Is your child struggling in public school? Are you unsure how to help with homework, communicate with teachers, or navigate the complex educational system? Helping Your Child Succeed in Public School is the comprehensive guide every parent needs to support their child's academic journey from kindergarten through high school graduation. Written by veteran educator Spencer Westel, this book goes beyond generic advice to provide practical, proven strategies that work in real public school environments. You'll discover how to create a learning-friendly home environment, build essential study skills, work effectively with teachers and administrators, and advocate for your child when necessary. Inside, you'll learn how to establish productive homework routines without nightly battles, recognize and address learning disabilities early, navigate the challenging middle school transition, prepare strategically for high school and college, develop your child's executive function skills including organization and time management, manage technology and social media's impact on learning, support your child through social challenges and bullying, build a growth mindset that embraces challenges, and partner effectively with teachers while respecting professional boundaries. Unlike books that assume unlimited resources or ideal circumstances, this guide acknowledges the realities of public education: large class sizes, limited resources, diverse student needs, and stretched budgets. You'll learn how to work within these constraints while still ensuring your child receives an excellent education. Whether your child is a high achiever, struggling learner, or somewhere in between, this book provides actionable guidance tailored to your family's unique situation. Each chapter addresses specific challenges parents face at different stages, from helping your kindergartener adjust to school to supporting your high schooler through college applications. With minimal jargon and maximum practical advice, Spencer Westel draws on decades of educational experience to give you the tools, confidence, and knowledge to become your child's most effective advocate and supporter. This isn't about helicopter parenting or doing work for your children—it's about creating conditions for success and teaching skills that will serve them throughout life. Helping Your Child Succeed in Public School is essential reading for any parent who wants to actively support their child's education, understand how schools really work, and ensure their child reaches their full potential.
