One of the major concerns of parents is the success of their children in school. Academic success is therefore one of the objectives to be achieved for students.
Today we are going to give you 6 tips to help them.
1. Regularity
Regularity is a fundamental condition for success in school. The ground work must be regular. You have to set a time each day reserved for homework, without screens. For example, when your child comes home from school, he can take a snack break and then get to work for 30 minutes or 1 hour every day, so as not to be late.
2. The pleasure of going to school
Primary school teachers insist that children should enjoy going to school. Parents also have a role to play: take an interest in what your child does in class, what he plays at recess with his friends, attend meetings, offer your help at the school party. It is important that your child feels that school is not a special place, that you also love it and play a part in it.
3. Self-confidence
In order to succeed, your child must feel valued and have a positive self-image. Teachers and parents hold this in their hands: believe in your child, praise him when he succeeds and motivate him when he encounters difficulties. He must also understand that failures are inevitable in all learning.
4. Tutoring
It is a kind of relay between school and home. Someone needs to keep track of your child’s schooling and hoework outside of school. If you can’t, maybe a big brother, grandma, or cousin can.
5. Open-mindedness
It’s about arousing your children’s curiosity and thirst for learning. For this, there are several ways to achieve this in a fun way: visits to museums, castles, monuments, trips, registrations at the library or the media library, a sports association, and others. If your child is not a fan of museums, he may be passionate about reading and sports. There is something for everyone, you just have to find the sporting or cultural activity that you will like. Everything is good to take to arouse their curiosity.
6. Everyday life
Your child must assimilate that what he is taught at school can be applied in daily life. You can contribute to this by, for example, having your child count the products on the shopping list to check that you have not forgotten anything, or by having him write a card for his grandma.
You can learn to study effectively , to stay motivated , to know how to manage your stress , to organize your time , to acquire self-confidence , to memorize well , to prepare well for your exams , to develop a good state of mind , etc.
Well, now some people can say to me, “Yes, that’s all well and good, but did all those who succeeded need to learn how to learn, or did they need to learn how to succeed?”
First of all, it is impossible to succeed if you do not apply certain principles or certain secrets . Sometimes we apply them without knowing it, in other words without knowing that we are applying the principles of success.
7. This is what happens most often. For me, for example, the first time I obtained the mark of 20/20 at school, I was 5 years old and I was in the second year primary class.
But can it be said that I knew exactly what I was doing and that I was aware that I was applying the principles of academic success at that age? Clearly not.
However, when I look back today, when I review my way of working and everything that contributed to my success, I can see that several principles of success were applied to make me successful.
So, yes we can succeed without having consciously decided to apply the principles of success, yes we can succeed without knowing that we are applying the principles of success. But we cannot succeed if these principles are not respected .
The advantage here is that if you know exactly which method to use or what to do in a particular situation, you will do better.
If you know exactly how to revise (or how to revise your child) to aim for the score of 20/20. If you know how to stay focused in class (or how to keep your child focused in class).
