Please help me I want to get better for next academic year so looking for advice now. When I’m helping my daughter with her homework and explain anything she gets wrong she just screams at me “YES I know”, when she clearly doesn’t as she gets it wrong and then calmly ask her to explain to me if she understands and she isn’t able to. She will be in year 6 and teacher has expressed concern with her maths and she’s slightly below where she should be, school has given me homework to do especially for her to get her to the level she needs.
I don’t want to be rude but I often find mumsnet threads derail from any off hand single comment the OP makes - I’m really appreciate of responses i will get but can i please get advice on how to deal with the “arrogance” rather than any underlying issues which I know and school know so no need to go into depth. Basically I need help in how not to get frustrated with her screaming she knows when she clearly doesn’t. She’s really lovely in school but with me she’s quite arrogant. Not just in learning but household stuff she tells me I’m doing it wrong (I think she gets from MIL, as mil takes delight in telling me I’m wrong)
im really scared of responses I will get , I genuinely want advice on how to deal with the “YES I KNow” and she put her fingers in her ears and stops me from explaining to her. She does this to my husband too but he just walks off and says he doesn’t have time for this. He’s a secondary school economics teacher btw and his maths knowledge is far superior to mine. I’m not claiming to be an expert but she does t even let me finish my sentence before she starts screaming and ignoring me,
