Teaching International School Parents in Tokyo Positive Parenting Skills:
Updated: Oct 6
Your middle schooler rolls their eyes, slams the door, and shouts,
“I’ll do my homework later!” the moment you ask about an overdue assignment for school.
Now put that same child in front of me, an outside Learning Specialist.
They sit up, open their workbook and laptop, and get to work without an argument.
It isn’t magic.
When a child is stuck, the way you approach them can either create more resistance or help them get moving.
As Learning Specialists, we are trained to recognize what is getting in the way and use those strategies that help a child start, stay with the task, and work through it.
We teach parents how to do the same thing.
How to talk to your child without immediately creating resistance.
How to provide support without taking over.
Let's stop turning every conversation about schoolwork into a fight. Kinota Braithwaite - Learning & Assessment Specialist
