Recently, more and more attention has been paid not to children's grades at school, but to their level of knowledge. Therefore, parents are not advised to punish children for bad grades.
However, it is still necessary to understand the reasons why the average score is decreasing.
Child psychologist Natalia Naumova explained how to do this in an interview with NEWS.ru.
The expert does not advise punishing children for bad grades. The first thing they need at such moments is support.
Parents need to understand the reasons. Often, everything depends on the influence of the teacher. It is also worth paying attention to the level of knowledge and abilities of the child.
If you resort to punishment, the situation will definitely not improve. The success of a child who is constantly criticized for poor performance by loved ones will definitely not improve.
In 99% of cases, it is definitely not hooliganism, but because the child did not succeed in something. Parents sometimes see that their child is lazy, that he did not study enough, did not finish his studies, and they want to punish him to get rid of shame and anger, - the expert notes.
The right thing to do in this case would be to discuss the situation and find options for solving the problem.
If a child feels support and love from his parents, then his motivation to study will only increase.
