According to experts, children who deliberately want to do poorly in school simply do not exist.

However, nobody has cancelled the issues of school performance. It is important to understand when the alarming moment comes and what parents should do because of the child’s poor performance.

Academic failure

It has clear signs.

1. These are low grades in school subjects. But one or two low grades are not yet a reason to worry. Measures should be taken if the average grade is persistently decreasing.

2. Also a clear signal is information from the teacher - a call, an entry in the diary, a request to visit school.

3. You need to pay attention to the lack of interest in learning, which can also happen because the child does not feel safe at school.

4. There is also reason to think about the increased anxiety of the student and the hushing up of problems when parents try to understand them.

What should parents do?

First, parents should help to sort out the unlearned material. It is important to help understand the topic, and not just do homework.

Secondly, you need to follow the child’s daily routine, since a decrease in academic performance may be associated with lack of sleep and an addiction to gadgets.

Thirdly, talk to the teacher and ask him to pay more attention to the child.

Another option is to try to find an activity in which the child could reveal his talents to the maximum in order to compensate for problems with learning.
