Let your child know that you expect great things
Children care how their families view them. Your expectations for your child can motivate your elementary schooler to work hard and succeed in school. Make a list of high, but still realistic, expectations for your child, such as putting effort into schoolwork, continuing to try when something is challenging, etc. Discuss them together, then uphold them consistently. Help your child take pride in progress and believe "I am a student who can succeed."
