Weekly plan · week of 2026-10-26
Online: about 10 minutes of games a day. Offline: these plays this week.
☐ Test, don't just reread
- Help your child turn notes into questions (the Revision Quiz Maker can help teens).
- Quiz in short sessions, answers covered.
- Revisit the ones they missed the next day.
Together: Turn revision into a family quiz show at dinner — they write the questions.
☐ Chunk it down
- Ask your child to break tonight's work into three to five small steps.
- Tick each step off on paper as it's done.
- Take a two-minute stretch between chunks.
Together: Break a family job (making dinner, packing for a trip) into steps and tick them off together.
☐ Four-count breathing
- Practise together: breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4.
- Do three rounds before homework or a test.
- Let your child lead it once this week.
Together: Draw a square and trace it with a finger while breathing round it together.
