject of peers.
3. Middle school age students are at a point in their life where many changes are occuring. This causes a rollercoaster of emotions and sometimes outbursts or breakdowns. It is necessary for parents to realize what is going on and just listen to your child when they need someone to confide in. Being on their side will keep you close and maintain a relatively positive relationship.
4. As a parent, it is important to stress getting involved when it comes to your child. Allow them the opportunity to get involved in clubs, activities, or sports. This is a way to keep them around positive, hard-working peers, as well as keep them busy (ultimately keeping them out of trouble).
5. Keep in contact with your child's teacher! This will 1.) show that you care about your child's grades. 2.)keep them on track if they know you are watching. 3.) allows for the teacher to help in many other ways.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU ARE INVOLVED IN YOUR CHILD'S LIFE!
