You don’t quit 4+ assessment prep - you stop building habits.
/You may be surprised to hear that I work with some parents who quit. Not many. But there are some. Especially now that we are supporting around 200 parents every single year with 4+ assessment preparation.
Some simply stop.
But they’re not just ‘quitting’. They’re not just ‘stopping’.
What they’re doing is completely stopping building the habits needed to support their children to be successful not just with their assessments but with their learning in general. Now, I obviously will never know if they enlist the help of someone else once they stop working with us but for the most part, they simply stop.
They want to hand over the responsibility to the child’s nursery or pre-prep and I don’t think this is wise at all. You never want to hand over the responsibility of your child’s success to another person. The responsibility of your child’s success is yours.
Only yours.
Understand that. And understand that very well from as early as possible.
Why should a nursery or a pre- prep care as much as you about the success of your child? Tell me?
Why?
Because you’re paying them money?
Well, actually you’re not paying the teachers are you? The teachers are on their own salary provided by the nursery/pre prep/ school, You are funding the business or the school or the nursery.
That is all.
Having money does not equate to 4+ assessment success. All of the clients we work with here at CMT have money.
That’s obvious, no?
If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to afford a 30k - 50k education yearly for their children.
When you stop supporting your child with their 4+ assessment preparations you stop building the daily habits of reading with them daily, of doing numbers with them daily, of questioning daily or writing daily etc, etc. When you stop building the habits it’s obvious that your child will never make as much progress as the child who is doing these things every single day or for 3.5 hours a week (which is what I recommend to our clients).
Our clients know that daily habits will support their children to not only be wildly successful in their 4+ assessments but to also be wildly successful in the progress that they make with their learning in general.
For your challenge today, I would like you to play ‘Pom pom avalanche’ with your child. It’s very simple. Grab a colander, some pom poms and pipe cleaners (all things you can quickly buy off Amazon). Fill the colander with pom poms and turn the colander upside. Place pipe cleaner through the holes of the colander. Invite your child to remove the pipe cleaners. As they remove them, some of the pom poms should fall to the table. Excellent for fine motor control and focus and concentration.
