Helping Latino Parents Ensure That Their Children Achieve Success in School

Help Your Children Succeed in School and Help Your Children Succeed in High School and Go to College teach the skills Latino children need to excel in school and make the most out of their education. Available in both English and Spanish, these books instruct parents on how they can work with their children and the school system to guarantee that their children are successful.

In both books, author Mariela Dabbah explains the U.S. educational system, pointing out key differences between schools in the United States and Latin American countries. The books cover standardized tests, extracurricular activities, academic requirements, grades, and attendance, and they also give tips on how parents can talk to their children’s teachers and principal to address specific problems their children are having.

Help Your Children Succeed in School includes strategies for how parents can help their children develop social and academic skills, how they can help their children with homework, and how they can become involved in their children’s schools, such as by volunteering and attending parent-teacher conferences.

Help Your Children Succeed in High School and Go to College stresses the importance of attending college and reveals how parents can put their children on a college-bound path. It explains the requirements for being admitted to a university and provides advice on how parents can help their children increase their chances of being accepted. The book also discusses options for paying for college, including scholarships and loans.

Both books provide answers to parents’ concerns about the U.S. school system and encourage parents to overcome their fears and insecurities about becoming involved in their children’s education. With these two books, Latino parents can take control over their children’s schooling and ensure that their children have successful and rewarding educational experiences.
