Our son comes home sad and afraid, takes the notes out of his backpack and shows them to us, has suspended one or several subjects. It is then when in the majority of cases the reproaches, anger, screams and even punishments occur.
Parents take the bad grades of the children as something personal and we tend to focus the situation just the opposite of how we should. Before committing ourselves to commit all the possible errors of anger, we must analyze what the bad grades of the children are hiding.
Why children get bad grades
Poor grades are not always the result of the child's poor management a, their irresponsibility or their laziness when facing studies. In many occasions there are other causes behind, because, in short, nobody likes to suspend, or want to get bad grades. Most of the time, the notes hide other problems: Son - They are the result of adepressed state
of the minor. - They are going through delicate moments at home ya, either due to family fights or separation from parents.
- At school he is suffering bullying from other classmatesor he does not feel integrated into the group.
- You are not being motivated correctly by teachers and even by parents. Lacks the necessary stimuli .
- You do not have a good study technique, you have not been taught correctly to study.
- You can hide a learning problem or other disorders, such as ADHD. What parents should not do if the child arrives with bad grades-
Insult him
: never use the words "lazy", "dumb" or "irresponsible". They are labels that damage the child's self-esteem. It is preferable to tell them that they can do it and make them feel confident in their abilities. Positive motivation always achieves more achievements than disqualifications and insults.
- Take it personally:children do not get bad grades to punish us or to rebel against us. Dramatising excessively is counterproductive.
- Punish him : the child who has received bad grades has already had a penalty. It is more positive to build and work on what we can do to reverse the situation, either in receiving extracurricular support, giving them the necessary tools to learn to learn or encouraging dialogue, effort and work.
- Not to give support: bad school grades tell us about a problem that the child is going through. Whether you are going through a complicated personal situation or due to a learning problem, we must be by your side, let you know that everything will be solved and we will always be there to help you.
