With my more than ten years
experience in teaching, I realized that most children that perform poorly often
come from a home with permissive parents. In this case, parents give free
reign to their children. Indeed, children
need a close supervision if they must excel. Some parents buy many toys for
their children to play with after school. Although this is not wrong in itself,
it only becomes an issue when it affects other academic activities, such as
studying their books and doing their school assignments. If this problem starts
when they are young, then they are going to have big challenges. Some have
serious reading problem, and also performs poorly in Mathematics.
Additionally, when your kids
watch too much television their performance drops in school. If watching
television for many hours becomes a habit in the family, such child will have
problem paying attention in class.
Some parents do not show interest
in their children’s school work. This is bad. As a parent you have to buy out
time to check your children’s books when you return from work.
QUESTION
How can busy parents show
interest in their children’s education? We value your comments.
