HAVE A FAMILY MEETING 2 WEEKS BEFORE SCHOLL STARTS- KEEP EXPECTATIONS HIGH: Having a family meeting at least two weeks before school starts gets everyone excited. A family meeting sets expectations and kids have a better sense of their goals and the family's support they can rely on. The family meeting should consist of a show of unwavering support.

FORGET ABOUT LAST YEAR-SHARE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEW YEAR:

Forget about what happend=ed last year. The clock has been reset and kids should know this and feel this and depend on it. Starting a clean slate positions expectations to be realistic. And, whern you say to kids we believe in you and support you and you';re there for them, they'll believe it.
