8. SURVIVAL TIPS FOR PARENTS:
Make sure your child eats and sleeps enough
Listen more than you lecture
Don’t sweat ALL the small stuff
Be their parent, not their friend
Offer your advice and help but don’t do your child’s work
PAY ATTENTION TO DEADLINES!
Trust but verify
Provide a quiet place to study and get work done
Spend as much time as you can with your child; this year will fly by!
TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM!

9. Teachers are your best sources for information about your child
Teachers are your best sources for information about your child. It’s always best to contact them first with any questions
