Since not every parents are available during our online classes and students can see each other, we asked parents to not be in the video. Parents can still take the class to motivate their children but shouldn’t being seen on the video.
As long as the child is ok with that. As always, keep it positive and playful. At Bel Air, if a student refuses to participate, we move on after the 1st, 2nd or 3rd prompt depending on how flexible is the child.
Classes are recorded and shared to Bel Air parents only.
