Report Card Time
It is that time of the school year again--report card time. While many students will come home with good grades, others would rather stuff their report cards deep into their backpacks than show them to their parents. As parents, you want your child to do well in school, so what do you do when your child's report card isn't as good as it should be?
Children get frustrated and upset when their report cards show they are doing poorly. Understanding your child's ability and determining if your expectations are too high will allow both you and your child to set appropriate goals for each class before report cards are distributed. It will also help establish an environment in which your child is not apprehensive about sharing their report card with you.
Sylvan offers the following tips for parents dealing with a poor report card:
1. Set expectations. Talk with your child before the next report card and explain that you will not be upset if he does not earn all A's-but you will be upset if he doesn't try his hardest and ask for help when needed.
2. Communicate with your child. Talk with your child every night about school. Do not wait until report card season to do this.
3. Set goals. If you child is currently a C student, then setting a goal of getting all A's may not be reasonable. However, creating an improvement plan for each subject with your child will help him work towards an attainable goal.
4. Always praise your child's successes
