To excel in school, a child has to know that it is important to you, his or her parent, to do well in school. Also as a parent, it is important to show that child that school is important enough that you make sure that your child gets to school on time daily and that you review his or her work on a daily or weekly basis to show that you are interested in the child's progress. Go to PTA meetings and the school events in which your child is a participant. Read to your child on a daily basis. Take courses yourself at an adult school or College to show your child that schooling is important and knowledge is something to seek not only for the child but for everyone. Get to know your child's teachers and work with your child to help him get over any problems that may arise with his studies or friends in school. Lastly, Praise your child for his accomplishments and do not be too critical of his failings.

I believe you mean to excel in school.Praise your child when (s)he does well, encourage them when they try their best but still don't understand an idea.Allow them to explore their world,assist them when they need help and give direction.Supply a quiet area for doing homework, and a time set aside for homework .Let your child try to do the work first and only help with the work don't do the work.Meet the teacher and stay involved and accessable to teacher input.Work together.

Make sure your child does his homework every night. If he has trouble with this, provide him with a calendar or a planner and check it every night. You might have teachers sign it every day after he writes down his assignments. Help him with his assignments, but don't supply answers. Supervise study time to make sure he's using it well. Stay involved! Make sure he stays organized and maintains neat, organized folders. Have him clean out his backpack every night, if necessary. Provide incentives for good grades and good behavior. Contact teachers at the beginning of the year and regularly throughout the year to keep an eye on his grades and provide for an open dialogue between you and his teachers.

Sit down with your child and help do homework, read to your child even if you have to put something else off to a later time.

You need to be active in PTA, volunteer as a room mother, as a classroom aid, at anything and everything that parents can do for school.
When you do that, the kid figures out that his school is important to you. When you do that, the teachers figure out that his school is important to you. So, the kid takes an active interest in school because he sees that if it is important to you and you are involved with him and his school and his teachers and the principal and even the cooks and the janitor, that you and school and he are on the same team.
There are advantages to doing that. One of my neighbors got her GED because there was a night school in her son's school and she was involved basically because she had no other interests to take up her time. Because she was so active in his grade school, he excelled academically and by the time he got to high school, she was such a school activist she got a scholarship to nursing school and went to college.
When they talk about investing in education, they don't mean throwing money at it. They mean personal involvement.
I have seen welfare mothers, who hated school as children, really blossom and get it together when it came to involvement in their kid's school. It would amaze you.
I have also noticed that a parents involvement in school helps the kids when it comes to social issues. The parents who are involved in their kids sports, academic or social activities have kids who are more popular with their peers.
I don't personally like the jock stuff about schools, and my kids don't either. But they ended up being really community involved because they saw their mom going to school with them every morning and helping Mr. Matthews grade science tests, helping Mr. Atwater clean out the trash cans in the girls lav while I was waiting for the kid to get out of Math Club.
If you start when they are really little, they are accountable and they know you are involved even when they get to college.

You can talk to her about school every day and help with her homework, go to school events, let her know how important learning and good grades are and reward her in some way for good grades on her report card.

Do you mean excel? If so, be sure to impress on your child the value of a good education.

READ to your child. Every day. Something that INTERESTS your child. Once a week, ask them to pick and read something back to you. Teach them about different cultures, foods, music, art, languages, and experiences.

Try leading by example - spelling "excel" right, for instance.
Encourage your child to read and learn.
Spend time with them on their homework to show you think it is important.
