my daughters progress is droping in school?

Question

I have tried every from homework to setting up conference with her teacher to see where she need helps on but nothing seems to work anyone out there have any other idea you can share......to improve my daughters progress in class.................

Answer 1

First of all, I don't see an age mentioned for your daughter. The age makes a difference in how to proceed, ie if she is elementary age, perhaps she needs glasses, or to sit in a different location in class. Perhaps she is distracted by others in her class. Trying to pin point what the issue is, by talking with her to find out what has changed.

If she is new to Junior High (7th grade) that is a huge transition year. Conflicting emotions, new challenges. An extremely important time in a young persons school life. The dynamics has changed. It is often difficult for the young teen to adapt. Again, let her know that you are there, unconditionally, for her. That you will listen to her, be her sounding board, to bounce ideas off of, or for someone that will listen to her without judgment. And stick to that, while you are her mother, being a friend is OK (within boundaries). She'll need to believe that she can count on you to truly listen and not judge. Be her rock, her best support.

If she is somewhere in between or beyond, life situation changes perspective for us at anytime, anywhere, and for any reason. Again, my best advice is to let her know that you are there for her to talk to, that you will listen and not say a word, not offer any advice, unless she wishes and directly asks your opinion. People of all ages, often need someone simply to hear them out.

Be a nonjudgmental, supportive parent and everything will work out.

Answer 2

The issues surrounding the drop in progress might stem from something outside the classroom that has nothing to do with learning...perhaps trouble at home (no offense but it has happened), or a classmate giving her problems, or a change in friends that she hangs out with may cause an attitude change. Maybe a visit to the school counselor might help.

Answer 3

My grades dropped and nothing was wrong as others have noted may be with your daughter.

I just became bored with schooling. Instead of trying to "fix" the problems. Just speak with her like a normal person. Maybe she's bored with the same routine. Find out what keeps her interest and find ways to incorporate them without being a forcefull "overprotective" parent.

Answer 4

Because you said you have tried everything, you should go directly to your daughter and talk to her about how important it is. Ask her what she wants to do in life and how she'll get there. Find out what she's passionate about and what she sees is wrong with life or the world. Ask her how she wants to make a difference and what she can do.

Answer 5

A sudden drop in grades means something is wrong outside of academics.
Peer pressure
If she's being bullied
Drugs/alcohol
Abuse of some sort (neighbors, coaches, anyone new is suspect)
Talk to her.

Answer 6

My son is going through the same thing.... He's 17 & I found out he is getting high. He says it is "no big thing" and that "my generation is stupid". If things don't change soon he probably won't graduate this year. I wish I could help.... I'm in the same boat. Good luck to US.

Answer 7

it could be alot of things, but you need to determine whether she doesn't want to learn or whether she just isn't.

If she just isn't she may have a learning diablibity: dislexia, ADD,ADHD... ect. Or maybe she's just a slow learner.

Tutoring would help her in any senario.

Answer 8

maybe ask her who she admires, or what she wants to be when she grows up. it will most likely be a profession that requires study or dedication. try and teach her dedication through this lesson

Answer 9
