Every child can do better at school and there's no reason to suggest that a certain child is a doomed failure.
Many parents face the difficulty of improving their child's grades.
Your child's grades can be directly influenced by you.
There are lots of things that you as a parent can do to directly and indirectly help improve your child's grades at school.
1) Get your child to read novels.
Yes! It may seem really unconventional to suggest your child should read a story book but this really helps.
Reading novels increases a child's vocabulary in leaps and bounds.
This helps the child understand course notes much faster and better thus helping improve their grades.
2) Encourage your child to be practical about what he/she studies at school.
This includes encouraging them to read the news on stuff they are doing at school.
This includes getting he/she interested in news on recent discoveries, scientific breakthroughs and even current affairs.
3) Stop cramming! Discourage the concept of cramming for exams.
Get your child to ask as many questions as he wants to actually grasp and understand a subject.
Once something is understood it will never be forgotten.
4) Be strict on sleep timings.
Sleeping late hinders a child's concentration at school.
Allow late sleeping over weekends only.
5) Relaxation is of ultimate importance with regard to getting good grades.
Your child should not be pressured unnecessarily and should have ample free time to enjoy themselves.
Once the brain is relaxed only then can it accept information in a speedy manner.
6) Encourage sports.
Physical exercise makes the body fit.
Not only does this reduce sickness it also makes a person more alert.
Finally, there is nothing that helps a child do well in school as much as the moral support he/she receives from a parent.
Always be encouraging of your child's activities and be prepared to stand by their side for any help they may require.
