The Fathering Project

The official start of school is looming which can sometimes be a source of anxiety for parents and children. Our go-to tip for starting the term off on the right foot is partnering with your child's school in 2023. This is especially important when your child is younger, and it is good to start the habit of staying connected with the school. By developing a good relationship with the school and your child’s teachers, you send powerful positive messages to your child about the importance of attending school and learning.

​​​​​​Top Tips

1. Introduce yourself to the teacher at the beginning of this year.
2. Attend the class parent meeting at the beginning of the year to find out about the teacher’s goals, expectations, rules and limits.
3. Remember both you and the school want the best for your child, so you need to work together to find the best strategies and actions to support your child.​​​​​​​
