For some children, studying at school is an interesting and educational pastime, they are happy to study and participate in the creative life of the class. But there are children for whom school is an unpleasant duty. The child does not study well, reluctantly goes to classes, and the holidays for him are like a gift of fate. What's the matter, why the kid doesn't like school and doesn't want to study?
The most important thing is to find out the real reason for the negative attitude towards learning. It happens that parents overestimate the abilities of their child, sending him to a specialized school with a more complex program. At first, the kid will try, but over time, he will lag behind his classmates and increasingly get bad grades. Parents will start to get angry, teachers will also be unhappy and will write the student as lagging behind. As a result, the child will simply withdraw and stop learning. In this case, parents should consider the option of transferring to another school with an easier program. It also happens that the child does not like to go to school, because he is simply not interested there. Not always a teacher can find a common language with all children and captivate them with his study of the discipline. Buy your child colorful and informative encyclopedias, go to museums, watch documentaries about nature, geography and world scientific discoveries with him. After watching, be sure to discuss the film and explain the difficult points in an accessible language. Often the reason for poor learning can be conflicts between a child and a teacher or classmates. Talk frankly with your child, find out the cause of the conflict. Then go to school and talk with your teacher and class teacher, and listen to the views of all parties. It is possible that your child perceives the well-grounded demands of the teacher as nit-picking and abandoned school in protest. Check your homework personally, test the student for the assimilation of the material. If you are sure that the teacher is really unfair to your child and underestimates the grades, go to school and talk about this with the teacher, and if necessary, with the director of the educational institution. A more difficult and unpleasant situation is a conflict with classmates. Ask your teacher what is happening in the classroom, what conflicts occur and why they arise. Communicate with the parents of the offenders, only this must be done delicately so as not to aggravate the situation. A conversation with a psychologist will not be superfluous. However, if conversations have not helped and the situation has only become more complicated, consider transferring your child to another class or to another school. Sometimes the reason for poor performance is banal laziness. The child simply does not want to do homework and runs out for a walk outside or sits in front of the TV for hours. Explain to him that his studies are his groundwork for the future, perhaps it is worth coming up with a system of rewards for good grades. Do not waste time and do not wait for everything to work out by itself. If the reason why the child does not want to go to school is eliminated in time, the student's academic performance will improve.
