• If your child asks you the answer to an exercise, ask the child to do the following:

Answer the exercise to the best of their ability. Many of the courses are designed to provide automatic tutorials when the child misses a predetermined number of exercises.

When the session has finished, explain the concepts presented to your child.

• Print course reports regularly and provide offline assistance with the content that your child is finding difficult.
