Helpful Hints, Step 4

     "4. Solve problems on their own. If your child can't figure out the answer to a math problem, help him think about a way to find the answer. Ask, "Have you worked other problems like this? Does your math book show how to find the right answer?"

In the packet we sent home at Open House there was a story attached called "How love can cripple." This story shows the importance of letting your child solve problems on their own. As parents we want to do everything for them, but sometimes it is better to let them do things on their own to teach them to be responsible. This year, that is one of our goals: to make responsible students. We hope these tips help make this year a success!
