The One Teacher That Changed Everything
One study found that the amount of maths anxiety parents had predicted their child's achievement in school. But only if they helped with homework. If you have maths anxiety and you're helping your kids with homework, you're probably communicating things like I was terrible at this school. And that's how it gets passed on to kids. So one of the things I say to parents from when I get parent presentations is even if you hate maths, you need to just fake it with your kids. You should be always endlessly optimistic and happy about doing maths.
