The closer the start of the school year, the more activity is observed on the part of parents.
For some, preparing for school means speeding up the curriculum from the previous year; for others, it means purchasing school supplies.
What other mistakes do parents make at the end of summer holidays, reports the publication " DoctorPiter " with reference to an expert.
Parents' mistakes
1. You cannot shift responsibility for preparing for the school year and all organizational matters onto the child.
2. You can’t force a child to choose clubs and extracurricular activities, enrolling them wherever they have to, in the hope that the unnecessary will be weeded out on its own.
3. You cannot talk about school in a negative way, remember mistakes, bad deeds, or otherwise set the child up for a bad attitude towards learning.
4. You cannot compare with others, even if they are children of relatives, neighbors, friends or girlfriends of your child.
5. You cannot ignore the child’s interests concerning school, education and other problems.
6. You cannot force him to wear clothes that he does not like, and you cannot limit his attendance at clubs in which the child shows interest.
7. You cannot set unreasonable goals for your child, which can lead to disappointment and problems with self-esteem.
8. You can’t scare a child with school, which can make getting an education uninteresting and cause a feeling of disgust towards learning.
9. You cannot force a child to obey the teacher unquestioningly.
10. You cannot put a child’s success and academic performance at school above parental love and support.
