Staying calm in PSLE year

A sample of the Parents Academy.

  1. Your calm is catching. Children read our mood faster than our words. A parent who sounds steady helps more than an extra worksheet.
  2. Name the week, not the exam. Say "This week we do two short Maths sets" instead of "PSLE is in 3 months".
  3. A fixed stop time. Pick a time when study ends, every day. Protect sleep and a little play.
  4. Ask, then listen. Try "Which part felt hard today?" before "Why did you get this wrong?".
  5. Look after yourself too. Ten minutes for yourself, a walk, or a call with a friend.
  6. Use the report, not guesses. A weekly look at the weak-topic report takes five minutes.

Tonight: end study on time, then ask one question: "What was the best part of your day?"

For tutors: teacher-style training is planned too: model method, heuristics, designing a good test and marking schemes, with an e-certificate.
