USEFUL RESOURCE PARENT-CHILD ACTIVITY BOOK


What can I do to prepare my child ?● Partner our teachers to encourage your child’s natural sense of curiosity to

learn and support them in understanding their feelings and experiences.

● Resist temptation to push your child to learn above what he/she is not readyfor.

● Nurture your child’s learning dispositions.

● Allow your child to learn from experiences . Being praised for good behaviourand facing consequences for undesirable behaviour is part of nurturing yourchild to be independent and self-directed.


Some parents may face some challenges…● Anxiety from being over protective.

● Over emphasis on grades and marks.

● Concern over supposed ‘dip’ in child’s performance as compared to nursery / kindergarten years.

● Concern over child not selected for certain activities, roles etc.

● Focussing on ‘immediacy’.

SUPPORTINGYOURCHILD

DO’s DON’T’S

Make it a point to find out how

your child’s school day was

Negotiate with your child and

agree on acceptable standards

and be consistent with the

consequences

Invest time and effort to develop

interest in reading

Work out a schedule and routine

that has balance of self-

management, study, play and

quality time with your family

Watch TV or engage in some fun

activity while you insist your child

does his school work / study.

Guide / Supervise /Support your

child with study / school work

where possible

Let your child be the ‘parent’ and

decide on matters such as

coming to school, sleeping time,

TV time etc.

Focus mostly on routines

involving homework, tuition and

study

Focus on reading for

comprehension only

Zoom in just on homework and

assessment matters


“Train a child in the way he

should go, and when he is

old he will not turn from it.”

“Every child can be engaged,

every child can contribute.”
