A Parent's Guide to School Projects

For parents trying to make sense of the demanding and increasingly complex requirements of their children’s school projects, this guide offers advice on how to stock at-home craft cupboards and answers questions on how best to help children complete projects successfully—without parents having to compete the project for them. By explaining the new educational theories being adopted across the country, this resourceful tool helps parents understand the basis for new assignments and become experts at helping their children be prepared, think ahead, and add that something extra to any assignment—whether it’s the first grade or the twelfth.
