If the child brings home a certificate with worse grades, parents should respond to it with a calm head. It recommends it Psychologist Emergency Medical Service Operations Center (OS) SR Andrea Husárová. It is important to realize that the relationship with the child is more important than its school benefit. TASR informed about this spokeswoman ZZS OS Danka Capáková in connection with Friday (31 January) by handing over half -year reports.
The psychologist recalled that the day of handing over the certificate could be both satisfaction and disappointment for children and their parents. At the same time, she pointed out that several children could have experienced an increased burden in recent weeks. “The child very sensitively registers the parent’s reactions to his results, although he may pretend that he is not interested. From the parents’ point of view, however, it is important to realize that the value and happiness of our child is not only determined by grades and results at school, ” she stated.
From her point of view, it is also important to realize that the child’s healthy self -confidence can also be built by confirming that life also includes failure and unfulfilled expectations. “It is crucial not to lose your desire and try. So we should avoid comparing a child with others, as it may be hurtful and demotivating for him. Openly we should talk to him about what it could do differently in the second half of the year and how we can help and support him, ” explained.
Equally important, according to a psychologist, it is also that parents accept that their child may not be perfect in every teaching subject. “It is natural that the child stands out in something, it is average in something and he does not do anything at all. This is the originality, the uniqueness of each individual, and the space for further development is created, ” A psychologist said.
As he added Director of OSS SR Osama Al-Khaldi, Prevention in the period when reporting is handed over is never enough. “The interventions concerning children and adolescents are very sensitive to experienced operators. Unfortunately, since the beginning of this year we have been registering suicides of minors. Although they do not have to be related to certificates, it is important to draw attention to the risks associated with this period, ” closed.
