The IM gives parents a better idea of what kids are learning at different ages and what issues to
expect. Parents will identify the things they can control and don’t control when it comes to their
child’s education. Parents will record their children’s current status at school, and identify any
learning and behavior issues they feel need to be addressed with their child. A personal parenting
rule and action to take will also be developed related to their child’s education.
