How To Support Your Child's Learning

Methods to help your child study and learn

There's a lot you can do to help your child with their homework, coursework and exam revision.

Here are some ways you can help:

suggest doing homework as soon as it is received so that the information is fresh in your child's mind from classes
encourage your child to speak up when in difficulty, as you may be able to help find the answers
make sure your child has a good work-life balance, and doesn't spend too much time either going out with friends or sitting and doing homework
find out about educational programmes on radio or television
find out if there are any study support or homework clubs that may help

finding internet sites and safe chat rooms that can help with studying
