My child is still in elementary school, so I'm not familiar with any high school dropout prevention programs in our community yet. I am however involved in my daughter's school, and try to foster a love of learning (and school) in her. Now in second grade, she's already excited about someday going to college, and I will continue to support her academic learning so that she stays enthusiastic and successful in her studies.

Thanks for asking!

The main thing here is that as long as your child knows you're interested, he wants to make you proud. Ofcourse, its more complicated than that. But that is more or less the basic idea.
