Back-to-School Success: Mathnasium of Lee's Summit Shares 5 Expert Tips for Parents

Back-to-School Tips

Acknowledging these academic hurdles, Mathnasium of Lee's Summit emphasizes the need for proactive

preparation to bridge any learning gaps and ensure academic success. To assist families during this pivotal back-to-

school period, Mathnasium’s dedicated team has curated practical and actionable tips:

1. Establish a Routine: Establishing a consistent daily routine helps your child manage their time effectively and

prioritize tasks. Consistency in scheduling study sessions, homework time, and breaks helps instill discipline and

ensures that academic responsibilities are met promptly. A well-structured routine also reduces procrastination

and minimizes stress associated with deadlines.

2. Prepare for Homework Anxiety: Homework can be a source of stress for both children and parents. To help

your child navigate homework challenges, establish a supportive environment where they feel comfortable

asking for help. Encourage them to break down assignments into manageable tasks, prioritize tasks based on

deadlines, and take short breaks between assignments to stay focused. Offering praise and encouragement for

their efforts, rather than focusing solely on correct answers, helps build their confidence and resilience.

3. Communicate with Teachers: Regular communication with your child's teachers is crucial for staying informed

about their academic progress and identifying any areas where they may need additional support.

4. Encourage Math Practice: Consistent math practice is essential for reinforcing concepts learned in school and

building confidence in mathematical skills. Encourage your child to engage in daily math practice through

various activities such as math games, online resources recommended by their school, or worksheets tailored to

their grade level. By making math practice a regular part of their routine, you help them retain information and

develop problem-solving abilities.

5. Stay Engaged and Supportive: Demonstrating genuine interest in your child's academic journey shows them

that their education is a priority. Make sure to ask them about their day, how you can help support them at

home and in the classroom, and celebrate all of their achievements, no matter how small, as it can boost their

confidence and motivation.
