Prompt / template
My child is in grade [x] and is stuck on this [math/science/reading] question: [paste or photo]. Don't give the answer. Explain the idea behind it with an everyday example, then give one hint at a time and ask them a question after each hint. If they get it wrong, explain why kindly and try a different way.
