"I am not a maths person!"

"I don't like Writing!" 

“I can’t read the books I want to, I get the baby books.”

"I hate spelling! I just can't do it!"

"To be good at maths, you have to be able to do two textbook pages in like 10 minutes."

These are things that children have said to me when describing their relationship with learning or how they see themselves as learners. 

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!

I was one of those kids at school - I just didn't get it and I thought being clever and smart wasn't for me either, so what changed? 

My mindset - I developed a growth mindset. My biggest block was maths but now I believe that maths is FOR ME!

Why? I was training to become a teacher and I knew that I had to change how I thought about maths or let my future pupils down.

If you would like your child to have a more positive relationship with maths, be more confident in their abilities and ENJOY maths, writing, reading and spelling, then I have just the thing.
