A survey conducted on the Angus Reid Forums and commissioned by Kumon Canada, reveals that parents of struggling students 7-16 years old, are frustrated, unable to help, and don\u2019t know how to approach the subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>Of the parents surveyed, two \u2013in-five (41%) agree the greatest barrier to their child\u2019s education is their confidence when they struggle with a specific subject. It\u2019s not just the children who suffer, but two-thirds (65%) of parents agree the whole family is affected when their child is struggling at school.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The Road to Success<\/h2>\n<p>That lack of success damages learning outcomes. Families surveyed reported that a continued lack of success led to negative emotions like frustration (59%) and diminished motivation to learn (37%). New Canadian communities, with non-English and French speaking families are also reporting high levels of frustration (45%) and discouragement (35%).<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, there is a solution. While private tutoring is unaffordable for three out of four Canadian parents, a learning strategy promoting self-directed learning can help the child seek out resources on their own, saving money, time and emotional energy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/homework-frustrates-both-parents-child.jpeg\" alt=\"homework makes everyone feel lost sometimes\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"rtecenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The Kumon Method<\/h2>\n<p>At Kumon, homework is a big part of how our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/ca-en\/how-kumon-works?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Referral&amp;utm_campaign=CA%20blog%20learn%20more\">learning method<\/a> works.
