Generally underachievers have poor study habits therefore; dislike home assignments. Parents too feel helpless in this regard and seek help from teachers.
Considering the fact that behaviour can change over time and only under the right conditions, here are seven comprehensible and effective tips that teachers can recommend to parents.
- Train your child to become organize and follow day planner so he must know when assignments are due.
- Allocate a particular area for homework at your home.
- Reduce distractions such as television, games, social media, music, and regular family activities.
- Permit children to choose their homework hours and their preferred learning style. Such as if they concentrate better with music on, let it be. Be regular about homework time.
- Facilitate them to prepare for the real world and learn the skills of school success, including scheduling, tasks lists, and completion of work on time.
- If you do decide to lessen or take away privileges, be regular and follow throughout. For instance if video or computer games are interfering with homework time, you must not buy them for your children.
- Most importantly, detach your feelings about your child from your feelings about their poor performance; they know they're loved apart from how they perform in school.
Though there is no quick fix solution to reverse or terminate underachievement however, knowing the cause for underachievement may help in figuring out what approaches work best.
