parent council...
What parents can do – sharing, planning and learning!
- Listen, talk, share and encourage – this has a big influence on young people’s learning
- Do things together – learn together and have fun together
- Praise effort
- Encourage a ‘can do’ approach – ‘give it a try, you might just like it’
- Help them to respect others
- Talk to them about their strengths and interests, and help them make choices based on these
- Find out what learning is happening at school and do what you can at home to build on that
- Help them work on tasks on their own and then talk about it with you afterwards
- Encourage any reading – books, online – it all helps!
- Look for opportunities at home to develop literacy and numeracy skills: Money, number problems, time, measuring, matching, size, reading, writing, understanding instructions, questioning information
- Encourage them to make their own choices
- Help prepare for change – talk about it together
- Ask for extra help if you think your child needs it for any reason. Visit www.infoscotland.com/justask
- Be there – help, listen, support and encourage
- Talk to them about how they are feeling
