Among which your daughter, your son. Who may already have the textbook full of homework. And aged 6 to 18-19, he or she will slavery until the end of June. (each in turn you will tell me!)
I hear you moan, I feel you anguish, I see you sweating, putting insane pressure on you so that your Juliette, your Martin, your Ahmed or your Elisa succeed as well as possible in his year, his exams. And I hear you ask yourself THE question: “How will I be able to help my Juliette, my Martin, my Ahmed, my Elisa, to work well at home on a daily basis ???”
Keep calm! Delphine Péron has lots of advice for you!
Delphine Péron, she is a former associate professor who now supports Touraine students within her company Cocci Learning. She trains teachers, and she writes textbooks for editions school book.
Here are his tips for preparing the ground mentally and materially with the child:
- Take a break between school and homework
- Establish a calm working environment
- Let the child choose his preferred position to work: sitting, lying, standing, running
- Help him to walk towards: “what is it to learn? why learn? ” (because an order can create tension)
- Do not impose, constrain: teenagers need to assert themselves, position themselves, know themselves (The Secret of the Child)
Methodological advice to help him work effectively on a daily basis:
- get organized during the week by ANTICIPATING: do a retro-planning of homework
- View videos and interactive exercises on the web at Learning Apps or textbooks on the school book. It’s free !
- make their own individual files and / or mind maps
And finally, exercises to work the memory to really learn (and no longer repeat like a parrot)
- memorizations repeated at different times
- memory by hand, body, places
- help them find their strengths to build on them but maintain other memories
- flash-cards
All this without pressure! There is no such thing as the perfect child and you know what? I have a scoop: neither does the perfect parent!
If you are not doing well, if schoolwork becomes a source of conflict and tension at home, if you have neither the time nor the inclination to support your child-student on a daily basis, you can contact outside helpers.
