Tip #4/10
Focus on the journey rather than the destination - The best learning happens when it is approached as a fun adventure.
Observe, observe and observe your child some more. Find out what makes them tick and what their interests are.
Try to create a "visible learning environment" that allows for "rich learning conversations". These learning conversations need to be seen by the child as invitations to show you what they do and don't know, their level of curiosity and what motivates them.
A big part of that process involves taking time to celebrate, with your child, examples of the learning growth they are displaying - social and academic learning as well as academic learning.
