Teacher’s View for Learning. The following is from a Teacher who taught for years and has the following points for YOUR child.
Help the student discover a passion outside of academics like sports, music, drama, arts, community service, advocate for animals, or computer skills. There are many more but these are a few. This will provide a diversion from schoolwork and create a more well-rounded individual. These interests may shift from time to time, so encourage the student to try new things.
Prepare the student for anxious moments, developing ways to handle stressful situations and anxiety. Emphasize that asking for outside help when needed is not a sign of weakness.
Every child has had trauma in their childhood. Trauma can be moving to a new school, divorce, and a mired of other issues in childhood. Dr. Gabor Mate has a video about how to heal trauma which everyone needs to listen to. Dr. Mate has many interviews and podcasts that make your journey less stressful.
Work with the student at home on basic readiness skills: multiplication facts, multiplication and division operations. Also the application of fractions and percentiles. Nurturing a positive attitude towards reading and writing.

It is your job to have YOUR child prepared for every new year and the new class. They need their TOOLBOX. And they have to have a Code to live by. They cannot live by what others do or what others want them to do.
Teacher’s View for Learning.
YOU the parent has already been through all this development. But today’s school environment is different than when you were there. Be mindful of their situation and give them confidence and courage to move to their highest level in the classroom. Never let them fear to be the best in their class. Inspire the child to be their best. And this is what the child should always aspire to do each day.
