Before your child is born, plan for their prosperity.

Parents have the choice of their child's lifetime of poverty or prosperity. What is the magic connection of being poor or respective economic stability and better financial circumstances?

SIMPLE  -  Education and Skills
Planning for your child's lifetime of prosperity boils down to active participation in their education and building useful skills. It is important that you are prepared, no matter where you are on the ladder of education, to foster, enhance and actively promote your child's education from day one. Being a parent is more than changing diapers, potty training and sending a child off to school. Engage in every step of the educational experience, guide and encourage your child.

Demand educational opportunities and access to building useful skills for your child.  Participate with your child's teachers, make sure you take the time and make the effort to be there and set aside for hands on educational experiences with your child.  NOT ONE PARENT-But BOTH!

Technological advancement does displace workers, outside economic conditions does effect unemployment, however education and skill sets will provide a combination of abilities and pave the path toward innovating and reshaping their prospects in a changing world job market.

Creative people will find ways to move forward faster even in a world of global economic challenges.  You must provide the solid base for your child to move forward with encouragement of gaining the educational and skills for a modern society.

Your task is not done, an informed and educated citizen on matters of education is a must.  Attending parent - teacher conferences showing an interest in your child's education is an important role of every parent.  It may hurt taking your time to attend parent teacher groups, but knowing and exchanging with other parents and teachers demonstrates commitment to your child.

Another important step are the school board meetings, just being a member of the audience, watching and listening keeps these public officials on notice.

Do your duty, VOTE.  A little effort on a parent's part to vote on school proposals, ballot measures and candidates prone to support educational opportunities for children is a must.  Support those who are willing to move forward and are progressive in their actions toward public education on all levels.
