How can I tell if I am pushing my child too hard?

You will know you are pushing too hard if you are getting irritated and angry when you are working with your children. You might be angry with yourself, the teacher or your child. If you feel calm but your children are getting upset, check whether:
What you are asking them to do is too hard
They need a rest or something to eat
Your children think if they look upset you will feel sorry for them and let them stop work.
