and explain what they are doing. Help them to plan their time in the evening. Know your son/daughter’s targets for each

subject. Ask your son/daughter to give you regular

updates on how well they are meeting/exceeding their targets .

Encourage 100% attendance. Back up any work completed on the computer at
