How to Help Your Kids Succeed in School 100 HELP WANTED (AGES 9 – 11) Older children are interested in life beyond school. You can help your child have a realistic sense of that life and what he can do to prepare for it. WHAT YOU NEED: pencil and paper, and newspaper or online help-wanted ads. WHAT TO DO: • Talk with your child about what he wants to be and do in the future. Ask, for example, “What job do you think you’d like to do when you get out of school? What kind of education or training do you think you’ll need to get this job?” • Suggest that your child pick two adults he or she knows and talk with them briefly about their jobs. Help him think of at least three questions to ask. Have him write the questions, leaving space for the answers. Here are some sample questions: What is your job? How long have you had it? Do you like it? Did you need to go to college to get your job? Did you need any special training? What kind of classes do I need to take in high school for a job like yours? • After the interview, talk with your child about what he learned. • Next, show your child the help-wanted ads. Have him find ads for three jobs that he might want to have in the future. Have him read aloud the requirements for a job and talk with him about the skills, education and training he would need to have to do the work. Help your child understand that many jobs require advanced education, and almost all jobs require good reading and math skills. Emphasize the importance of being well-educated. www.k5learning.com
