Helping your child experience early success

Helping your child experience early success Understanding your child and his / her needs through the years: • Primary 1 – adjustment issues  parents are their heroes • Primary 2 – 4 – settled in  parents are their idols / friends • Primary 5 – 6- onset of puberty, preparing for PSLE, pressures to perform well  parents are naggy

Helping your child experience early success Learning to strike a balance: • Trust • Intervention • Expectations of your child, based on who he / she is

Helping your child experience early success Thus, • Communication • Clear guidelines • Working with the school are key at all stages of your child’s development

We wish you all the best as you journey with your child!
