HELPING YOUR CHILD IN HIS/HER LEARNING
• Ensure that your child completes his homework daily.
• Encourage you child to attempt all questions in daily
assignments even if he has absolutely no idea how to do
it.
• Be cool. Avoid jumping to his rescue when he cannot
solve a problem. Guide him through by getting him to
verbalise and analyse his thoughts on how he can
approach the question.
• Review mistakes made. Cover solution and re-attempt
the question.
