Article: Make sure your child isn’t just memorizing information. Instead, work with them to make them think deeply about their assignments, as this will allow them to really understand what they’re learning.  You can ask questions like: “Why do you think your teacher would assign this type of project? What do you think you’ll learn from it?” When your child gets a correct answer, ask them to explain how they came up with it. At the beginning of the school year, sit with your child and write down three to five goals related to their schoolwork and study habits. Halfway through and again at the end of the year, look at your list and check your progress.  Your child’s goals can be related to their study habits, or to doing well on a particular assignment. These goals can be things like: “Learn to take more effective notes,” “Improve my grades in Earth Science” or “Read a chapter book on my own.” Talk to your child to find out if they have a friend they’d enjoy studying with, or check with your child’s teacher or a librarian at the local library to find a study buddy for your child. You and the friend’s parents can take turns hosting a weekly study session for your kids.  Encourage your child and their friend to help each other out with each of their strongest subjects. One might be “in charge” of math, and the other of reading. Having a study buddy is a great way to get your child in the habit of quizzing themselves or other people to commit information to their memory. Make sure the sessions don’t turn into social hours by checking in frequently. You can do so sneakily by bringing over snacks or having the study sessions in a common area of your home. Make sure your child stays positive about their schoolwork. Even if they’re struggling with a class, remind them that all they can do is try their best, and that you’re here to help. Even if your child is panicking because they’ve totally forgotten they need to make a volcano display by 6am the next morning, don’t add to the crisis by getting angry. You should both take deep breaths and tackle the situation calmly. While you want your child to strive for the best grades they can get, you also don’t want to make them anxious or achievement-obsessed. Tell your child that you want them to try their best, and that the grades are secondary. This will help them learn to study for the knowledge rather than the A.

Help your child ask questions and think critically. Make specific study goals. Set your child up with a study buddy. Avoid letting your child panic over school. Focus on your child’s efforts instead of grades.

While you won't include all the same information, an essay in a book is similar. Use the author's name, the date, and the essay title, then add the name of the book. You'll use "In" with the editors names before the title, followed by a comma and the title. Then you'll add the location and publisher.  So an essay entry would look like this: Braxton, N. K. (2011). Finding the right playing field. In J. L. Washington and M. P. Hicks (Eds.), AstroTurf versus real grass: The dilemma (55-74). Miami, OK: Small Town Press.  You need the "Eds." in parentheses to tell the viewer that those are the editors. The numbers in the parentheses after the title (in italics) are the page numbers of the essay in the book. Treat it like a book, mostly, but add "Unpublished doctoral dissertation" after the title in parentheses if it's unpublished. Then put the name of the institution, a comma, and the location.  So a basic entry would look like this: Harbor, L. R. (2010). Astroturf and the playing field (Unpublished doctoral dissertation). University of Oregon, Eugene, OR.  If it's published, use "Doctoral dissertation," a period, then "Retrieved from" and the database. You'll also need the accession or order number in parentheses, like this: Price, H. F. (2012). Why AstroTurf should be outlawed (Doctoral dissertation). Retrieved from Sports Central Database. (244412321) Some pamphlets and informative documents are authored by organizations or corporations. Instead of an individual, use the organization's name in place of the author's name. If it has an individual author, put it at the end, after the location.  Your citation might look like this: The Society for the Best Playing Fields. (2009).Data on injuries across different types of fields. Eugene, OR: G. H. Roberts.  Do the same for a government document, but add any publication numbers after the title in parentheses, and use the publisher at the end: National Institute of Sports. (2001). Study of various types of turf for playing fields (DHHS Publication No. ADM 553234-131). Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. If you're using a report or document from online, put the author and date of publication first. Then, use the title of the document in italics. Finally, add "Retrieved from" and a URL for the webpage. For instance, you might write: Vicks, H. R. & Jackson, G. H. (2014). The advantages of AstroTurf. Retrieved from http://www.astroturfinformationfoundation.com/advantages_of_astroturf/Vicks_Jackson When making an in-text citation, you can use the author's name in the sentence; in that case, the citation can go directly after the name in parentheses without the author's last name in it. Otherwise, the citation goes in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Include the author's last name, a comma, the publication date, a comma, and the page number. Use the page number with a direct quote; if you're not making a direct quote, it's nice to have, but not necessary.  If the author's name is in the sentence, use this form: As noted by Ford (2015, p. 124), AstroTurf isn't a good alternative to grass.  At the end of the sentence, the citation will look this way: AstroTurf is not a viable substitute for real grass (Ford, 2015, p. 124).  If you need to add multiple authors, list all of them: As noted by Ford, Macintosh, & Rose (2015, p. 88), AstroTurf can be damaging to players.  After the first citation with multiple authors, put in "et al." instead: As noted by Ford et al. (2015, p. 75), AstroTurf is detrimental.
