Video: Advice to other parents of NCEA students

[Parent 1]

I suppose the advice I’d give to other parents is to really set some time to sit with your child.

[Parent 2]

Seeing where your children want to go. What do they want out of NCEA? And just letting them know that you’re there to support whatever avenue they want to take in their job, or life skills. Yeah.

[Parent 3]

Ask them what they’re doing, and try and get out of them when their internal assessments are due. And try is the key word.

[Parent 4]

Just sit down with them, talk to them, ask them what’s going on in those subjects. The conversation is more about well, what can we do in our capacity to help you?

[Parent 1]

And if it’s just to make a cup of tea in the middle of the night to help them stay motivated then that’s all that they need.
