They way we respond to our children when asking questions and while helping them with learning activities is important.
Try the 3Cs: Confirm, Complete, Correct!
If your child gives the correct answer, confirm that the answer is correct by saying "yes" or "you are right" and by repeating the answer (Confirm).
If your child gives part of the anwer, then give the rest of the answer (Complete).
If your child does respond or is way off track, instead of saying "no", give the correct answer and move on (Correct).
Using the 3Cs approach will help your child feel successful when doing their learning activities and help make working together a positive experience.
