Why a failing child can easily become a successful person: not everyone knows about this

Many people know from personal experience that good grades are not always a guarantee of a great career and high income.
Sometimes our former classmates, who were not distinguished by exemplary academic performance, become excellent businessmen or achieve unprecedented success in their chosen field of activity.
The fact is that poor students often have excellent chances of becoming successful people.
What are their advantages?
They respond to criticism correctly.
A child with poor academic performance was probably often scolded by parents and teachers. Adults did not always choose correct expressions, as they were desperately trying to get through to them.
As a result, such children are able to calmly react to criticism and even negativity. Not everyone has this skill at such an early age.
Excellent communication skills
Children with poor academic performance often have to negotiate with excellent students about doing homework. They also often have to find a common language with teachers, who are also not happy with the presence of a poor student in the class.
As a result, the child actively trains his communication skills.
"I'll show them all"
It is no secret that academic school knowledge can be difficult for many. Therefore, children do not study well not only because of some of their own shortcomings, but because of a lack of understanding.
But this knowledge is not always an indicator that a child will achieve something in life, experts note.
Something outstanding is rarely expected from poor students, which cannot but affect children. Therefore, the desire to prove to their former classmates and teachers that the child is worth something is often "blamed" in the desire for success.
This doesn't mean that you have to accept that your child is a poor student and regularly brings home bad grades. You just shouldn't think that your children will miss out on opportunities to succeed because of this.
If the child is struggling with the learning process, you can try to help him gently and delicately. However, with the right approach, children still have the opportunity to reveal their talent in the future.
