Help, My Child Is Struggling Academically 4

Hello Great Mothers! How are we doing?

As mothers, we have vital roles to play in the lives of our children to ensure that they grow up to be healthy, balanced adults. Being pregnant, supporting human life for nine months, and eventually giving birth to the child while running the risk of losing her life are all part of a mother’s responsibilities. A mother’s involvement in her children’s lives extends beyond merely giving birth; there are five additional crucial tasks that mothers play. One of these key roles is being the child’s teacher, and getting involved in the child’s education.

In my last article, I talked about how parents should be involved in their children’s education to support the child in performing well in school, and that mothers have a greater responsibility because we spend more time with them. Additionally, we talked about the actions a mother might take to support a child who is having academic difficulties. There are nine steps a mother can take at intervals to help her child who is having difficulty in his/her education. Three of these steps were discussed In my previous article. Meanwhile, we’ll talk about two more in the following paragraphs;

1) Have High Expectations: Your expectations of your child’s performance will help to some extent in ensuring that they succeed academically. Having high expectations for your child does not entail expecting them to have A+.in all subjects. Instead, you should challenge your child to go beyond what they now believe is possible. A wide range of variables, such as your child’s age, innate abilities, and areas of interest, will determine what realistic expectations are.

2) Read to your Child
The single most crucial action you can do to improve your child’s academic performance is to read to and with them. Establishing a pattern of reading for your child from an early age is crucial since children acquire literacy skills long before they learn to read. From infancy through youth, parents are advised to read to their kids for 30 minutes each day. The time spent reading by parents and children together should be more equitably distributed after kids can read. Children develop learning potential before the age of three, therefore reading to your child frequently can help this process.

Wow! I know mothers have a lot of duties. God has indeed given us inner strength, but we need to continually return to Him for guidance and for Him to replenish our supplies of this strength.

In my next section, I’ll go through the remaining steps a mother can take to help a child who is struggling academically.
