Wellness

Use a learning plan - By creating a learning plan, you can integrate your child’s home learning with your own schedule and ensure you are available to support them when needed.

Use to do lists - Clearly defined to do lists will help your child stay focussed and on task and will be allow them to see the progress they are making.

Be flexible - If your child is unable to complete a task without help, set aside a time when you are available to offer support and have your child work on something they can to do independently.

Avoid frustration - Take a break when your child has reached a critical point. Stop and have a snack, eat some lunch or do some exercise.

Praise - Praising our children will increase self-esteem and motivate them to apply themselves and take pride in their work.

Balance - It is important to balance academic work with play/free time and to maintain a routine including a consistent bed time.
