A few days ago I posted a SATs question over a few groups.
Over 280 parents and teachers commented. Dozens messaged me privately.
Not because of the maths.
Because of the question I asked underneath it.
"What's the first thing you would ask a child- before they attempt to solve any problem?"
Honestly - the SATs question was irrelevant. I could have chosen any problem. Any subject. Any age.
But before you watch the video, I want to explain why I made it.
Something has been concerning me for a while.
I work closely with parents, children and teachers, and as I've been teaching for 30 years, I see things more clearly than most and it needs addressing.
Parent–child and teacher–child relationships feel weaker than they've ever been. Technology is pulling us apart. Parents are under pressure. Teachers are overwhelmed. And too many children are growing up without the consistent mentally healthy adult support they need.
Mental health challenges in children are at an all-time high.
I don't think that's a coincidence.
This video is my small attempt to help.
Because most parents don't ask this question.
Most teachers don't ask it.
Even experienced tutors don't ask it.
It's four simple, obvious words. But asking them makes thinking clearer, more logical, easier.
And it does something else.
It creates a moment of real connection between you and your child.
Our children are entering a world that will demand that they really THINK - not just remember and repeat.
Question things. Work things out through logic - not blindly follow steps and formulas.
Older generations were taught to repeat and regurgitate and not disrupt the status quo.
Our children cannot afford to do that - that's what robots do.
The ability to THINK is the most precious gift you can give your child right now, but they need to be taught how to do it.
You have to model it first.
Watch the video in link. These four words are where it all starts.❤️
