Top 5 Hints How Parents Can Improve a Child’s School Attendance and Punctuality
- Make sure your child stays healthy by eating nutritious food and getting enough exercise.
- Establish a regular bedtime to ensure that your child gets a good night’s sleep, awakes rested the next morning and has enough time to prepare for school.
- Don’t make excuses for why your child “must” miss or be late for school.
- Show your child why education is important. Give specific examples of how education helps people succeed.
- Lead by example. If children see parents taking time off work for no real reason, and coming late for scheduled appointments, they may expect to be able to do the same thing.
Research shows that attendance is the single most important factor in school success.
In the end our children will be best served when they, attend school regularly, arrive to school on time and are ready and prepared to learn.
