After the exam results are in isn’t exactly the best time to find out that your child is struggling at school. Do you know what signs to look for before then? Here are 10 early warning signs to be aware of. Your child:
- Has failing grades on tests and class work
- Brings home reports of behavioral problems from school
- Doesn’t attend school regularly
- Takes no interest in school activities or courses and doesn’t seem to want to be involved
- Doesn’t want to discuss classes or grades and becomes annoyed if the subjects are broached
- Never brings books or papers home and doesn’t discuss or share homework with you
- Doesn’t seem to study for exams or doesn’t even know how to
- Has difficulty focusing on reading or writing
- Says that he or she is bored either because he or she already knows the work or because it is too difficult and he or she will never “get it”
- Appears generally depressed
