How will I know what homework my child has

been given everyday?

Teachers would get the pupils to write down their homework in

their handbook according to the date.

Parents can check in with their child on the homework and

support them in completing their homework.

Please provide a homework file.

How can I support my child’s growth and personal

development?

• Talk to your child when she goes home and ask about her day.

Don’t just ask about what she had learnt that day.

Ask about what did she do with her friends, anything interesting that had

happened in class.

Suggested questions:

1. Tell me something that made you laugh today

2. Tell me one thing you learned today

3. Who did you like to play with during recess

4. What did you eat during recess today

5. Where did you play during recess?

6. What was the best thing that happened today?

7. Was there a time when you are unhappy?

How can I support my child’s growth and personal

development?

• If your child experiences sadness, frustrations or anxiety, be patient and

find out more about what had happened.

E.g. friendship issues, unable to complete homework, bully

[Stay calm and discuss what the child can do to resolve this issue.

Parents can also let the teacher know of the situation and work closely with

the teacher in monitoring your child.]

• Guide your child to manage her daily routines, e.g. pack her own bag, wear

her own uniform, wear her own shoes, maintain hygiene,

manage her allowance (role play)

• Listen to your child and be patient.

Your child needs assurance and support.

• Build resilience in your child.

Don’t let her give up so easily.

• Let your child make some decisions on her own by offering

options for her, e.g. would you want to have rice or noodles for

lunch?

• Every child develops at her own pace.

• Do spend time bonding with your child.
