TIPS FOR PARENTSIt is sure that a child learns his first lesson at home.

Hence, it becomes moral duty of the parents to

provide healthy atmosphere at home.

It is required that the parents support their child in

his development by encouraging him to participate in

various activities, completing his/her work regularly.

The parents should / must attend the various

programmes conducted by the school. This motivates

a child. Apart from motivation, it is a good mode to

recreate where a child is learning by doing.

A good parent will always make sure that his / her

child is not adopting wrong ways and means to get

their conditions fulfilled.

Parents should keep in touch with the teachers in

regard with the progress of the child.

Check the School Diary daily for positive and

negative feedback.

Guide the child through the projects and

assignments given to him. Dont provide external

help.
