Every child learns differently and at different paces. We often find ourselves caught in the comparison game. Make sure you know your child’s strengths and that you’ve communicated those to your child. God created us all with strengths and weaknesses. Articulating that to your child can be tough- “Hey buddy, you’re just not good at that.” However, helping our child to this realization will help them NOT feel like a failure if they happen to receive a failing grade.
Our next post will include some helpful tips on HOW to help your child if he/she is struggling with school.
As always, we welcome your feedback and prayer requests, so feel free to contact me with those at [email protected]. Your partner, Bryon Shaw
