Ep 17 - Is Your Child Under Achieving
The Parent & Teen Toolbox - A podcast by Cai Graham - Tuesdays
Categories:
You have tried to support your child by helping them develop good study habits and showing them the importance of a well balanced daily routine.
But their grades are dropping and they just seem disinterested.
“What’s the point?”
“Schoolwork is boring.”
In this episode, I discuss the difference between Under-Achieving and Not Performing.
I explain why, more often than not - your child’s lack of interest in their studies and schoolwork is more a result of Fear rather than Laziness.
This is not about making sure your child gets straight A’s all the time - it is about helping your child reach their full potential ( inside and outside the classroom ) whatever that means for them
I leave you with 4 pointers to ensure your child feels properly supported :
- What’s their MOTIVATION
2. PRAISE the Effort - Avoid Using Labels
- Set Realistic Expectations
