Do you think parents are to blame if a child failed kindergarten or 1st grade?
Yes unless the child has a learning disability. If a parent is active in their child's education, then their kids should have not failed. But I thought it was impossible to fail kindergarten. There's a problem if a child fails kindergarten.
How can I create interest in my six years old son to do his school homeworks?
Some respond to a reward system, others respond to a system of rules like a “contract” where both parties are responsible for different aspects of life, still others respond to “punitive” measures. Your Child’s likes and dislikes are factors as well. It also depends on the nature of the home work. For instance if math and its concepts are difficult then there may be a greater reluctance to do the work for fear of “failure”. Or perhaps writing skills are difficult. My daughter is learning disabled and for her writing anything was sheer misery. So we turned it into a game. We would write stories together on the computer. I would start the story with a line or two then she got to add the next line with help and then I would do the next line and so on. With math, she had few problems but as a dyslexic, she some times wrote her numbers backwards or scrambled things up a bit so we used a tactile system using blocks with plus signs and minus signs so that she could literally stack the numbers and do the math “upside down”. For her it worked. You may want to make sure that your child does not have vision or auditory issues and then perhaps have your child checked for a learning disability. In some cultures there is a stigma attached to this but do what is best for your child. Good Luck to both of you!
How do I make my 13-year-old son get interested in his studies so he takes them seriously and gets A grades without me telling him all the time study and get As? How come some kids his age are very serious about studies and their parents don't even care about it?
I guess the main reason other kids can do it is because their parents don't care. Here's my story:My parents never bothered to interfere with what or how I was studying. They'd only listen to my results at the end of the year. If it was bad, they'd ask me to improve or else they'd congratulate. In 7th grade, (13 years old) I scored something like 70 percentile and my English marks was poor. This time my mother was tensed, she felt I'd not to do well and kept asking me to study throughout 8th and history repeated itself. By the time of 9th grade, she had stopped asking me to study. That year I scored 86 or 88 percentile. In the first test of 10th grade, I failed in second language. The classteacher called up my parents and told I'd fail my tenth grade and they'd remove from school and every possible bullshit. This time my parents told nothing, they didn't ask me to study or force me to or anything a common parent would do. I realised it was the time to pull my sock up and started studying. I ended up falling in love with science. I scored a 9.6 CGPA that year. You can't force someone to love a subject. It'll only make them hate it more if you pressurise them to. I've seen so many people whose parents force them to study but in vain. They ended up destroying the creativity in their own children.
My 8 year old hates me? :(?
My eight year old rotates every other week between his father and I. I always make sure he gets to his appointments, sports things, and school functions. I help him with his homework take him to the park at least two weeknights of the week where I actively play with him. When he is at his fathers he pretty much stays in his room and plays video games all the time. Whatever microwavable thing he wants to eat he gets. I have had the school call me several times because my son doesn't go to school when he is there! Recently, he chose that he wanted to play baseball. Well he has been having issue concentrating and not trying. I asked him if he wanted to quit playing and he was upset and said no. Then I told him he HAD to practice for his team, he was a part of a team and he has to at least try his best and no playing around. Well this is todays drama anyway. Of course his dad blames the coaches and refuses to let my son take accoutabiltity for his own actions. This is always the case, nothing is my sons fault and so forth. I love my son just as much as the next parent but I know if we don't make him try or teach him about accountability, it could lead to very challenging teenage years. So he hates me! I don't get it. I do everything for him and when I told him I loved him tonight he said he didn't love me. And he said it seriously and not out of anger! Of course this brought me to tears. What am I doing wrong? Why does he hate me?
Why should I buy my 8 year old a smartphone?
I've got a brother who's 8 and has got two smartphones. Let me indulge you. I'm in the bath as i write this and i can hear him screaming because my parents took the phone off him so he can do his homework. This isn't uncommon in my house and i can safely say my brother is addicted to it. Youtubers he watches include top 10′s, Morgz and SuperMarioLogan. I've known him to be playing fortnite while two phones are on full blast watching two different things. Most of the time he doesn't even watch them, it's just a comfort thing. Like a baby with a blanket. If it's taken off him or it dies, he will screech until he has one of my parent's phone. It's extremely unhealthy and didn't meet the national average in his tests because he won't do his homework. Eg spelling, maths, science. My parent's try but they cannot get him to do it. He's also started copying the people he watches and makes strange noises (the sound Jeffy makes in SML) which gets looked at funnily. He also shouts everything and screams regularly.He also once came down and said “I've just been gang banged. Me and my mum just burst out laughing but we knew it was wrong because an 8 year old shouldn't be saying that. He also once said in his class “I'm beating my meat, dammit" my mum had to go in for a meeting.He doesn't use it for communication he uses it to watch inappropriate YouTube videos and is addicted to it. He has to have one in his hand or he's uncomfortable. My parents cannot take it away as he once screamed for so long and loud he damaged his vocal chords.Please wait until your child is older.
