Here are 4 Ways to help your children fly on their own.

1. Let them do their own homework

- Help then think through and arrive at the solutions, without feeding them the answers.

2. Let them develop their own goals

- Avoid telling them how many marks you expect. Instead, guide them to stage achievable goals!

3. Let them stand up for themselves

- Forgot their homework? Let them face the consequences (and the teacher) to build character.

4. Let them know it's OK to fail

- Every mistake is a learning opportunity. Share how you've learnt to do so from your own stumbles.
