These simple and practical ideas will help you and your family enjoy a successful year.

  • Be involved in your child’s life. Ask them about their day and their friends. Spend time with them.

  • Scale back TV and video game time.

  • Establish bedtimes for school nights.

  • Establish a family reading time.

  • Keep a large calendar. Mark each family member’s activities on it.
