Is My Child Sufficiently Challenged?
Parent reflection guide

A child can be achieving highly without necessarily being sufficiently challenged. This guide helps parents look beyond attainment and consider whether their child is regularly learning something genuinely new, thinking deeply and developing the skills to manage work that is not immediately easy.

​

The guide will help you:

• Notice patterns in your child's experience of challenge.

• Consider what happens when learning becomes genuinely difficult.

• Gather specific examples to discuss with school.

• Prepare useful questions for a conversation with your child's teacher.

• Consider possible next steps.
