You want your kids to be successful, and sometimes that means you have to push them to their best in school. However, you don’t want your teen to experience burnout as a result of pressure. Here are three tips to help your student excel without feeling the crushing weight of pressure to succeed.
- Good organization – Proper organization will help your teen to be more productive. Greater productivity and focus mean less wasted time and more opportunities to meet deadlines for school projects, college applications, essays, and the like.
- Quality social time – This can be difficult during a pandemic, but you need to make sure that your student is spending quality time with friends and family. Encourage the use of videoconferencing for friendly hangouts and try to organize some virtual social time with relatives who don’t live in your home.
- Maintain the proper balance – One failed test is not the end of the world. Your children need good food, enough sleep, and a schedule for exercise. Make schooling a priority, but also keep it in its place so it does not become all-consuming. Getting into an ivy league school is nice, but it is not the only way to have a great life. Don’t make your child feel otherwise.
