I want to help and support them but I feel too embarrassed to ask for what best to do because of the level they're working at. They're in year 4 and expected to finish the year at level 4a/5c across the board.
My problem is I don't want them to become complacent or bored but still want them to fit in well with their peers so I've almost been subconsciously withholding support to hold them back which is awful I know but I don't know how else to deal with it.
They're a well rounded sociable child that has extra curricular activities they attend
I want to support them academically, but my embarrassment in feeling I can't discuss their ability in RL is really holding me back from doing this.
Is there anything I can do? The school seem to think that as they are sailing through they don't need to do anything or stretch my dc which is also causing me concern.
Sorry if this seems like a boast it really isn't it's simply me wanting the best for my child
