Tips of the month from 40 Assets
Create an organized, orderly family routine with ground rules that everyone knows and follows.
Tip – Asset #6– Parent Involvement in Schooling
Enjoy a more harmonious family environment.
Think of school as something you and your child do together. Get to know your child’s teachers; stay in touch, and visit the classroom when you can. Ask what you can do to help in the classroom and outside of it. Ask questions every day about your child’s day in school—about both the “events” and how your child feels about it. When you show school is important to you, it will be important to your child.
Put some new tools in your tool box. WEDNESDAYS, Feb. 17th – Apr 6th Deer Creek School, Nevada City 6:00-8:00pm

Tip – Asset #33— Interpersonal Competence We are all different in how we look and think, what we do well or poorly, and what we are passionate about. But we all want to be treated kindly and fairly by others. Kids learn how to respect differences in other people by hearing and seeing respectful behavior in adults and older youth. Make sure to appreciate the skills and positive values your child has, especially the ones that are different than yours.
