Urge your child to listen and emphasize that learning to take directions pays off.
Stress organization and tidiness.

Urge your child not to waste time and energy denying or rationalizing mistakes.
To be successful in school, students must be able to work with others.
Remind your child to treat others as they would like to be treated.
Encourage your child to 'think', expect your child to 'think'.
