Hi all,
I'm a dad, looking for advice on ways to address a lack of confidence in one of my kids...
Background: my wife took a full time job recently and I mainly work at home = I'm more involved than before in school runs, homework, packed lunch prep etc.
In a recent parent's evening, the broad feedback was:
- my daughter's confidence has yo-yoed throughout the year
- she over-relies on adult reassurance (often knows the answer but wants reassurance)
- gets flustered with mental maths that has to be done fast (I've always had a concern she never mastered the basics on maths back when she was 5 or so).
- is in a class with some "strong personalities" and could possibly do with pushing for her ideas to shape the games they play more.
I'd be very grateful for any specific suggestions on habits / activities to increase her confidence over time.
