Description

How do those two words make you feel? More importantly, how do they make your child feel? For many children, their feelings about math change right around fifth grade. It's either overwhelmingly hard or frustratingly boring. What's a parent to do? First, banish "I'm not good at math" from your family's vocabulary. Your child doesn't say it. And you don't say it, even if you feel it's true. Expect that homework will be done, and keep your comments positive. If homework time is becoming tense, seek advice from your child's teacher.
