00:0-1	total frustration declining math scores , lost desire to do
00:05	anything with math heating . Given the thought of looking
00:09	at math completely lost in the sea of variables ,
00:14	numbers and equations , homework time with parents who try
00:18	to help end up being tears and total frustration .
00:22	Both this is literally a testimonial from one of my
00:27	students . When he started with the program . If
00:30	this sounds familiar to you , you are not alone
00:35	. Hi , this is dr penn host off wiping
00:38	math tear away . Today we're talking about can older
00:41	students Math . He turned around this students who I
00:44	just read is 1/9 grader struggling with math . Let's
00:49	get on with the topic . Now older kids struggle
00:53	more with math . It feels more hardship than younger
00:57	students because math is sequential by sequential . What we
01:02	really mean is that math topics are built on top
01:06	of each other . So if a child missed the
01:08	beginning subject or beginning concept earlier , then it starts
01:14	what we call an avalanche of academic debt . It's
01:19	similar to a credit card debts . So that not
01:22	only you have to pay for the interest , you
01:24	have to pray for the principal . So each week
01:27	and you're just paying the minimum balance , the principle
01:31	is not touched , but in a similar way academic
01:34	debt . If you don't go back all the way
01:36	to fix where it started the principal part , then
01:40	a debt academic debt will just keep on getting heavier
01:44	and heavier for older kids who are struggling with math
01:49	. Can they be turnaround in one word ? Yes
01:52	. Absolutely . Yes . Now you will have to
01:55	work a little harder but the effort is so worth
01:58	it . More importantly you have to work smart and
02:02	working on the right kind of stuff . So today
02:05	let me share with you with you two strategies and
02:09	give you some tactics to go along with them .
02:12	For strategy . Is this center yourself and become your
02:17	child's math coach ? Think about a coach . What
02:21	coach do they don't really get on the tennis court
02:23	or basketball court with the students or the player ?
02:27	Right . What they do is they have an overall
02:30	game plan . They might have opponents analysis , they
02:35	might know thee nutrition facts , they might know the
02:38	exercise routines to help the students and the player to
02:41	get the most out of the game Well , in
02:44	a similar way , you want to position yourself to
02:46	become a math coach for your child , to guide
02:49	them through this math struggle . How do you do
02:51	that ? Four things First one do not panic because
02:56	if you panic , your child war most likely lose
02:59	hope . Second , do not fight over the grades
03:04	. That's just a power struggle we really want to
03:07	do is become their mentor and learn to listen to
03:10	them , gain their trust so they will share with
03:13	you what it feels like to struggle with Math ,
03:15	whether they going through and what do they think that
03:18	they got stuck on ? What was the we back
03:21	topic that they lost confidence in Math ? You want
03:26	to find that out ? 3rd thing is that own
03:30	up . Once you gain the confidence , you want
03:33	to own up and share whatever you might have ,
03:37	MS looked or overlooked or contributed to their math struggle
03:43	, you want to do that because this will give
03:46	them the sense that they have a mentor . They
03:48	have someone on their side to work through this difficult
03:52	time with them . And the last thing look for
03:56	always constant opportunity to bring out your child shine from
04:01	with them . Confidence is contagious . If you can
04:06	help your child built and cultivate that confidence , that
04:11	confidence will spill over to something that's difficult . Their
04:14	math struggle . Okay , that's the first strategy ,
04:17	basically center yourself and become their math coach . Once
04:21	you get onto the same page with them and you
04:24	earn their trust and you can now tackle the math
04:28	concepts itself . How are you going to do that
04:31	? You're gonna do that by finding the right help
04:34	for them now , what do I mean by right
04:35	help ? It's really instinctive to go out , look
04:39	for tutor who can help with the homework . But
04:41	often that actually is counterproductive because it adds more load
04:47	to kids . You want to find someone who not
04:50	only can do the math , but willing to go
04:53	all the way back with the child as far back
04:56	as needed to plug in and fix that foundational host
05:00	, the Math foundation host because math is sequential and
05:04	that's the only way to fix it . So if
05:07	you do all this , let me share with you
05:09	what happened to my student . This is what he
05:12	wrote his mother Casey after completing the program , his
05:17	grades ones first from these within a few weeks and
05:22	then went to seize and I want to be on
05:24	his final , he got in an a and his
05:28	final exam itself is 100 and 10% cases fully regained
05:33	his confidence and maximizing his potential . In conclusion .
05:39	Yes , absolutely . You can turn back their math
05:42	. Yes . You need to do a little more
05:45	work and work smarter , but it's so worth it
05:48	until next time . Happy parenting .
