Practical Suggestions for Parents of Year 10 Students

• Listen to your children. Listen to what they are telling you about what motivatesthem by their excitement and enthusiasm. Take note of what de-motivates themthrough their lack of enthusiasm.

• Observe your children. What are their strengths? Do they have an opportunity touse these strengths every day? Help them to become aware of their key strengths.

• Encourage a growth mindset through experimentation and learning from errorsand mistakes. View errors as an opportunity to learn and to develop perseverance,rather than catastrophising the situation.

• Encourage your children to be mindful and to develop empathy for others.
