Hi Stebiz,

Sorry I can't really help but it may be worth asking the class teacher, she might be able to get you a copy as I'm sure she will have one.

Phone some library's. You local one may be too small to have them but they will probably (from memory) be at a large library.

I wrote on here originally asking for maths papers to help with my daughters SATS in May. I have done many with her in the past. She recently had mock SATS in school and got 98% on Maths and in the late eighties on Science and English. She came top of her class. She also has just passed her 11plus and was one of 100+ pupils out of 700+ to get into her local grammer. I haven't had a tutor for her but spent hours and hours going through the different subjects with her.

Her teacher has said to her that he 'expects' 100% from her in her SATS (and I'm sure she won't be far off) but I am now starting to feel really guilty. It seems the better a child is - the more that is expected from them. I want her to do well but not at the expense of her childhood or happiness. I'm finding it hard to get the right balance.

I failed miserably at school and don't want her to do the same.

Anybody offer any guidance??

Cheers

When the teacher said he expected 100% from her was he talking about marks or effort? I don't think it is good to put too much pressure on children. Remember as well that SATs don't count for anything as far as your daughter is concerned, they are just for school league tables. I think the thing is to use encouragement to try hard and do well rather than put pressure on and make her feel she has failed if she doesn't get top marks. She sounds like a very bright girl and she should enjoy her education and not have to view it as all grind and fear of failure.

I was going on what my daughter told me. I hadn't thought about the 100% effort view. Maybe she mis-understood him. I'd much rather her be happy rather than get top marks so I try not to pressure her. But you know what children are like - they need pushing now and again!! Thanks for your answer.

The hardest stage is going to be when she is about 14 or 15 not because of the work but because she will discover boys and may neglect her studies. Another thing to be wary of is that you do not let her peak too soon – she wants to have enthusiasm for GCSEs and beyond. She needs to devote adequate time and energy to her work but she should also have other outlets and time away from study.

It depends a lot on what your daughter is like too, which you will obviously know far better than we do. I'm terrible under pressure, totally crack-up. That said I still need a bit of pushing sometimes but it has to be more of the encouragement variety or I get so fixated on the fear of failure that I'm paralysed by it and can't get anything done. Bizarrely, if I'm not under pressure and able to enjoy my work I have a very long attention span and can be focussed to the point of almost obsession.

You obviously want your daughter do well and to support her to do that and you're aware of the danger of over-pressuring her so that sounds like a good combination to me. It sounds like you are an engaged parent so I'm sure you'll figure out what the right balance is for your daughter.

You will probably find that she will sit those papers anyway at school as part of the run up to SATs.

pbradley has a good point about going off the boil and having other activities to balance.
