Does your style as a parent affect the grades your children receive in
school? Is there anything that you, as the parent, can do to help your children improve their grades?The answer to both these questions is a definite yes.
According to a Stanford University study, there is a relationship between parents' actions and their children's school performance. Parents can, and do, have an influence on their children's grades.
Here are
three actions you can take do to help your children get higher grades in school:
1.Be firm, yet encouraging. Set reasonable guidelines for your children
and stick to them, but also take the time to explain the reasons for the rules.
Try to give your children the sense that you have confidence in their
capabilities and that you know they are trying. Even if they aren't always
trying their hardest, they may put more effort into their work knowing you
think so highly of them.
2. Communicate. Talk with your children in terms they can understand.
Explain to them why you think school is important and why they need to do their homework. It may not
make math any easier, but at least they know that you value what they are
doing. And take time to really listen to what they have to say. You can let
them know you're listening by giving a one-sentence summary of what they said
before going on to what you want to tell them.
3. Let them play. Unlikely as it may seem, participation in school
sports is associated with better grades. This is because children use play as a way of learning, rather than
just as a diversion, as most adults do. They also have more energy than most adults and need a constructive
outlet for it.
