There are two scenarios we usually see:
Many children have problems with math from the very beginning and others develop them along the way for multiple reasons. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to helping them out -- it is crucial to identify the root of their problem and find a personalized solution for them.
Potential Reasons Kids Struggle
How You Can Help
Get familiar with their curriculum. To begin understanding the cause of your child’s problems, it is important to try and stay on top of the curriculum from the very beginning. Understanding where their struggle began, can help identify the root cause and find ways to help them.
Talk to their teacher. Many parents who try to help their children with math homework only confuse them further with different teaching methods or sometimes because they don’t fully understand it themselves. Working with the teacher first will help you see how you could be more effective in helping them.
External Help. Kids often respond better to assistance from someone other than their parents. Hiring a professional tutor was sometimes seen as a luxury or unnecessary, but today, with busy parents, and more complex school curriculums, they have become part of the norm.
