INSTOPP - How to become my child's homework consultant

ABOUT

What is it that every parent wants from the HOMEWORK experience? INDEPENDENCE!

We are all thankful to have our children return to some form of normality, however, this also put us and our children back into a rat race that they are no longer used to. It is clear that lockdowns and the cut curriculum have affected our children. How can I as a parent effectively help my child to adjust while trying to fill in the blanks left by lockdowns? In addition, how do I address the reading and language delays my child may be facing?

During this session, we will explore how to assist our kids with skills such as goal setting and time management. We will delve into mediated learning, study and memory techniques, and independence training that will act as tools to parents who wants to ensure their efforts result in their kids’ independence with schoolwork.

Start the year with a clear goal and solid plan in mind to not merely cope with homework and projects, but to become an expert in empowering your child to get it right…themselves!
