Ep 17 - Is Your Child Under Achieving

You have tried to support your child by helping them develop good study habits and showing them the importance of a well balanced daily routine.

But their grades are dropping and they just seem disinterested.

 

“What’s the point?”

“Schoolwork is boring.”

 

In this episode, I discuss the difference between Under-Achieving and Not Performing.

 

I explain why, more often than not - your child’s lack of interest in their studies and schoolwork is more a result of Fear rather than Laziness.

 

This is not about making sure your child gets straight A’s all the time - it is about helping your child reach their full potential ( inside and outside the classroom ) whatever that means for them

 

I leave you with 4 pointers to ensure your child feels properly supported :

  1. What’s their MOTIVATION
    2. PRAISE the Effort
  2. Avoid Using Labels
  3. Set Realistic Expectations
