Learning at home resources and ideas for children aged 13-16 years
Young people aged 13-16 years are thinking more deeply and are able to consider their place in the world. They are developing viewpoints, so allow them the time to share and reflect on their opinions.
Talking with your child about their interests and learning will help them to understand different perspectives. They are developing organisational skills and can be encouraged to work more independently for longer periods throughout the day.
