The 4 "R's" Day III

The third “R” for a winnign school year is responsibility. Winning coaches tell the players the plan, teach the players the plan and then they hold the players responsible to follow through with the plan. Every student experiences some big challenges throughout the school year ... things such as science projects and book reports should not be last minute disasters that cause both the student and the parents to scramble to accomplish. Coaches can’t run out on the field to help a player do something he isn’t prepared to do. Parents need to anticipate the book reports, know when they’re due, put them on the calendar and then help the child work out a weekly reading schedule to get it done. Hold your child responsible to sit down for those predetermined thirty minutes, two evenings a week, to get the book read. Teaching responsibility will assist in preparing your child for college.
