How to help:

  • Encourage persistence

  • Remind them everyone struggles
  • Share that experts were beginners once

"My child wants to skip class"

First, understand why:

  • Temporary frustration?
  • Scheduling conflict?

  • Technical difficulties?

Then address it:

  • Talk to your child openly
  • Contact teacher for insights
  • Consider makeup classes
  • Reinforce commitment

"Is my child progressing normally?"

Remember:

  • Every child learns differently
  • Some concepts click immediately, others take time
  • Comparison with others isn't helpful
  • Consistency matters most
