How not to nag your child about studies
As a parent everyone wants to do the best for their child. Without realizing, parents can pile high expectations on child. It is done by
- Always talking and comparing.
- Maybe someone got into an elite school overseas or a neighbour's child scored very high on a test.
- Perhaps an older sibling performed much better than the next child.
- Maybe you've uttered some harsh criticisms.
Remember to keep everything in perspective.
- Offer to help find a solution.
- Meet and check in with teachers.
- Make sure that teachers feel free to contact you if there's any problem.
- A series of little rewards rather than one big prize can be more motivating in the long run.
- Start celebrating your child's efforts and create a positive atmosphere by highlighting his success.
- During exams offer hot relaxing baths or tea, jokes or funny movie
- Remember to keep telling your child that you love them no matter how well they do at school.
