Question 1

My child struggles with reciprocal conversation. How can I support them without taking over?

Accepted Answer

Use the “listen, reflect, add” method. When your child speaks, reflect back what you heard (“You really liked the new game’s strategy”) before adding a related question (“What did you like best about it?”). Keep responses short and avoid finishing their sentences. Praise effort, not perfection.

Question 2

How can I encourage my child to transition away from screens without a power struggle?

Accepted Answer

Use clear cues like a timer or verbal warning, offer a short transition activity, and model the behavior yourself. Praise effort when they switch tasks smoothly.

Question 3

Should I reward my child for good exam scores?

Accepted Answer

Instead of tying rewards to scores, praise effort and strategies like 'I noticed you used flashcards—that really helped.' Focus on progress, not perfection, to build confidence without pressure.
