Once admitted to a good school, parents often think that the next years will pass and their children will become successful professionals of tomorrow. It is not a magic wand that works in the case of children. It is the hard effort of parents and eagerness of the child, that can together make one be good at school level. Also, if a student is good at school, it can be expected that in next years, college or beyond that, they will continue with their good performance.
So how exactly do parents ensure that their child performs well in school? Well, here are ten basic tips that you can follow in order to improve your child’s school level performance. These are ideal for both primary and secondary students, who want to pursue a good life.
What is taught in the classroom, cannot be exactly taught at home or at coaching centers? You have to ensure that your child is attentive in class so that they have an understanding of what happens there. If an over cranky or super naughty child enters the class, then that spoils the classroom environment. Before sending your child to school, make sure they are well versed with the classroom rules and puts up a decent behaviour there.
Children who are inattentive in class fails to keep pace with the academic part. This definitely affects their scores and marks. Also, your child won’t able to articulate to you what exactly happened in class and you won’t be able to prepare your child for the same. In order to fall in the category of good students, do ensure your child has the ability to keep pace with the classroom proceedings.
The first step so that your child is in pace with classroom progress is that they are punctual and abides by deadlines set by teachers. If time wise your child falls back in school, then it definitely hinders upon their performance. To ensure that your child is responsive to deadlines or punctuality, you have to teach your child, basic time management rules.
All children at school level must learn, how to respect parents, teachers, and elders. If a child cannot do this, then success is really doubtful for them. However, respecting elders around is a trait that can be taught to children by parents only.
If from an early age, children can be encouraged for healthy competition with friends or peers, then this boosts their performance. However, a young mind should not be made to conscious about competition as the end result can be harmful. In being competitive, set small targets for your child such that they can achieve it, celebrate the success and move for the next milestone.
Don’t make your child stick to books and notepads only. Let them have their own time doing healthy things that they like to. It can be a game, some coloring, crafts, practicing music and so much more. In case of co-curricular activities, do not throw one on your child. Let them pick their own co-curricular activity but take care, that they spend time on the same.
Children can be introverts but parents have to work on this and make sure, that the child is good going with friends and classmates. It is important for children to communicate with friends and classmates so that they remain in friendly company. If a child is isolated from the rest in class or school, then the outcome might not be very favorable.
Exactly how the personal and professional behavior of a adults differ, so is the case for children. At home, they can be naughty, relaxed and easy to go. In school, children must put up a composed and confident behaviour. The behaviour a child puts up in school should be taken care of by both parents and teachers. If a child’s behaviour is slightly unusual in school, it should be immediately taken care of.
Motivate your child to improve their performance at school by setting small goals. It can be a ten on ten in the next maths test or scoring an A+ in English in the next terminal exam. Setting small targets excites children to earn it and the outcome is, an overall change in their performance as students. If your child underperforming in school, this is one of a good way to bring in a significant change.
Often children spend more time gaming or with phones or television, after school time. To make your child perform really good, do ensure that even after school they are spending quality time with books and copies. Studying in school alone cannot ace one’s performance. The same has to be practiced at home for children to perform well academically.
