According to Dugentsova, before scolding a child for something, it is important to try to find out from him the reasons for his poor work or behavior. The expert believes that it is better to focus on rewards rather than punishment.
“Often parents (I see this all the time) unknowingly create a negative image of the educational process their child is going through. If they see a bad sign in the diary, they focus all their attention only on it and scare their children with the possibility of being a janitor. At the same time, achievements continue without even the slightest attention; This is exactly what you should focus on if you want to spark interest in education in your son or daughter!” explained the psychologist.
If a child gets a C on a task, it is important to work on that topic with him/her and work out the mistakes. In this case, importance should be given to the student’s correct actions.
“This will significantly increase the student’s motivation to achieve success,” says Dugentsova.
