Is your child's school performance below expectations?
It is common in families where parents have many personal tasks and little time to accompany the children's school activities.
For this reason, it has become much more necessary that they are prepared to quickly understand the changes in school behavior of children and adolescents.
In today's publication, you and I will discover how to participate and contribute to your child's school performance, even if they have little time.
Contribute and insist on concentration.
There are several ways in which parents can help children focus more on the task. First:
Is your child's study environment healthy? Is it organized, is there a comfortable chair and desk that easily accommodates all the material you use?
The disorder, so common, mainly in adolescence, leads to mental stress and makes memorization difficult, so it should be avoided to the maximum.
In addition, try to make the environment illuminate with natural light. The lamps should be used only at night since the fatigue they cause can decrease performance.
Another important factor for concentration is keeping tablets, cell phones, and distant games.
If possible, control the use of these devices: if your child has a habit of playing video games before studying, this is not a good sign.
Electronic games place children and adolescents in a state of anxiety that can negatively affect their studies. Negotiating schedules and placing games always after the task is a way to avoid stress.
Teach to do one thing at a time.
Perhaps the greatest characteristic of the new generations is precisely an enormous propensity to perform several tasks at the same time.
This is not necessarily a defect most of the time, but studies always produce more when they are done with exclusivity.
Keep electronic devices (the good old television included) away from your child's study environment.
Show him that there are tasks that must be done with all the attention. This is a learning not only for studies but for life!
Do not charge excessive school performance.
Of course, there must be a charge for the results. This is something that will go through the life of your child, from now until you are an adult.
But it is always good to know how to differentiate the buildup of excessive pressure. The healthier behavior of parents to stimulate children's school performance is a means to load, encourage and support.
The excessive collection will affect the self-esteem of the child or adolescent, which will leave him insecure and will not allow him to harmoniously develop his socio-emotional and educational skills. All this, of course, can lead to a worsening of the results.
To counteract the charges, always praise your child's achievements as a student.
It is necessary that he perceives that he can be reprimanded for the bad results, but that he will also be praised by the good ones. This will make him perceive justice in the process and cooperate with him.
But stay tuned: you should not praise the results, but the effort of your son to conquer them.
In the same way, do not censor it if you have tried a lot and even if it has gone wrong. That is a sign that the problem is elsewhere.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that getting involved is more than just doing homework. Talk to your child, ask about your day at school, discuss things wisely, make the child feel safe to talk.
Constant dialogue helps you see changes in behavior and help before problems arise. With a good school and participating parents, your child's school performance will be high and consistent.
