Chalk Talk: Parental Science Fair Survival Tips
Parents can become as stressed by a child’s science fair project as the child. There are ways to help both child and parent survive. First, parents need to remember that the overall project is the child’s. With this in mind, parents can help a child set up a schedule for different stages of the projects. Set them up with a calendar with important dates and goals placed in the correct place. Parents need to also remember and remind the child that there is no perfect project. Scientists have come across some of the most amazing discoveries when on the way to another. Finally, to help ease the child’s nerves, allow them to practice presenting their project to family members. Then be ready to ask questions, like a judge would, to help the child be better prepared on the day of the fair.
