Promote Math and Science

Research suggests that children's attitudes toward math and science tend to be set in elementary school, and their parents' attitudes play a part in this. To ensure that your child stays interested in math and science:

• Play games that involve math and science skills.
• Express confidence that your child can master these subjects. Say that "Smart is something you get, not something you just are."
• Point to diverse role models. Math and science are for everyone, not just one kind of person.
