Many well-meaning parents seek
to help their children about teste
by "hounding" them into study
ing Thia does not mean that you
should not encourage your child
ren to make good grades and to
take an interest in the important
courses they are takiag.
Instead of repeated hounding
and nagging, try telling your child
at every opportunity hew much his
studying and learning now will
mean to him later. Tell him you
know that he can maka good
marks if he applies himself; nev
er moan that he is no good in a
subject, and tell him you know he
will fail.
Grade school is the time for
your children to learn to apply
themselves to consistent study ? to
learn to dig, if necessary. If the
normal child makes an effort to
keep up with his studies, there will
be no dread of examinations at
the term's end, even for tough
subjects. Few teachers fail stu
dents who try conscientiously and
consistently to learn through the
year.
The mental and physical health
of your child can be greatly af
fected by Jhe wrong study habits.
There are students who let bad
grades and worry over tests lead
to jitters characterlied by sleep
lessness, dilated pupils, excessive
perspiration, loss of appetite, and
other usual symptoms of situation
al anxiety.
There is evidence that undue an*
xiety about grades and tests can
trigger an existing neurosis into
an emotional explosion.
Adjusting to the pressure and
demands of school life is one of
the first important steps along
life's way for many chil(jren. By
the time they reach school age
they have usually made their ad
justment to group activity and so
cial intercourse. In a marked way
their personalities are east In
school they make the first neces
sary adjustment to applying, them
selves to work of a demanding
mental nature. Although it may all
seem very simple to a 29 or 30
year old parent ? it is not simple
to the chUd. It is new and hard,
and the child can benefit from all
the constructive help from par
ents that is possible.
