If possible, ask your child to bring one question to the lesson and observe how the teacher responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does the teacher listen carefully, explain the answer at the child\u2019s level, and allow follow-up questions? Does the teacher notice when the child looks confused?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A shy child may need time to warm up. A quiet trial does not automatically mean the class is unsuitable. If your child loses focus, notice whether the teacher adapts the activity or offers another way to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wukongedu.feishu.cn\/space\/api\/box\/stream\/download\/asynccode\/?code=Zjk4NTc4NThlY2Y4Yjk5YTg2ODViOGM1MDU1ZTA2YmZfYTBPS0NFVDY2eng0NDdLRlpXaFJMNDB3RkU2cDBEYzdfVG9rZW46SDFjNGIzVHFUb3RsZGV4bHlqTGM1aDVXbkFnXzE3OTIwMzEwNTA6MTc5MjAzNDY1MF9WNA&amp;add_watermark=true&amp;scene_type=CCM\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child feels safe asking for help and trying again, consider that a positive sign of classroom fit.
