• Help your child establish an after-school routine that he or she can stick to.
• Practice reading skills with your child. Read, and then listen to your child read. Discuss what is being read.
• Talk to your child each day about homework assignment; go through work; see if it is complete; ask questions about it. But don't do your child's homework for him/her.
• Set academic goals that are appropriate for your child's age and maturity.
• Inform your friends and family about your child's academic success. This boosts his/her self image and motivates him/her to work harder.
• Discuss the value of a good education with your child. Ask about her/his possible career options.
• Set limits on TV watching and be firm about bed-time.

Mathematics is very scary to my son. I must be factual with you, I do his math home work for him. He said it helps him agaist getting spanked.
Personally, I love calculations, I enjoy solving problems(calculations) off-hand without the use of pen and paper and I want my seven months old son to adopt same.
Correct Guy, I understand your helping your son. But, will you always be there for him? Definitely not. Give him wings of independence and let him find his destiny. He may fail, but it is better he tries. As a way out, get him some computer games that will task his imagination. Relate it to his mathematical problems. If he can solve the problems highlighted by the computer games, tell he, he can as well solve his mathematics problems. Hope to read from you.
Salim, wishing your son all you wish for him. Hope he develops into a mathematics genius.
Don't figure out why we are all scared of mathematics. It depends on your attitude to it anyway. My kids are managing with it.
