·         The most important thing to remember is you are doing an amazing job. Everything is new and different for your child/ren and for you too. Please be kind to yourself.

·         Make it fun and enjoyable. If your child is really grumpy doing some writing or counting leave it and do something else. Reading a story together, watching some TV, playing in the garden, cooking and resting are just as important as ‘learning’ activities.

·         If your child was at school the expectation for focused learning would be short, sharp bursts. We would only ever spend 15 minutes’ maximum on our phonics or Maths.
