How do I keep my child interested in school?

Stay involved. When the parent stays involved in their child's education, the student will stay involved in school. Asking questions is one simple way to do this. Try to ask questions that can't be answered with a simple yes, no, or fine. Questions like, "What was the best part of your day?" "What was the worst part of your day?" "What did your teacher say about your math homework?" or "How did soccer practice go?" encourage good conversations. In this way, kids see that their parents care about school and are there to support them.
