How many times have you or your child been stressed out over grades? Maybe you have a child who is a perfectionist and they just break down if they get a B. Or maybe your child has a history of struggling in school. Maybe they just give up trying after they see that first D or F. It could be that your child is somewhere in the middle, floating along that C range where the both of you know that they can do better. Now, if you’re the fortunate parent who doesn’t stress over grades and whose child doesn’t stress either, well just count yourselves fortunate enough to be anomalies. For most of us, there is some stress centered around the outcome of grades.
In this episode, I share 10 things to be cautious of when too much emphasis is placed on grades because it can be very detrimental to your child’s mental health.
