Do you have a child in school? Are you often trying to remember certain things right before your child goes to bed at night – just so you’re not scrambling to remember everything in the morning?
Well, if you’re like most parents, you have so may things to do each evening, and so little time to get things done in preparation for the next day.
Parent Checklist
Therefore, a very special friend came up with this perfect solution for every parent with school age-age kids: Ten important questions every parent should ask when their child gets home from school.
It can easily be a topic of discussion over the dinner table:
- What did you learn in school today?
- Do you have any homework?
- Do you have an up-coming test/quiz (requiring extra study time)?
- Do you have an up-coming school project that might require extra homework time in the near future?
- Do you need anything signed by me – to be returned to the school the next day?
- If you had any notes for the teacher, etc. did you make sure you turned them in today?
- Do you need lunch money?
- Do you need any school supplies of any kind?
- How was school/are there any problems we need to be aware of?
- Any other question that is pertinent to your own family’s situation…
If you follow these easy steps, you’ll be sure to have a smoother transition the next morning.
As busy parents we can all use a little help – a little help and a little extra time can go a long way in the morning! 
Happy parenting!

Communication with our kids is a MUST!!! They need to know you are interested. You need to make time for them. This isn’t a nagging thing, its a loving thing. The more the know you love them and are interested in them, the more success they (YOU) will have.

Michelle,
Good questions. I’m glad to see they are the ones I ask. The major one – Do you need anything signed by me?
Sometimes I forget to ask this one and my son will wait until we’re walking out the door and ask me to sign something.

YOUR LIST IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY CHICA!
“COMMUNICATION” AND “CONSISTENCY” ARE SOME TOOLS TO A PARENTS RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CHILD. BY HAVING DAILY CONVO. ABOUT “THEIR WORLD/SCHEDULES” IT MAKES THEM FEEL IMPORTANT, LOVED AND KEEPS THEM ON THE RIGHT TRACK. MAKES ALLOT OF DIFFERENCE IN A CHILD’S LIFE!
Great advice Michelle
