Back to reality – Are you prepared for the new academic year?

The kids are back at school, your house is blissfully quiet, and you can finally turn your thoughts toward necessary household chores that backed up over the summer. But you’re still worried.

This evening, when they’re back home from a long day at school, the questions will come. “Mum, can you help me with my algebra?” “Dad, do you know what Newton’s second law is?” “Can you show me how to do this chemistry equation please?”

The good news is that you’re not alone. According to new research by Omega-3 experts Equazen eye q, parents often find their child’s maths ability exceeds anything they learned at school and feel daunted by subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology.

From helping with homework to getting your child motivated, the new academic term can seem like an upward battle. Yet while it may be impossible to give your kids advice on maths and science problems, there is still help out there to ensure they get the most out of the experts – their teachers.

Here to help answer your concerns about handling the mounds of homework soon to be appearing on your child’s desks are former TV presenter Maggie Philbin and Jane Wragg of Equazen.

Maggie Philbin and Jane Wragg will be live online at
webchats.tv/chat/back_to_reality on Monday 7th September at 3.00pm to discuss how best to help your children handle their homework.
