What parents should do

Many schools are in the process of holding parent-teacher conferences or announcing first semester test scores and student results. First semester results can bring both joy and sadness to students and parents.

Encourage your child instead of scolding him.

These days, my nephew (in Quang Ngai) called to confide in a sad voice. When asked, I learned that his first semester test results, grade 10, had not achieved the desired academic results. Meanwhile, for many years, he had always been "leading" the class, becoming the pride of his parents.

All of his test scores were above "eight point", including "ten point" in math, and "six point eight" in chemistry. With that chemistry score, he told me that he would not be able to achieve the title of "excellent all-round" student of the class.

When I asked about the reason, I found out that the reason why my nephew got a low score in chemistry was partly due to his own negligence. In addition, near the exam date, he had to take care of his younger sibling who was in the hospital for nearly half a month, so he didn't have much time to study.

With the results of the first semester exam, knowing that my child was sad, I tried to encourage and comfort him more because I knew he had tried his best.

What surprised me more was that my child told me that his mother was not sad and did not scold him like when he was in middle school, every time he had an exam or his academic results dropped. His mother encouraged and comforted him more and said: "There is still the second semester, you need to try harder to get better results".

Through conversation, the child's mother shared that she did not have too many expectations and wanted her child to develop naturally in terms of studying. Whatever her child's academic results were, they were all achievements, efforts, and attempts, unless the child was too playful and negligent...

"Try harder in semester 2, okay?"

When they know that their children's first semester scores and academic results are not as expected, many parents "punish" them by "forbidding" them from traveling here and there or "forbidding" them from going out too much (for fear that they will neglect their studies) or will reduce or not buy their children new clothes for Tet... They believe that such "punishment" will help their children try harder to study better in the second semester.

Parents should understand that no matter what the academic results are, they are the results of their children's efforts.

Please share, encourage and comfort your child, so that he/she can feel the sharing and understanding from his/her parents, so that he/she can feel more spirit and motivation for the next semester.

Instead of "threatening" or "forbidding" children from going out, parents should let their children play, go out, buy them new clothes, and let them go back to their hometown to visit their grandparents during Tet...

Parents should open their arms of love so that their children understand that even though their scores are not as expected, parents are always a strong spiritual support.

Tell your children that you won't be upset about their scores or rankings because you understand that they have tried their best and will try harder in the second semester!
