Parent Focus 3

(part 3 of 6 from the article Parent Focus)

 What should I do at the lesson?

Although your role will change over time, your basic job at the lesson is that of silent secretary.  Please sit where you can easily see and hear what is going on.  Follow the flow of the lesson, taking notes for your own reference, and be sure to write down the practice assignments and goals made by the teacher.  Ask questions for clarification, but try hard to let the teacher work directly with your child.  Interjecting with too many comments or suggestions can be confusing or frustrating for your child, and may disrupt the learning process.
