Here are some things you can do if you’re concerned that your child is struggling with academics.
Talk to Your Child
Ask open-ended questions to figure out the source of the problem.
If your child is struggling with their work, it may be related to anxiety, bullying or a learning disability.
Show Interest
Ask questions about the topics your child is studying and offer your own insights to round out your child’s understanding.
Create Ideal Study Conditions
Designate specific times and places to study in order to avoid distractions.
Help your child with homework and projects, but don’t do their homework for them.
Discuss Long-Term Goals
Talking about what interests your child and focusing on long-term objectives can help them better understand the importance of education.
Focus on Effort
Praise your child for working hard and making progress.
Use positive reinforcement to take some pressure off and make schoolwork less stressful.
