I remember as a parent giving my children quiet time and space (and plenty of food) so they could study in their own way. My daughter preferred to study with a close group of her friends whereas my son liked his own space and his own pace, which always frightened us a bit wondering whether he was doing enough. However both did well and moved onto higher education.
