So ds is 10 and ALL the parents evenings from Nursery - year 4 went really well. Bright boy, perfectionist traits which he needs to overcome but natural mathematician, popular, happy etc.
And then, with no prior warning, the year 5 parents evening was a shocker. He hands no homework in, he is very moody and often believes he can't do the work, he panics under pressure. The maths teacher (having been v complimentary earlier in the year) basically suggested that he might struggle to pass any entrance exams.
While I remain appalled at the way the school have communicated this, I need to try and deal with it now. Without scaring ds even further.
Anyone got any tips for building confidence? I'm thinking a small amount of mental maths every day? Anything else I could do?
He does do his homework when it comes home so clearly I need to make sure it always comes home and is always handed in.
