Finding the Right Balance 370A cover313A cover

Parents love their children and want to help them become responsible, independent and successful. But sometimes, in their desire to help, parents get a little too involved—and some don't get involved enough. This booklet uses a friendly interactive quiz to help parents determine where they are on the involvement spectrum. Then it helps them find the involvement balance that is right for their child's individual needs and promotes school-home teamwork. Helpful tips are included on what parents can do if they're too involved—or not involved enough. Finally, the booklet details specific ways parents can know when they have achieved the right involvement balance. Available in Elementary and Secondary versions!
