[quote=Anonymous]Help your child develop a love of learning in grade school. When your child hits middle school, help him or her begin to take the reins by speaking to their teachers instead of you doing it. Your kid has a question about an assignment? Your kid emails or asks the teacher, not you. In high school, you only meet the teachers once at open house. Otherwise, you lie low. HS is your kid's job. Your kid is in charge of managing it, and picking their own classes. You encourage behind the scenes, but it's up to your kid to take ownership of their own education. Self propel, so they are ready for college. In college, it's up to your kid but they have learned to manage independent of you, the parent, which is critical to following through, doing the work, and knowing who they are. [/quote]
