Talk with your child about what you expect

Expectations matter. When you make it clear that you expect your child to work hard in school, your child is more likely to do well. If you don't expect effort, your child may decide not to try. And if you make your elementary schooler feel like a poor student, that is what your child is likely to be. Expecting your child’s best effort, however, doesn’t mean expecting perfection. Even the best students make mistakes, and your child needs to know that is OK, and it's another way to learn.
