About the Book

Concerns abound about how best to raise, not just academically successful children, but also how to raise them so that they grow into independent, likeable, and productive adults. While no one book can address all parenting issues, Other-Wise and School-Wise responds effectively to most of them, offering expert advice, activities, and lessons to help parents and their children both at home and at school. Josel covers: Memory-making activities, such as genealogical research, Making wise mealtime decisions, Instilling good manners, Motivation and goal setting, How to help children organize and use time to their best advantage. This guidebook confronts issues including: Success, Failure, Self-esteem, Textbook note-taking, Studying for and performing well on tests, Cheating and plagiarism.The author encourages parents to become more actively involved in school life by keeping abreast of policies, taking advantage of services, and volunteering time and talents. The improvement of reading, vocabulary, spelling, and writing skills are examined as well as homework issues, matters of the brain, and how to enhance students' ability to recall the countless facts and details of their coursework. An appendix is provided with such extras as graphic organizers, comma and spelling rules, and a personal dictionary.
