Yesterday we looked at what it meant when your child got the same grades or comments over the whole year. Today I want to talk about what it means when your child’s grades change over the year.
First, there is always a reason that a grade changes, and you need to find out why so you can either provide extra support or give extra praise and encouragement.
If your child’s grades go up during the year ask your child what might have caused the change. Did your child work harder? What caused this? Did the subject become easier? Did your child suddenly become more interested in the subject?
Once you know the reason you can make sure that you encourage the action that caused it!
