Ready to go - Book lists, uniform, school fees, school bag,lunch box all bought and ready for the school 2025. Is your child really ready for the new school year?
Here are my top tips for a successful school year.
1. Identify the previous year’s successes and celebrate them. Highlight the things that didn’t go too well and figure out ways to face similar challenges that might be faced this year.
2. Be organised - timetable,routine at home, request a course outline and plan around assessments.
3. Space learning - chunk learning.
4. Without being an overbearing helicopter parent keep your finger on the pulse.
5. Have high expectations. You child will meet them.
6. Set boundaries - no phones during study time.
7. Teach your child that it’s ok to ask for help and that teachers get paid to teach.
8. Provide your child with the tools, techniques and skills to learn.
9.An A or a D does not reflect how much or how little a child knows.
10. Patience and time are needed for learning.
Wish you all the very best for the school year 2025!!!,
