When you connect with your child every day, your child benefits for life. When he or she knows you care and are concerned about education, the following occurs:

• Achievement in school improves; students earn higher grades and test scores and enroll in higher-level programs.
• Children want to go to school.
• Courses are passed, credits earned and students are promoted to the next grade.
• Self-confidence improves.
• Children have better social skills and behavior at home and at school.
• Students graduate from high school and go on to postsecondary education.
