If you want your child to succeed in school, start at home with a solid foundation built on healthy habits.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:

• Prepare your child with an established, early bedtime and a healthy breakfast.
• Limit screen time and promote exercise.
• Create a strict daily routine to help children learn what to expect.
• Create an area in your home where all items needed for school — from backpacks to shoes to papers — are stored.
• Create a designated work space where your child can do homework, complete with needed supplies and no distractions.
• Read to your child every day.
• Set a good example by modeling a good work ethic and healthy habits.
• Listen to your child. Talk openly about life at school.
